Drunken vomit follows me

[thedeecee]

Hi. This is my 1st ever entry. I'm so delighted to have found others like me-what a relief.


Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else out there has this problem. I love going out with friends, but am overly conscious of drunk people around me, fearing, no dreading that they will puke.


Not only that, but even on those rare occasions when I'm not thinking about someone else puking and I'm not observing everyone around me, then it is even more likely to happen. Even my friends are amazed at how someone always seems to puke near us when they're out with me! Is this just because I live in Ireland (joke) or is it the same for anyone else?


I gave up drink a few years ago and hate alcohol now and the way it affects people. This is a real problem seeing as I live in a country that is renound for drinking!!


Help!

I do no think that you are the one causing all the people around you to puke, so don't think that you are a jinx. I think that the situation that you're describing is going to always end up with someone around you getting sick. You enjoy going out with your friends, and that's a good sign, that you still go out with your friends even though someone is always getting ill. This phobia hasn't taken TOTAL control of your life. You can also breathe a sigh of relief that the reason the people are getting sick is because they drank to much, not because they have a stomach virus. That's probably the biggest fear with people on this site is that if someone gets ill next to them is it because of a virus??!! I understand also about how you gave up drinking because of the effect it has on people. I never really enjoyed college as my friends did because of the fear of getting sick from it. I used to see my roommates come home and puke all night and that to me was so sickining to watch that I couldn't imagine anything being that worth it. If the puking people from to much alcohol really has you upset, I would go out with your friends to do other things, like go to the movies or something. Go out where alcohol isn't the main attraction (even in ireland i'm sure you can find something non-alcoholic to do.)

I sometimes think vomiting people seem to haunt me, lol! Like you one of my friends has even commented on how I seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time a lot - he said maybe it is my life's test to have to keep facing it!


Thinking about it rationally though, I don't think we are confronted with it any more than others, it's just that we notice it more. And if friends are out with us they might be more aware of pukey people because they know one of their friends is highly disturbed by it. If we weren't out with them they'd probably see it and think nothing more of it, so forget all about it.


Welcome to the group, by the way! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

oooooooh ireland is the best place ever!!!!


ew i just realized when i read your post that i had a dream that oe of my friends got so drunk and v* on me... ewww





and i dont thinka that this is happening to you because of where you live it happens here too. i would think it happens less in ireland because people drink so much ... so they can handle more. i dot know might just be a sterotype. i love ireland though - you live in one of the most beautiful countries ever!
