I don't think I've posted in a long time, I've been so busy and to be honest my emet has in some ways been a lot better, I still come on here pretty much every day to read things though. I have just completed my first term of teaching and Im reallyenjoying it. When I left university in June I was so unsure if i could cope working in a schooland nearly dropped off my training course before it had even started. Im so glad I didn't. I havehad a couple of emet moments at school. mainly when i have felt a little 'off' and felt trapped as I coudn't just leave the children.


I've improved in other ways too, I eat out quite a lot now and don't worry as much. I still feel n* most nights but I think it may be something like indigestion so I'm going to try something for that and see how i get on.


I'm so pleased i managed to get this far. I have wanted to be a teacher as long as i can remember and emet threatened to ruin that. I'm now 21 and am starting on my career and hopingto buy a house with my boyfriend next year.


I have this week off as holiday (well apart from doing my essay!) and I am meeting a friend in an hour to catch a train, go shopping, eat lunch in pizzahut and go to the libraryto do some work, I would never been able to do thatsix months ago. This is partly due to my incredibly supportive bf and the fact im so determined i wont let emet ruin my life, he is also helping me to beat my fear of dogs.


I don't know why I posted this, Im just so happy at the moment and I can't tell anyone else as they don't understand why, as most don't know i have emet. I also wanted to say to anyone at the moment who i contemplating going to college or changing jobs and is worried, just go for it. I went to university and just took each day at a time, I knew that i wasn't bound to it and if it all got too much I could leave, I ended up staying all 3 years living in halls of residence with lots of other people. With the training course I am doing now i also didint want to go on the first day, but i went knowing once again i could leave if i needed to. I still have 8 months to go, but i've got through the first 7 weeks.


Anyways, I hope everyone else is well, and if like me you have a week off school/college or work, enjoy it!
