LOL at the different flavour of juice! That’s pretty funny, and yes, definitely a good thing you didn’t send in a complaint…even though it might have got you some freebies!

There are days when I could have written (most of) this post pretty much word for word. Chronic diseases = suck. :/
I hope you feel less crap soon.

Pretty! I think it suits you, even if the process to get it there does sound like it was dramatic (and video worthy!)

Reading this article really made me feel better about myself

I started developing this fear after I was forced to take bus rides with a girl with a severe case of motion sickness everyday for a whole year. I get extremely alert and wary of her whenever she was seated beside me and when she does …, I get really angry at her and don’t care to hide my disgust at all.

It got so much stronger when a little girl sitting beside me in the bus got sick. I reacted really irrationally and jumped over the … and ended up spraining my ankle. For some reason, I am very alert when it comes to noticing signs of people being sick so I knew she was gonna explode soon. Afterwards, I refused to sit beside her much to the annoyance of many people. And I felt really self-conscious and angry at everyone around me for not understanding. I avoid taking transport that have a history of throw-uppers for months and years, I also avoid going to or stepping on places where people have … before.

I used to enjoy plane trips but my recent trip to Australia was a nightmare. Kids around me were throwing up, person beside me was gagging and a sickly old man was coughing really disgustingly. The worst thing was that my family was sort of laughing at my disgust. Afterwards, I decided that I officially hated plane trips and travelling. I was so paranoid about people who get airsick and whether or not someone had … on my seat before. It was really bad and I began developing trouble eating in public places. I feel full after 3 bites and just stop eating for fear of feeling full.

I can’t say my fear has hindered with my life much but many people around me think I’m weird for not accepting invitations to lunch dates or party/drinking events.
