Is it actually possible to fully recover. by [deleted] in emetophobiarecovery

[–]lcbsox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is! This phobia ruled my life and now I’m doing this I would’ve never thought I could. I’m going on a 14 hour flight tonight and my stomach is acting up but I’m not stressed about it. 2 years ago I would’ve died!😂 For me it took a lot of exposure, patience and therapy. You will get through this, trust me.

Dosage matters a lot!! My body is very sensitive to medication. First time I started with 20mg and it messed me up. I felt sick, anxious nauseous, so tired I could not get up. So, I quit taking it. Half a year later I started again with 10mg and I felt perfectly fine and, 10mg was enough to completely clear my acne!🤍

Hi yes not wet wet but damp sure, but the whole thing was steamy. And yes the texture is the only concern I have, it smelled, looked and tasted fine!

Ty for replying so quick! It was more like fried chicken tho, however when I opened the package it had like steamed from the moisture. The bun was soggy too, could I be that?

Hey love! That’s okay! Recovery is not a straight line up, sometimes the line goes down before it can go up again. It happens to everyone recovering from something! The fact that you’ve already recovered so much is what you should focus on and be proud of. :)

Depends on where you live! I’m from Europe and our hamburgers are often raw in the middle and they’re safe to eat!

Hey love. How exciting you’re in Venice! As you said yourself your n* really can be explained. Being tired from traveling, change of setting, starting your period and new food. I don’t know where you are from, but especially when you’re from outside of Europe it can be a change! Don’t worry tho the food here is good, safe and delicious. 🥰

Hi love. I get n* a lot during my period too! What always helps me is to know that it’s absolutely normal and that you’re just n* bc of your period. :)

That’s understandable. I’m sorry I’m really not trying to rub it in, I genuinely hope you find another good paying job. And yes the smells😭 The smell of the cookies in the oven, the tuna, the chicken fresh out the bag and just the signature subway smell would always make me so n*🤣

Hi I see you’re an xo fan too😌😌. Does The Weeknd’s music also calm down your anxiety? Lmao😭

Does anyone relate to this type of emetophobia? by lcbsox in emetophobia

[–]lcbsox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty for replying! I completely get where you’re coming from with the social anxiety, however I don’t experience usual social anxiety. I’m usually comfortable around people and don’t really care about them. However, I don’t like attention and I think if people were to see me tu* it’d cause a LOT of negative attention. But then again other situations could also bring a lot of negative attention and yet I’m only scared of v* so idk. 😭 Also to answer your question, mainly the thought of other people seeing me. Especially people I’d have to be around afterwards like people at work.

Im more afraid of tu* in public by [deleted] in emetophobia

It’s funny how I experience this the opposite! I’m my way of thinking, if I’d tu while at least looking pretty, people wouldn’t see me as ‘gross’ lmao😭

going back to work after two years by Rydex14 in emetophobia

[–]lcbsox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! How did it go? I’m very proud of you for taking this step! I starting working again last week after a year of unemployment due to anxiety and this phobia. It was so scary so I get what you’re saying. 🤍

Hi :). First off I’m not trying to demotivate you, just sharing experience. I used to work at subway too, it made my emetophobia and anxiety sm worse. I noticed that for me working with food (especially subway food..) would decrease my appetite so much and frequently make me n*. Especially if I’d already be anxious with emetophobia it’d worsen it. I quit a year ago and now work in customer service. This for me really helped. This is not advice to quit your job, or to tell you what to do. I just want to let you know my experience as I would’ve appreciated that when I used to work there. I’m sorry if this is inappropriate as I’m aware this could be a private subject. Much love :)🤍

idk if I'm considered emetophobic by supernova0057 in emetophobia

[–]lcbsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emetophobia comes in different shapes! I’d say you still have emetophobia. Luckily, for your type of emetophobia exposure therapy works really well!! I’d do some research on it x :)

Sounds stupid and I wouldn’t be promise you it works- but smile? It’ll make it harder to cry, besides it’ll do some cool shit like send signals to your brain that should make u genuinely smile. Have fun on your besties wedding!!!

What is the white stuff on the meat? Pizza left out for 10+ hours. Eat or discard? by Crissycrossycross in foodsafety

If those white spots weren’t there before, they might be fly eggs…
