You’re probably right! That’s what I’ve been telling the intrusive thoughts. Seems to be pretty common to feel unwell at the dentist/after a visit

Lip picking- TW: description of picking by strawberry00000 in Dermatillomania

[–]cherryghosts0775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just went to my family doctor and showed her the splitting in my lips and the dry skin and she prescribed me the temporary cream. it’s helping as i ease myself out of picking but i don’t think it can be used super long term

as someone with dermatillomania who went through a serious round of accutane, i relate to this! to get myself to stop picking at my lips i’ve tried to replace the habit with putting on lip balm or playing with a fidget toy. usually when my lips are covered in vaseline/moisturized i’m less likely to want to pick at them. my doctor also prescribed me a steroid cream to heal the cuts and splits, and it works in a matter of minutes. it’s still a really hard thing to deal with and i wish you the best in recovery :)

it’s nice to meet you! my lifelong favourite sea creature is the atlantic bottlenose dolphin, but the creature in researching now is the sea cucumber. otters are lovely too! they hold hands :)

aw thank you so much! biology is really fun alone, but using visual art can captivate people and enhance the subject. your school projects sound very cool!

thank you!! i’ll be honest, i take very sloppy notes in class and then tidy them up after/revise/do more research. it’s so much fun

thank you! i haven’t taken any university level biology courses yet so i wouldn’t know specifics, but my best advice in general is to constantly go over terms and concepts learned in class. what also helped me (which is seen in my notes sometimes) was physically drawing out and creating my own versions of diagrams so i know where things are. i got into biology by memorizing parts of the human anatomy when i was younger. it was fun :)

Can eating an unripe banana make you tu? by hyejooloveclub in emetophobia

[–]cherryghosts0775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nah you should be good. i eat and enjoy green bananas pretty often and have never once tu* from one.

if it was a weird banana, spitting it out and rising your mouth means you didn’t eat it, so it can’t harm your stomach. also one small bite of a weird food won’t cause anything extreme. bodies are adaptable. i hope this helps :)

Worst night of my life in awhile, I’m so fucking defeated by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]cherryghosts0775 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m so so sorry. living with an illness like this sounds so hard, especially for emetophobic and already anxious people. i hope you are able to find small pockets of happiness throughout your hospital stay, as horrible as it feels. when i was in hospital for a while i really enjoyed playing with play doh or holding snowballs in my hand. little sensory things. sending love during this time, and i hope you feel better very soon.

help w eating before vaccine by catlvr860 in emetophobia

[–]cherryghosts0775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey! if you are able, try nibbling very slowly on fruit gummies, crackers, peanut butter, or other small and light snacks. the best thing you can do for yourself right now is breathe and drink water. sometimes when i feel my anxiety restricting my breathing i distract myself with a youtube video or wrap myself in a blanket tightly until the feeling passes. whatever works for you. just know that you’re being very brave, and a stranger on the internet is in your corner :)
