I know it's weird but I am legitimately horrified of throwing up. It's called emetophobia. :/

@astrosandorbits lmao I have a bad stomach and I usually beg it to throw up

@Nanori lol I wish I could simply just get over this phobia, but part of the problem is I've barely ever thrown up my whole life. I went like 20 years without doing it... and I don't remember it well enough to remember how bad or not bad it was :/

@astrosandorbits I'm jealous T_T

@Nanori ugh I wish I could see it that way. If I could just do it again I would get over it i think. But oh well. Maybe I should be more clear in saying is isn't the actual act of throwing up that horrifies me so much as it is all the nausea and anticipation leading up to it.

@astrosandorbits Same.. I have altoids everywhere b/c they usually calm nausea for me. I take nausea meds too to avoid it.

@MellyMel22 thanks ill have to remember altoids next time I get nausea (which has been such an infrequent occurrence in my life). It's weird though because I have crohn's disease and am constantly having stomach and bowel pain but never full blown nausea lol. It's just nice knowing someone else feels the same way

@astrosandorbits Sorry to hear that. Glad you don’t have to deal w/nausea much. My best friend has it and was in bad shape last year.

It’s the original strong ones, not the little box.. I get daily migraines and often nausea comes with them(for me). Certain foods also make me nauseous. But the altoids thankfully curb it.

@MellyMel22 it's rough.
Thanks for the help. Sorry to hear about your friend :( and your migraines. Hope it improves for you both.
