#emetaphobia

mints

ginger / ginger ale

the smell of rubbing alcohol (if u dont have that, u can smell it thru hand sanitizers and some perfumes)

stretching your stomach muscles?? (idk if this is universal but it helps me)

i realize this because i was taken off the pill in highschool after having been on it for two and a half years because it was the cause of the majority of my migraines then (yey sideaffects) 

apparently the muscle memory/lizard brain experience has kicked in once i was sweating and nauseous from the stabbing slices of pain up along the tendons at the nape of my neck into the base of my skull and the expanding pufferfish in my sinuses feeling - the two trademark signs that narrowly precede the vorpal pit that opens up in my left field of vision before my left eye blacks out. 

drank some gatorade, took a mucinex er and tylenol and motrin and went into the bathroom with a warning to my wife: “you’ll hear it if i fall, and maybe check on me if i take more than 45 minutes but otherwise maybe put your headphones on bc i might end up barfing” (it’s a nausea trigger for her and that’s not nice??)

just lit the one candle so i wasn’t totally in the dark and cranked up the shower as high as i could stand and got in and discovered two things?? 1)still have the scalp and facial massage routines memorized that i learned in cosmolab 2) there’s a spot on the nape of my neck about the size of an american dime that’s highly ticklish when i have a migraine which is super new?

anyway my neck is still tense and tight at the base of my skull and the left side of my sinuses feel like a porcipine might be nesting in there but i don’t feel immediately like death (just like R1 hit me in the left side of the face with the 2x4 this time) and i find it neat that all those old habits just fuckin

Omfg

Well I did throw up in the middle of DIA (Denver International Airport) once, like in the main area where people run and hug and greet each other, but I was so sick I literally didn’t gaf.

Second option is probably when my friends had to basically carry me home from the bar and I was dancing but had to hold onto the wall to not fall over.

Idk I’m not big on public embarrassment, I mostly embarrass myself on a really personal level.

So the power went out at my house

Just my house.

For like 2 hours.

I was just sitting in the dark and the cold with 1 candle and a scowl on my face not having a séance no matter what my facebook page says. 

So that got me thinking what are the stripe squads Phobias?

Check below for a part two where I do phobias for the akatsuki members(eventually)

For obvious reasons I’m going to try and tag this but if I miss something let me know  

Hassaku –Nyctophobia, fear of the dark

Hassaku doesn’t like the dark. I know that’s probably a fairly common one and probably a little clichéd. He's a very heavy sleeper but when he was a child he used to suffer from sleep paralysis and night terrors. He's grown out of it now but he still prefers to sleep with his curtains open to let in light from the moon or street lamps.

 Ichirota – Molysmophobia fear of dirt and germs

A fairly obvious one for him since I mentioned how much of a germophobe he was in my head canons for him. Ichirota doesn’t have ocd, there are no compulsions compelling him to have things clean per say. He also doesn’t obsess about it, he only begins to feel fear and anxiety if he's presented with a messy or dirty situation, rather than thinking about it all the time.

Ichirota is totally fine with being in any of the stripe squad’s personal space but as soon as someone has the sniffles he's out the door like a bat out of hell.

Buntan – Tokophobia fear of pregnancy

Buntan is disgusted by the thought of being pregnant. If her time of the month is even 1 day late you will probably find her trash full of negative pregnancy tests. She avoids children like the plague and can usually be found visibly flinching if she hears a screaming baby.

Everything about pregnancy and children scares her: the pain, having a thing growing in you, the responsibility over another little life. Not to mention the horrible memories of her own childhood that this all brings up.

Buntan wouldn’t be a terrible mother, she’d at least be better than her own mom but not by much.

Hebiichigo – Emetaphobia- fear of vomiting

Hebiichigo had stomach flu when she was a child and now as an adult suffers from migraines leading her to feel nauseous whenever she has one. The combination of these two things has lead her to become afraid of even thought of being sick. She panics and freezes if she feels even a little unwell and is totally petrified of the thought of getting food poisioning.In an attempt to help this she is an incredibly picky eater , only having a small range of things she feels safe and comfortable eating.

If she’s feeling brave she may eat something of someone else’s, that why she can be sure that if they don’t get sick she won’t either. 

Kyoho- Cynophobia  fear of dogs

Kyoho isn’t afraid of dogs in the traditional sense. He IS afraid of being bitten because he was pretty small when he was a kid (puberty hit him like a tonne of bricks) but he's more afraid of hurting THEM because of his size. Not a deep seeded fear like some of the others, there’s not a lot that can scare Kyoho to be honest.

Kagura and shizuma fear of losing control

Kagura and shizuma both have the same fear but in differing ways. Kagura fears losing control of himself. Shizuma fears losing control of everything around him.

For kagura he is afraid he will hurt the people around him. It’s a sort of ptsd for him in a sense since he did nearly hurt someone in the past. He knows Yaguras reputation (but not the whole genjutsu story ) so he's always been afraid to turn out like him. I think if he knew the truth his fears would lessen a little but not by much. He knows he's strong and that kind of power with his personality is always going to cause worry for him.

Having constant reassurance from people like chojuro and mei is doing wonders for him but at the end of the day he’ll always be a bit cautious.

Shizuma is nearly the opposite. Where kagura is content to go with the flow and let others make decisions ( thus lessening the pressure on him to get it right) Shizuma needs to have everything just so, exactly and precisely right by his standards. He doesn’t have ocd, I should stress.  He's not anxious and neurotic about things. But when shit hits the fan he gets violent and angry really easily , it’s his way of coping ( so rather than get anxious he gets mad. Will probably still wind up in tears if you push him hard enough)

Most of this I think stems from the fact he never had anyone praise him as a child. Nothing was ever good enough for his parents and now he seems to have gotten it into his head that he can make things “right” (read as: his way) if he maintains enough control over things.
