Times when emet didn’t apply

[x hannah x]

I was just thinking back to when I was about 8 and I had to go to hospital for an operation and afterwards I had to sit in a recovery room and everyone was v*ing because of the ana- I'm not even going to try. Lets call them them-drugs-what-makes-u-go-to-sleep and I remember saying to my mum very calmly, lets get a bowl just in case, but I gave my bowl to another girl who was being sick, again no panic although I did refuse to eat because I didn't want to v*, but that was more a common sense thing to my eight year old brain "These kids have eaten, they are being sick, I have not eaten, I am not. I don't want to eat yet." I definitely had emet at that age because I remember other incidents before that. Does anyone remember times like that?

That is sometimes how I judge if I am really sick or not. The last time I was sick with a sv, I remember thinking "I don't care if I v* because it will make me feel better." I think when you know you might need to in order to feel better, your body overrides the panic.

Why can't it do that all the time then?

I remember my emet and panic attacks started in third grade but I remember in 4th grade having 2 sv's and not freaking out. Weird. I remember laying on the couch and casually getting up to v*. Today I would be going mad!

I remember when I was little having this one REALLY bad stomach virus and I would get up and go V* and come back and feel fine. I didn't panic or anything. I was like V*ing all day and I didn't panic at all. Then my mom gave me an Anti-Emetic and I didn't V* for the rest of the day or the night. But back then I only freaked out if OTHERS V*ed not me...now it's just me...well pretty much just me. I've been getting better when it comes to others doing it.

I remember the same thing, when I was about 11, getting a stomach virus and getting up in the middle of the night and not even caring. No panicing or anything, just a sense of annoyance that I could not sleep cuz I had to keep getting up to throw up. I wonder if now, if I was to get one, if it would be the same, or would I just panic like crazy?

I remember as far back as four years old. I was not very paranoid but I remember that I always felt sick after eating and when I did feel sick, I'd moan and keep my mouth shut and I would not tell my parents. Also I remember when my mom was sick once because her stomach is sensitive to really spicy foods, I crawled under the blankets and would not come out. I told my dad "I dont want Mommy" I think I was around 6 years old.
