Against_the_current profile image

I ate and my stomache immediatelly went insane and i'm scared.

P.S. My doc is in my home city. I am terrified. I Wonder whether my mental health is making my physical health bad or vice versa. But i'm terrified

Allow yourself to throw up if you are sick. I am also emotophobic and sometimes just getting it over with helps the most. If I’m feeling sick, I’ll lay down in a cold room next to a trashcan and just wait for my body to do its job. Mint and ice also help if you’re feeling nauseous! Chewing gum has helped me keep down food even when I’m nauseous.
