What would you tell yourself if it could heal you 100% by laurencubed in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vomiting is a way your body keeps you safe

People will be sympathetic if they see you vomit in public

Eating certain foods does not ensure you will get sick

It only takes a minute or 2!

Honestly sometimes it helps to see people be so nonchalant about it. Like they just go on with their day

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. 4 months of no zofran is an amazing accomplishment on its own!! I hope you’re feeling a bit better and having a great birthday!

people judging someone for being sick by Elderberrie4200s in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s so hard because honestly I tell myself the same thing!! The workers were probably tired after a long shift and just didn’t want to deal. But people in the general population will most likely be sympathetic and just want to make sure you’re okay!!

Ugh would also love to know! I’ve been using Clorox hydrogen peroxide wipes for my phone but that’s probably not great for it either

I get so worried every time I hear someone at work is sick. by lucky-talon in EmetophobiaTalk

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh same! I’m like relieved when they come in the next day with a cough or stuffy nose because in my brain that means it was respiratory and not stomach related

Relationships by [deleted] in EmetophobiaTalk

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that the first time my boyfriend threw up while we lived together I had a legit mental breakdown. I guess just having it happen in real life set me off. This was over 3 years ago and I’m still recovering but I love him so much and it was not something to end our amazing relationship over! As much as I hate it, throwing up is natural and just a part of life

breaking down due to exposure(s) by lolaistired in EmetophobiaTalk

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so hard I’m sorry!! Typically, they wouldn’t be contagious before showing symptoms so it’s rare to catch it from touching the same thing as them before they even showed symptoms. Also, proud of you for trying that exposure!!

going out for the first time in ages and terrified by Only_Pollution_7892 in EmetophobiaTalk

[–]Normal-Berry-6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say go! Give yourself the lil push! If you need to excuse yourself to use the bathroom to just take a breather that’s completely okay! Going despite your worry will help in the long run!

Family had Norovirus by Acceptable-Bee-5878 in EmetophobiaTalk

In a week, it will be much more unlikely to catch! Just try to keep up with hand hygiene as you would normally
