trying to not let this ruin my family visit

i never used to be this anxious about throwing up, and i almost never did in the first place. but then 3-ish years ago i was working at a really unhygienic restaurant. got several horrific instances of food poisoning. and since then i’ve been having category 5 Nausea Events every couple months or so and, to be honest, this summer it’s taken over my life. i’m constantly feeling unwell and on edge.

once or twice a year i go home to visit my parents. the past two times i’ve done so, i’ve had awful experiences. last time i had some stomach bug on new years eve where i threw up like 15 times. the time before that, i got the worst motion sickness of my life from the train ride.

i’m planning another visit home but to be honest it’s already making me nervous :( i’ve been having awful stress-related acid reflux for 2 months now where i struggle to eat normal food without feeling nauseous…. i’m miserable already, and going back to the place where i was most recently triggered is really not helping. i’m spiraling really hard and it’s scaring me :(((( i don’t want to do anything anymore

would anybody want my old imac and wacom tablet?

i don’t use them anymore, and i’m moving apartments so looking to downsize my stuff. the computer is a 2015 imac, 21.5 inches. the tablet is an wacom intuos pro from around the same time. they are very well loved (stickers on the mac that i can try to peel off, and visible wear), so if no one has interest in them i will gladly recycle them at staples! but they’re both still functional and i’ve wiped the computer, so i figured can’t hurt to ask.
thanks!
