I struggle with this ALOT, especially because I have a intestinal disorder that causes chronic nausea and severe stomach pain so much that I could end up sick if I didn’t do that same thing, constantly using meditation and YouTube frequencies, Tea, and a high dependency on Zofran. It feels like you are in a life or death situation, constantly in panic over the fact it COULD happen. But what helps me, is thinking about how many times I’ve felt similar but didn’t get sick, and how I’ve gotten this far feeling so sick but because I haven’t yet it probably means I won’t, especially in the case of stomach bugs. Some people don’t experience getting sick, only the rising nausea which is still awful but if you haven’t gotten sick you most likely won’t! Continue trying to reassure and comfort yourself, the more anxiety brings more nausea and sickness and that could make the situation far worse and make them lingering doom feeling worse as well because you are in constant expectance of something bad happening. Just assure yourself you are safe, you will get through this because it is never permanent and will certainly pass. You got this <4
