I remember being so dissapointed because (at the time) I thought that you were making it up and that you just didn't want me over. I had NO idea.

So did the spaghetti and sauce that somehow ended up INSIDE the cupboard in the hall where the aforementioned incident happened. And the doors were shut tight too -- that was some powerful food poisoning! Anyway -- since you have survived some throwing up yourself now you can stop worrying about it -- we do survive!crthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962748323331828969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439274167258781832.post-63896646236659154812011-06-06T15:38:13.621-07:002011-06-06T15:38:13.621-07:00That is so interesting to read and so good to lear...That is so interesting to read and so good to learn more about the fear/control relationship (a few nephews with OCD).<br />Reading this totally brought back memories of my grade 7 year. I had high anxiety that year about throwing up at school (when I was anxious my stomach would flip too). Anyway, I saw a counsellor and finally realized that worst case scenario was that I would throw up at school but it would be okay and life would carry on! I finally let go of the control my fear of throwing up had over me and it wasn't an issue after that year. Funny how we had the same fear! Thanks for sharing.

Better...not good.<br /><br />No one really like barf though. Really.<br /><br />It's nice to know I'm not the only one. :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734177506438734993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439274167258781832.post-78270635632565137122011-06-06T14:42:42.765-07:002011-06-06T14:42:42.765-07:00Huh....I feel the same way about barfing. Even no...Huh....I feel the same way about barfing. Even now when my kids throw up....I immediately start thinking I am going to get sick too and it terrifies me and I stop eating because I don't want to throw anything up. That is how I lost 16 lbs since March because our household got the stomach flu twice and I didn't want to barf so I stopped eating for nearly a week both times. Why does vomiting terrify me so? I am so mental about it and I really don't need to be. Some of my worst memories are of people that vomited in front of me. Do I need help?Kristen and Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079551160818134084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439274167258781832.post-50820344532858294882011-06-06T12:11:14.901-07:002011-06-06T12:11:14.901-07:00Interesting...

It's good to know that someone else who I love and admire might actually understand my personal brand of crazy.

IT is called Kissing doorknobs. It is an easy read and has to do with OCD.
