Do you have fb/ is your newsfeed blowing up as well about the verdict? One of my friends was actually there in the theater during the shooting and actually looked Holmes in the eyes. She says she doesn’t know how she wasn’t shot. She’s been pretty on edge about this whole thing. I can’t say I’m opposed to the death…

Lol Kailyn worked as a dental hygienist for awhile, Jenelle just did a promo at a strip club and I can 100% see her going that route when the MTV cash flow stops, and I’d bet a lot of money Chelsea will be on the PTA. Spot on analysis, haha.

No, they are rich. Jim Bob has made/ continues to make plenty of money in real estate. That plus the show money and all their other means of income mean those kids will be ok financially if not psychologically.

EXACTLY! My husband is an ASE re-cert Master Tech and this mindset drives me insane. There’s a lot more to wrenching than a mechanic showing up and putting in physical labor.

As a purveyor of hockey fights I can attest to their brutality. Those dudes straight up get their faces split open, and then they just get stitches on the bench and are good to go!

Oh man I have to leave theaters during puking scenes. It’s just too much for me! When I was in high school I really wanted to watch the Jackass movie but I knew there would be puking so I had my friend on the phone watching it a few minutes ahead to warn me. Stomach bugs are and have always been my #1 parenting fear…

Whoohoo for you! It really is so scary, I can’t explain it!

I really do need to look into some CBT or something but for now I am seeing a psychiatrist and medication has helped a bit!

If it’s my husband throwing up I literally have to leave the house and stay with my parents for awhile, but if it’s my daughter I’m strangely ok- just scared I’m going to catch it myself. Funnily enough the last time she was sick I literally put out my hands for her to avoid a mess and my husband jumped up and ran out…

I mean I truly cannot think of anything more horrible. Growing up my mom kept a bottle of ipecac in the house and when I found out what it was I had to throw it away immediately!

I never wanted kids either (my daughter was a... surprise lol) and I was really sick during my pregnancy which meant I literally lived in bed/ the bathroom for all 9 months and loaded up on prescription nausea meds. Her being sick doesn’t affect me as much as my fear of getting it. I hate it! Now after my surgery I…

Emetephobia is actually one of the most common phobias! There’s lots of great online support, but unfortunately most of it is for adults. The only thing that’s really played a major part in how good/ bad I feel is anti-depressants. When one is working well my phobia can slide to the backburner, but if it’s not working…

It’s funny you mention you usually panic after the fact because I definitely panic way more before the fact! Either while I am naseous and about to throw up, or when I know someone else is nauseous and might throw up. Every single time after it happens I go “that wasn’t so bad, I don’t know why I’m so afraid of this”…

Wow that’s really shitty that people do that! When I was in high school my mom tried to tell me that “exposure therapy” would be good for my phobia, and whether that included forcing me to throw up or forcing me to watch other people throw up I don’t know but I said HELL NO.

I am the same way!!! I have to amp myself up for a good 10 minutes before I make a call, and usually I burst into tears at least once. I’ve had a few times where I’ve dialed and then panic hung-up when someone answered the phone. It’s awful! My husband used to tease me mercilessly about not being able to call to order…

Phobias can be so embaressing because to most people they are completely irrational, and yet there’s nothing you can do about them! I hope you don’t live somewhere that is too stormy!

Oh my gosh that is awful! I too was really scared to learn how to drive and didn’t get my license until I was 17 (and my parents had put me in an intensive driving school!) I also got in an accident because of road conditions (ice) and slammed head-on into another car. It was awful! I refuse to drive places when it…

That is rough! There’s nothing worse than when your mental illness makes you incapable of parenting. It is embaressing to us, but we just have to remember that we’re doing our best! I’m glad you have friends who are able to help you out!

Wow I’ve never heard of that! I’m really sorry you have to go through all that, big groups of teens are something you must encounter constantly! I’m glad you’re able to shut yourself away to try and recover. I can’t imagine how terrifying that would be!

Oh man that really sucks you have to fly all the time when you have a phobia of it! You’re so right that it never does get easier. For some reason dealing with my daughter when she’s sick is no big deal but if my husband gets sick I take my daughter to my parents house to stay! Part of the problem is that we have one…
