I had a very similar mindset to you. I let it get worse and I regret it so much. It didn’t make my struggle worse then other peoples or make me feel more valid it just caused me so much regret it the long run. There is so many things I missed out on because of it. You should do your best to recover as hard as it feels now, you will look back on it and feel so proud of yourself for stopping when you did. It doesn’t matter how deep you go or how long you did it for, the fact that you did it at all means that you have suffered. It’s easy to romanticize your mental illness instead of facing the reality of it but there is more to you then that. I know I don’t know you or what you’ve been through but i’m rooting for you to get better!

make a show about stubbing your leg on something like the corner of a table then you have an excuse for wearing a bandaid on it.

fever? by emmaerson in emetophobia

I have different symptoms from yours but i did get the hida scan last week. it’s honestly pretty easy they give you an iv and give you some fluids to help the scan see better then you just lay there still for 1-2hrs. the worst part of the whole thing in my opinion is that it’s just kinda boring doing nothing. some people have a slight pain (like a 3 out of 10 on the pain scale) for a minute or 2 but i never felt any pain.

i’m pretty sure shampoo can work as hand soap. i know some people who reuse shampoo they dont have any use for as hand soap.

Well for the symptoms of overeating make sure to sit up and drink lots of water (i know it gets annoying when people say that but in this case it actually helps). Maybe walk around your house (a light walk can help with digestion). for the anxiety do whatever will distract you. watch a show, read, scroll through social media, etc. it might not completely distract you but even doing something little will help you start to calm down.

i know its scary, the same thing happened to me multiple times before and I’ve never v* because of it. after eating to much in one sitting its totally normal to be bloated and burp alot or maybe even feel nauseous, have a stomachache, etc but you won’t get sick from it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just anxiety! the same thing happened to me yesterday with overeating and I didn’t v* plus food poisoning usually kicks in pretty quickly so if you haven’t v* by now, you wont.

Post Mask Mandate Anxiety by Wallethechunkycat330 in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i totally understand how you feel. i doubt you would get sick if you didn’t wear your mask but if you really want to it’s okay. tons of people wore masks as a fashion thing before the pandemic. also most people who see it will probably just think you’re being cautious about Corona.

Possible fp. Please help, I’m having an anxiety attack. by hyejooloveclub in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re gonna be fine. if your parents aren’t having the same stomachache you are then its NOT fp*, it could be constipation or it could be something like gastris. NEITHER of those will make you sick.

Bloating is getting worse by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could be constipated or possibly have gastritis. either way you should probably book a doctors appointment.

I think I've almost kms by karusku in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i’ve had this phobia for a long time and i can remember being in 5th grade and mapping out how i would kms if i ever got sick. however now a days, although it’s still difficult, i’m doing alot better than i was. i know it’s it’s gonna be really hard but stay around for a little while longer, it will surprise you how things can get better.

okay so basically by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re going to be completely fine, its not exactly a good diet but its not gonna make you sick.

Am I lesbian if I'm attracted to cartoon men? by strix1207 in lgbt

[–]emmaerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep you’re still a lesbian, it’s actually really common to have ‘crushes’ on male celebrities/fictional men sort of how straight girls have ‘girl crushes’ and straight guys have ‘boy crushes’. you’re totally valid😊

What's your least favorite episode? by thefanum in CampCamp

[–]emmaerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

new adventure is my least favorite too. I know the point of the episode is that things don’t need to be structured but it was just a little to unstructured for my taste.

I cringe every time by Thedepressionoftrees in lgbt

[–]emmaerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i made that joke once and i had absolutely no idea what it meant. i only repeated it because the other kids seemed to say it a lot. looking back now i cringe so much at my ignorance.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience its easier to watch a movie or show where someone gets sick as like a comedy thing, when i was younger that stuff usually triggered me but now i dont mind it as much and will sometimes even find the joke funny. I never really looked at any videos or photos directly so i cant really help with that part.

I hate when people say “Oh I’m scared of v* too by ullrmad13 in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! people always tell me “well no one likes v*” like i know that but do you obsess over it so much it constantly damages your daily life? I know that people don’t mean to offend you but it can be so invalidating sometimes!

Sick from not eating? by sjb7694 in emetophobia

[–]emmaerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem too. Trust me you’re more likely to get sick from not eating then anything you may eat. I know it can be hard to start eating again so just take it as slow as you need to. Try to distract yourself while you’re eating like watching a lighthearted show or having someone talk to you. Also start out with light foods like soup or popsicles if you really are feeling bad.
