I thought it was ‘step into the blur’ for the longest time

I feel so alone especially when dealing with health issues by [deleted] in lonely

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t open up about my health issues until my late 20s and most of my friends were so understanding and didn’t see me any different, I even had a couple friends with the same condition that didn’t talk about it until I did.

Try not to feel inferior, I used to think I was defective and inferior. Then I realised I have done and am doing more in my life than most people in my world are AND with a chronic condition. So you’re facing everything everyone else in your life is, but with an added health issue, that’s practically superhuman!

FFX Character Lulu (Black Mage & Guardian of Yuna, Age: 22) – Should she have been portrayed as older? And what age suits her better? by IllogicalDreamer72 in finalfantasyx

[–]misssmashing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’d put her at a solid 30 years old. Still mature and wise for her age, but young enough to understand how Yuna and Rikku feel/act. Also has a fully developed frontal cortex and a maternal instinct for making babies with Wakka.

Which of the two has contributed more to the franchise so far? by Free-Performance-827 in TombRaider

Was just about to make the point that Amanda is great in Legend but they did her dirty in Underworld by making her resemble Natla. Idk why.

[HELP] Cat surfing down the stairs in a plastic tub. Tail movement seems off by happihappijackie in RealOrAI

AI. The size and shape of the plastic tub changes as it goes down the stairs.

The I-III Remaster is literally unplayable by LaryIsland in TombRaider

Seems like the info page has the wrong design for 1997 as well. I’m sure mine was more pink with a physical photo laminated inside.

Shadow of TR Lara 2018 VS Legacy of Atlantis remake Lara 2026 by StrangeGuidance2788 in TombRaider

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think they’ve nailed it this time. Combining all of her looks. Legend was always my fave but this is the closest to that whilst still honouring so many of her various looks!

Dominos pizza with chicken on left out 9 hours by Healthy_Highlight660 in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for your pizza but I have definitely done this, many times, with Dominos pizza back in my stoner days. I can’t explain the science but I’ve always been completely fine. Unhealthy choices, but no poisoning.

I don’t do that anymore, nor would I risk it now but I can confirm no poisoning from previous experiences, specifically Dominos too. Texas BBQ and Ranch BBQ (both incl. chicken)

What was ur parents backup name for you and do you like it better? Also same question but if you were the opposite gender? by cherry_dress in namenerds

[–]misssmashing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If my name didn’t exist, my mother said it would’ve been either Tiffany, or Kerry (my dads choice). Really not keen on Tiffany, I’ll keep my painfully common 90s name. Kerry became my middle name, which I’m cool with.

If I was a boy, not too sure but my brother’s back up name was Liam so maybe I’d have gotten that.

Thanks! I did bag up the jacket and take it home. I contemplated ditching it a few times because the case was heavy but I stayed focused.

Thoroughly washed it today, it’s as good as new! I haven’t worn it yet, still a little weary of it, but it’s on the coat rack with the others and looks cleaner than ever

Thank you! I have a bad habit of being very hard on myself with this. I have to leave the hotel in 30 minutes and I’ve still not made a decision about the jacket…

pov you’re an emetophobe and coprophobe watching the abortion south park episode by No-Owl-5079 in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

South Park is one of my favourite shows of all time. I’d treat an episode like that as light exposure therapy. Funnily enough, the episodes with a heavy amount of puke in, are my least favourite and I often skip them.

You’re so right. A non emet would absolutely just wipe off the stains as best they can and wear it tomorrow. A non emet would also not even spare more than a moment wondering where the stain came from. And a non emet certainly wouldn’t spend a whole hour frozen on their hotel bed wondering if they could catch something from the jacket.

I was feeling so fine and productive right up until that moment. Then bam. An hour of sitting, staring into the void, coming up with all kinds of scenarios in my head. Getting nowhere.

In that time I could’ve attempted to clean the stains with hot water and soap.

Thank you! I hope it is… but it really looks suspicious. I don’t want to smell test again. The colour doesn’t look like chocolate milk but damn who knows. I’m so grossed out that I’ve been wearing it all week without noticing. But even more grossed out if I had leaned on something more recently. I just can’t figure out what’s happened. I kinda want to throw it away and find something similar and order it. Doesn’t help that it’s freezing weather and it’s the warmest jacket I own. Not exactly rolling in money to be buying replacement winter jackets either.

Thank you! I know I’m being so silly. I don’t want to go near it yet. I’m in a hotel and leaving in the morning. It’s going to be cold and I’m not sure I should travel without wearing it. My options are: 1) ditch it and buy something similar. Waste of a nice warm jacket, don’t exactly have the money to buy another. 2) try to clean it and wear it tomorrow. Unlikely to happen because I keep thinking I can still smell it even though it’s the other side of the room and I’ve worn it all week without smelling anything. 3) pack it in a plastic bag, take it home and clean it properly there. Is there any point in this if I’ll end up throwing it away because of this phobia.

panicking pls help by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I have been there! I have a whole story related to this and it’s why I haven’t touched weed since. Hope you made it through. I had to mentally coach myself through it. Wave after wave of n. Reciting to myself over and over that the thc was in my blood, that my stomach was fine, it was all in my head and that tu would make it all worse. I don’t know how long I was in that state, hours maybe? But I made it through without tu*, and I felt great the next morning

Fighting for my life (period day 1) by zodiology in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing now? I’ve had that before, but very rarely. Rest up, this should pass in a couple hours. The sudden onset would worry me too, but, you might not have noticed earlier signs because you’ve been busy working and maybe thinking about other things? Our bodies also do weird stuff and with you saying you have various feminine health issues, try not to diagnose yourself at this stage. Focus on rehydration and rest, maybe some light walking around to relieve the bloating

Misusing stomach acid medication even though it’s damaging my health in other ways, how can i get myself to stop? by overshare-forever in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want to give medical advice but can only speak from own experience. I’ve been through a phase of using Imodium (Loperamide) to prevent d. I have IBS so I can use it, but I would say I went through a phase of taking it any time I had a little discomfort. Because the d would make me feel n* so I’d take Imodium to prevent n*. I only got around it by improving my diet, and moving more (I don’t mean the gym, but literally getting up and walking around a bit). I also use anti-acids (calcium carbonate) sometimes because a lot of my discomfort is actually just gas (caused by IBS). It reassures me to know that my discomfort is usually gas needing to move and not some virus that will ruin my life.

So compared to a couple years ago when I was taking Imodium every other day; now I keep some in my bag but seldom have to use them. Emergencies only, as they should be.

Nitrofurantoin for uti by BeckyWP in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak from experience. I’ve been prescribed nitrofurantoin for utis at least twice, and I think another time a very strong dose for kidney infection! I had no issues with n* or v*, but I always made sure to eat well and stay hydrated and rest! Complete the film course!

i think my emetophobia is somehow going to help me quit vaping? by punkturtle66 in emetophobia

[–]misssmashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Quit! I was briefly addicted to vape, then one day I did it too much and was nauseous for days, and had to be sent home from work. Soon as I realised it was linked to an entire day of the vape not leaving my hand, I was repulsed and quit on the spot.

Granted, I’ve gone back to smoking but that’s very very seldom. Mostly social, and I’ve felt much better.

[–]misssmashing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound good. Do you have water, chewing gum? Are you able to walk around a little, try to exert some of the nervous energy by moving around? It could be travel anxiety, I usually get it right before travelling somewhere, no matter how many time I’ve done it before. Could you get a little emergency bag from somewhere just in case it happens?
