A swallow

I have officially thrown up a few times since May because I’ve been dealing with migraines. I’m not scared of throwing up anymore I got over that fear but it’s sitting with the nausea that gives me a panic attack.
I try sipping cold water and taking slow, calming breaths. It helps a little, but I still panic. Being able to actually throw up without almost passing out from anxiety is probably the biggest accomplishment I’ve ever had.
What works best for you guys when you’re feeling nauseous? I’m trying to get over that fear too!

Today I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach and nauseous all day, fighting to keep it down so I wouldn’t throw up. I finally threw up after avoiding it for over a decade! And I’ll say now it wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be. It was quick, painless, and I didn’t choke or feel severe pain like my brain had been telling me over the years. I can say now that I feel way better, and I’m less scared of this phobia! Throwing up has definitely helped me lessen my fear and it’s the one exposure experience I needed.
