PTSD related nausea. I don't know how to cope.

Still having my PTSD nausea. I have other PTSD related symptoms, too graphic to mention. I am grateful for all the notes. I have no idea how to cure my nausea. I know it's psychological regarding my bad stomach and fast beating heart etc... too scared to go to doctor. The doctors where I live tend to either accuse patients of faking symptoms in order to get painkillers or they bluntly don't care. Hospital is not worth the time or money even with insurance. I'm documenting what I'm going through so that maybe if anybody else is suffering or has suffered through something similar maybe my writing will help them. The only way I am coping is imagining that the only plus side with my PTSD is that hopefully it may help me lose weight. Anybody is welcome to give advice. Just no insults or sarcasm please.

I get nausea sometimes,

I dunno if mine is solely anxiety related but ginger (usually in sugar free ginger beer) and sometimes salty food (like a ham and cheese toasty) can help ease the nausea,

Not saying it will work for sure, and it won't help the psychological side of things

but just something that's helped me when I feel nausea because stress

It can be a vicious cycle because not eating can also make you feel more nausea and light headed

@Fishy thanks for all your notes so far. I took Bonin half an hour ago. My nausea is 3/4 decreased. I still feel very miserable and helpless. I wrote a full post about what happened and how I developed PTSD. I posted it in the UPDATE section of Similar Worlds.
