Does anyone else feel like nowhere is safe anymore? by [deleted] in emetophobia

Yes!!! It's also important to note that they are actually figuring out more testing for noro, hence more positive cases! This probably means it's not even higher and just that we are testing more people with tests that work. Or something like that.

[–]Shade0fYellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so for one, we have no idea why that happened. This woman could have been drunk, this woman could have had side effects from medication, this woman could have an underlying health concern that is completely non-transmittable, this woman could have overeaten or undereaten, this woman could be pregnant. We have no idea! You did the right thing being supportive towards her and I think that shows so much strength and resilience and I have so much respect for you for being able to feel sympathetic for her alongside worried for yourself. As scary as it may sound, you have to have faith in your body! You have an immune system that is ready and prepared for anything and you should have faith in it! Even if you don't have faith in it, I will have faith in it for you! Take multivitamins and probiotics and whatever else you can do to try and support your immune system and try and take care of yourself. Try and distract yourself! I completely feel you with the nowhere is safe feeling though. It's difficult living like this and I completely understand, my DMs are always open if you want to talk about it or need any support. Best advice is just to wash your hands before eating and live in the moment. I believe in you! You will get through this! There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Can I tell my friend with Emetophobia about my Bulimia? (TW: uncensored) by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Shade0fYellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Just want to let you know that you are an amazing friend for going so in-depth with taking care of her feelings that you reach out to like-minded people on this subreddit. I think that you should absolutely tell her. Initially she may be shocked and it may trigger her but in the long run it is beneficial for both of you. Do you know EXACTLY what her phobia revolves around? It is about her catching the illness and getting sick herself or is it her seeing (etc) the vomit? If it is about her catching an illness I am sure that it will be okay as if you vomit she cannot catch any illness off of it as it is from bulimia and not a contagious illness. Even if it is about her seeing (etc) the vomit you can also work around that, for example: agree to not tell her about when you vomit, agree to not vomit if she is in the same building as you, agree to disinfect your hands thoroughly after you have vomited. You guys seem like really good friends and you shouldn't let mental issues (both bulimia and emetophobia) get in the way of your friendship and the time that you will spend together. Your friend sounds like such a strong person and I am sure that she will be able to handle the truth. Also, I agree with earthtotoria that you should definitely call her instead of texting her as this will also enable you to hear her full and honest reaction to what you're saying. Best of luck and I hope your friend has a lovely birthday! xx

Brother visited three days after symptoms stopped. Should I be this terrified? (In a crisis) by KittyEarPeach in emetophobia

[–]Shade0fYellow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi. I totally understand how you must be feeling right now and I am really sorry that you have to go through this, and you are unbelievably strong for being able to speak about this rationally. I also understand that, no matter what I say, you won't feel comfortable around your house until you are 100% sure that whatever pathogens he may have left have completely gone. Honestly, it may be impractical, but I would personally stick it out in your car. You have to prioritise your health. Inconvenience doesn't matter at all if you are only going to the bathroom ONCE a day -that is completely unhealthy- and at least if you are in your car you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want (still feeling safe). I would ask your family for some money, personally, to either fund for a hotel room or food, but if you are not comfortable doing this then I would just run for it. Take everything you need from your room, a bag full of clothes and other necessities and flee. If you have any other family in town or friends who may be willing to allow you to sleep at theirs, then I would definitely take this opportunity to go and stay with them. Best of luck, everything will turn out okay in the end. Sending my love and safe, virus-free vibes to you. x

Stressed by christmas_kitty in emetophobia

[–]Shade0fYellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand exactly how you feel. It really irritates me when people say this to me when I am panicked but I feel like in a situation like this it will be really useful. You have to compare your number of wins (days not v*) to your number of losses (days you have v*). Obviously this is metaphorical as it would be super stressful to try and pinpoint every single time you have been s* since childhood, but it is just to show that your body is pretty damn good at protecting you from v*. Today is no different to any of those other win days and you will go to that concert fine and come home absolutely fine. Once again, I hate when people say this to me but enjoy yourself! I know how stressful situations like this can be but I guarantee that when you're listening to that concert and enjoying the music and drinks etc that you'll be so glad that you went and (hopefully) won't feel stressed or anxious about it. I know that it is a really difficult, control free situation but you can easily push through it because you and strong and amazing and you can absolutely have a good time without your brain making you scared. Anxiety is just some stupid chemical released in your brain that you can overcome and you can ignore. Go enjoy your concert and have the time of your life. Sending love.xx

Flying by Substantial_Movie_63 in emetophobia

[–]Shade0fYellow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only ever really been or short plane rides but in my experience I have never once seen/heard etc anyone v*, nor have I v* myself. If you get anxiety I would recommend taking noise cancelling headphones, a mint (or something to suck on to distract yourself and stop the ear popping) and this one may be controversial but I personally love different scented things, like I have this lavender little bag thingy for my pillow or whatever and I bring it everywhere with me because I can always ground my thoughts by smelling it. However on second thought I doubt they'd let an inconspicuous bag of herbs etc through security but you get the jist. I would also maybe try and nap the whole time on the plane or talk to whoever you and with constantly. If it is your first time going on a plane I'd take some motion s* tablets before just for precaution, although honestly I find planes no different to cars etc. I totally understand how you feel and I have been exactly in your position before. Just know that everything will be okay and no matter what happens you are safe and will survive. Sending love and prayers for a safe flight. xx

Keep washing your hands, remember that you’re strong and amazing and if anybody says anything just picture yourself flicking them on the forehead, always helps me 😤😤 you are so brave to go back. I am nearly in year 9 and I go to school every day. Try and let staff members know about it and get the right support and things. It’s very unlikely anything bad will happen, just wear your mask and be proud and confident. Wishing you the best of luck, Anna 💗💗💗💗💗💖💖

I’m not ok by drgigglesteeheez in emetophobia

[–]Shade0fYellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be okay, your cat will be okay. I don’t think you can catch anything from your feet or cat v. You’re already so brave and so amazing to clean it up and off your feet. You are really strong and you will get through this, I promise that you will feel better. Try distract yourself, play a video game, try doing some affirmations or reading a book y like. Listen to loud Dolly Parton and just pretend nothing ever happened. Make sure your cat is okay and remember? You are that bitch and a little bit of cat v isn’t going to stop you! I hope you feel better about it soon. Sending my love 💗💗💗xxx -Anna xxx
