    Okay I'm posting a lot today but I wanted to know something from all of you. Would you rather be alone and v or have somebody there with you?


    The other night I almost v-ed. It was coming into my throat and I gagged a little, but I made it through that part. I just knew I was going to v so I cranked up the TV and turned the AC on and turned on some music. I wanted noise to hide the noise of me v-ing, if it happened.My brother was in his room which is right across from mine and he is the type of person who comes running in to see if you're okay when you're sick so I didn't want him in there. I don't want people to see me sick or to hear that I'm sick because I'd feel embarassed if they saw me like that. I can't explain it. Maybe it's because when I was sick in a public eventtons ofpeople saw me v-ing and that was embarassing. Think thats why?But whenever I feel sick I want to be alone and when I think v is going to happen I lock myself in a room (usually my own) so I'm away from people and I add some background noise and pace the room and pray that it doesnt happen. Does anyone else get like this or do you want someone to be there with you when you think you're going to be sick?

    I hate to be with anyone if im gonna v*. Ive even told my boyfriend that if he hears me v*ing not to come and see if im ok!!! I just want to be completely alone. I think it is an embarrassment thing for me too... although ive never v*et in public or anything before. But im afraid i might v* in public which is prob why im agorophobic!


    I just dont want anyone to bother me when i have to do it or if i feel really nauseas i want to be alone too.

    Um.... if I'd do that, the only people I'd like to help me and maybe be with me when I do it are my parents and maybe some other adults. If someone does it in school, in the past, like in 5th grade, they would all laugh at the person that was vomiting. I remember this when a boy in my class went outside to do it and almost everyone in the class was laughing, but I wasn't. So.... I wouldn't want to vomit at school, but I really don't know if they would laugh because the people that laughed then are a little older now and may be more mature.

    I think I am weird because if I feel sick, I do NOT want to be alone! I actually prefer going out and doing stuff and talking to people to get my mind off it! And, if I am home alone and feel sick, I call someone!! I live alone,too, that's why I love the computer to chat with someone who actually understands instead of calling people who don't get it!

    I want someone with me when I don't feel well, but if they are smothering me then I need space....I need both at the same time

    I'd want to be by myself. I dont like it when people are around. In fact i think its because i dont like people around when i do that started the whole thing..well that's a different story...anyway i dont like people to even know when i do either. Ifpeoplewere around i'dfeel embarassedand like a burden to them.

    Yeah, I don't like people to see me get sick. I don't want them to even know that I feel sick. There's never really been a time that I've told someone that I felt sick before I've thrown up. At school I'd hate for someone to see/hear me get sick, but at the same time I'd hate for them to see me running to the bathroom...

    I would much rather be alone. I would hate it if someone saw me get sick. Esspecially if it wasnt in the toillet O.O its kinda like I dont want people to see me out of control. I guess thats why Im so much more nervous in public

    I agree with Eternity, i would want to be alone during, but i would want someone close by to help and calm me down afterwards, i would be a real emotional mess after, hypoventalating and everything else... shocking....

    After most v-ing a child runs to her parents. I can't do that with my mother because she is so disrespectful when it comes to my fears. I'd be left to face it alone. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

    I like to be alone when im feeling ill, but if I ever feel like I really am going to be sick then I call my parents so they r with me. I could only let a "safe" person see me vomit. Vomiting in public would be terribly embarressing for me.

    If I feel really. really sick I don't tell my boyfried (for fear that it might jinx me and then it will come up) but once when I thought I was going to be sick in the middle of the night I woke him up and told him. He was great, took me downstairs and made me watch some TV until the nausea went away. As I haven't actually vomitted for years I'm not sure which I'd prefer. I definately wouldn't want it to happen in public because I'd probably be hysterical and embarrass myself.
