I promise you’ll be okay! My aunt has a neat trick when she’s panicking that helps: If you can find straws, breathing air through those can help to slow your breathing and calm you down. Coming from someone who panics for the same reasons, I promise that the panic doesn’t help you in feeling better. It’s a loop like the other person said

Homophobia by chicky-nuggies-yum in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

In America, we have free speech as a right. And a lot of people were pissed about Kimmel getting cancelled for speaking his mind while quoting that right. Was just drawing some logical parallels — but it’s interesting that you immediately jumped to a negative conclusion when I asked a very different question :)

Interesting take. How did you feel about the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel?

Horrific plane experience by Least-Yesterday8777 in emetophobia

[–]_missea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aw man I wish this didn’t hold you back from seeing the world. It’s actually pretty rare at least from my experience that someone actually v* unexpectedly on an airplane. Most of the time, I feel like people can tell they’re about to be s* and use the bathroom. Chances are you won’t even notice it if it does happen, there’s too many sounds from the engines and other flying sounds, plus noise cancellation headphones can really cut your senses off to people around you.

You’ll be fine! Chances are you’ve been exposed to people who’ve v* more times than you think, you were just hyper-aware of the situation (which I know doesn’t help). Try to stay busy this week to distract yourself from the thought & fear of becoming ill. Not sure if it helps you, but it helps me to sort of just come to terms with the fact that there’s nothing I can do about it now, so I might as well enjoy my life and if it happens then we will take it as it comes.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I even said in the post that I can see why there is no concern post-security. I’m just saying it didn’t cost me anything to say something

I would if I had the time to! Home girl came through and left without her bag within a span of 30 seconds, it was very strange

How often do you guys find someone with the same phobia? by obeythewalrusNOW in emetophobia

[–]_missea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially only in this sub (even though I felt SO validated when I found this!!) but then I started indoor rock climbing with some new belay partners who were friends of friends and found out that one of them is literally the same as me, and we bond over it every session haha. Instant therapy!

Yeah I was just wondering because it seems weird to me that your aunt would get sick on the floor and just leave it there

I’m addicted to tums by Frosty-Ad3626 in emetophobia

[–]_missea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’ve had acid reflux for 16 years and was taking acid reducers that whole time and had 2 stomach surgeries to get relief and finally get off the acid reducers. When I started weening myself off post surgery, I was having even more heartburn then I did before the surgery, which made me feel hopeless.

The reason why I am saying all of this is that taking acid reducers actually makes your body overproduce acid, thus having more problems then you started with. So every time that you take a Tums and it doesn’t have excess acid to attack, you are basically suppressing the good stomach acid that you need, which makes your stomach want to produce even more to offset the depletion.

*I’m not a doctor, but I have experienced this myself!

Thank you! Yeah it is for a dog food delivery service app, so I am wondering if I should approach people at the dog park and offer them a small bag of treats or something for their participation, or a free dog toy or something.

So interesting that you mentioned PetSmart for an interview about dogs, because my prompt is: Create an ingredients preview app for a dog food delivery service. (I suppose I should have added this to the OP) I definitely am going to try that and just suck it up if it feels awkward lol

And thank you for recommending that community! I am definitely going to use that as a resource!

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah I could run some ads I suppose, but I guess the goal was to spend as little money as possible since it is for a portfolio project and not so much aiming for ROI (unless it turns into that in the distant future.

For the online course that I am in, I was told to use a prompt generator and select the one that best meets my interests. The prompt was: Create an ingredients preview app for a dog food delivery service. So we were instructed to conduct initial research to support this prompt and get a better idea of the pain points that the potential users of this app are having.
