Every day is a milestone...Winter will turn to spring. I guarnatee it.

This is the hardest time of the year for Emetophobics that live in the Northern Hemisphere.  The combination of darkness and bitter cold is depressing and makes my emetophobia even worse.  The excitement of the holiday season helps me to a point.  But, the heavy foods that accompany the season is a burden on my stomach and my nerves.  

Once the holidays end, the distraction of the glitz and glimmer of tinsel disappears and all I have is 2-3 more months of even colder temperatures accompanied with ice and snow.  That is depressing.  Once mid-February comes around, it starts to get hopeful.  The signs of a longer daylight begin to be noticed and the official start of spring seems to be right around the corner.  Even though some of our worst weather has been in March, psychologically, it doesn't seem so bad. 

And as any emetophobic will tell you, this is a psychololgical condition.  For those suffering with me, try to relax. Keep your mind occupied with hobbies.  Consider every day to be one day closer to flowers blooming.
