Hiya everyone. It's late and I can not sleep, as usual. Anyways, I was wondering how many of you agree that v* is a mind over matter thing? Do you actually think if you really talk yourself out of it and concentrate very hard when you feel so ill that you can stop the process? I mean, I was just asking to see if anyone thinks this or actually has done it? I believe I have done it a number of times. When I had gotten s/v I would only get d* and not v*. I would tell people how sick I was and they would tell me they had the same thing and they were throwing up so much. One time, I was actually around someone 2 days before we both feel ill so apparently he got it from me or I got it from him. Anyhow, he told me after we both got better that he threw up on and off for days. He thought he was better only to get sick again. My sickness was the same way. I would feel better only to feel sick as a dog again. Same pattern but the only difference was I didn't throw up. I was sooo soo sick and had to throw up so bad but I just did not allow myself. So my question to you is, do you think this is possible and do you believe you can actually control it? Agh, I sound like such a weirdo but this gives me hope that maybe I can continue to do this when I get some sort of s/v. So, what do you think?
