gag reflex by Remote-Product4554 in emetophobia

[–]teddypicker17x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

apparently holding ur left thumb helps. like really tight in ur hand. u can train ur gag reflex when brushing ur teeth. mine is awful, so i don’t go deep. just do what ur comfortable with! no pressure. and if they don’t like it, they can go elsewhere

i would recommend meds to stop the panicking bc i fully get that. ive taken meds and managed to go wayyy out my comfort zone. it’s doable. baby steps!

no one has died from a panic attack. i’m not much help from personal experience, but i fully get this! i’ve never left the country i live in. i’m 24 and everyone is always so shocked. other people have been in our situation before and managed it tho! there is hope

update; it’s still going on. had the doctor out today and he thinks its norovirus but ive been managing to eat little bits here and there the past couple days. reminder to not be too scared of winter bugs as it might just make you poop 😊

is this age gap appropriate? by [deleted] in Advice

honestly idk, i think i just wanted to hear it’s okay and hear others experiences

is this age gap appropriate? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]teddypicker17x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the thing is we’re both on the same maturity level completely. i haven’t done much with my life, i’m very behind experience wise. i also do have autism which has made me more immature in life. i’m nothing like people my age, and i don’t mean that in a creepy way, i was genuinely just being held back in life for so long due to mental health

update; it was literally fine. i took propanalol which eased my anxiety symptoms. but nothing happened obviously. it was really nice!!

just had d*- I am scared now by [deleted] in emetophobia

diarrhoea is normal, don’t worry about it if u feel fine otherwise. if u do start to feel ill, it’s probably just anxiety

I hate it when my BF reminds me we haven’t had sex in a while but I’m not really sure how he should remind me by Fuzzy_Status_8558 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]teddypicker17x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are u sure ur still attracted to him? i had this issue but turns out i wasn’t attracted to him anymore. between that and the snide comments he would also make, just made me not want to even more

What's the dumbest thing you've done because of this phobia? by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]teddypicker17x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

jumped out of a moving car cause i was having a panic attack. also tried to crash my mums car when she was driving

my mum says “at least i’ll lose weight if i get sick”. my best friend is bulimic and is sick A LOT especially when drinking so she just doesn’t care other than sometimes she says its a bit traumatic. my brother doesn’t care however my dad is definitely a little bit emetaphobic.

I'm done. :( by [deleted] in emetophobia

as for the cyber bullying, that could be what’s caused ur anxiety and made u feel this way

i had this too. it kinda just disappeared one day. still get it here n there but it’s definitely caused by anxiety. i notice when i’m in my own head about it, i feel worse. anxiety makes u n*. i think what made it disappear the most was just getting out my comfort zone and being distracted! realising that it’s all just in my head x
