I'm sparing you the details but, I tried this morning to throw up. I'm feeling a little dizzy and weak at the moment, but I guess thats anxiety since nothing would come up. The truth is that most of my IBS attacks are MUCH more uncomfortable than what I just put myself through. I felt the fear and anxiety but it faded quicker than I expected. I may have to try again another day, but it was a big step for now. I'm feeling equal parts stronger and shaken up. Stomach feels a bit shaken up too.

Emetophobe or not, I had to read it Hawkeye. This is a very big step for you and whether or not you succeeded is irrelevant. You have done wonderfully my friend and come a very long way through a difficult journey!
HUGS!!

Wow!! Good for you, hawkeye!!!
Facing our fears is probably the single hardest thing for any of us to do. To tackle them head on and stare them down is a great accomplishment and one for which you can be proud.
I'm happy for ya.

Hey ...why are you trying to throw up?
I haven't thrown up in 15 years..and that was because I drank too much.Before that it was at least five years and it was alas also because I drank too much.(Peach schapps is my enemy!!)
I don't have a fear of throwing up I just will myself not too.
Good luck to you though
