Very prone to nausea even without medications, and I have a terrible fear of vomiting. I have been overweight/obese my whole life, how should I go about starting either GLP1 meds and avoid being miserable and anxious about the nausea/vomiting? This is the only thing keeping me back.

As per the title. I have terrible motion sickness on basically anything. I get nausea often from foods too if I ate too much, or if I didn't eat soon enough.

My food noise on its own is not terrible, but the phyiscal symptoms when not eating are (nausea, sweating, feeling dizzy).

I eat lot of carbs (mainly in the format of bread as it's the staple food for me).

I have been on the edge of getting into GLP1 meds for a while, but the idea of being injected then being sick for a whole week sounds like a literal nightmare on earth situation for me.

I have some ondansetron at home, prescribe for my slight emetophobia (I have 2 young kids, so they bring home all kind of nasty bugs, just this year I got 3 GI infections already from them).

Any advice would be very much appriciated!

Wife’s faults getting called out in therapy - she thinks it’s not working

Edit: Just wanted to let you all know that I am grateful for all the comments. I am reading all of them, even I don't comment back. Thank you!

First of all, sorry for posting it here. I know there have been an influx of mainly relationship related posts lately, and it’s not the primary function of this subreddit. But frankly, this is the only space where I feel “safe” so to say.

Anyway, to be as short as possible: my wife (33) and I (34) have been together for 14 years, married for 7, and have 2 kids: daughter (5) and son (2).

We have been having some issues all along our relationship, but the past 2-3 years we started drifting further apart and have been having bigger fights, sometimes in front of the kids (big mistake, I know, but sometimes we get waaaay to heated up, after those rare occasions I always try and reconcile with her in front of the kids too so they see there is a resolution to the conflict).

The main reason for these fights is that I stopped taking the verbal blows and I open my mouth now. This usually just pours fuel on the fire, and fights explode. To be honest, I simply stopped being the people pleaser walk over, as I can feel I have fallen out of love with her.

Anyway, I want to fix it, so we decided to do couples counselling. We have been in it since October 2025, doing it biweekly (1.5 hours every 2 weeks).

Now the problem is the therapists (there are 2 on the sessions) started calling out some of her toxic behaviour: berating me, making a contest out of everything, always having the need to set herself higher than me. Of course we found a good chunk of issues with me too, which I am working on. But now that her actions are being called out, suddenly it’s not working, it doesn’t worth the money or time, etc.

Honestly, the things the therapists are calling her out on are such a breath of fresh air. These are the things that have been driving me nuts for years, and my feelings being validated are just… glorious.

If anybody was in a similar situation, how did you go from here? I want divorce only as a last last last resort, if we can’t make peace, but honestly I am simply not happy. I am doing all the household chores, working full time, and spending afternoons and weekends with the kiddos, but I am still not enough because I am forgetful. (Therapists think I have ADHD and possibly on the spectrum too, which kinda surprised me but explains many things.)
