Re: Constantly feeling sick it seems like
If the zofran isn't helping thats how you know. I used to pop zofran like crazy and sometimes it did help (like with an ibs flare up or PMS nausea) but a lot of the time, nothing. And that's when I realized it's all just in my head so to speak. I totally get your struggle. I don't think I go a day without feeling "sick" and it's truly frustrating. But like afdpt said, sometime you just need to sit yourself down and be honest with yourself. YES you (and all of us) MIGHT throw up someday, and probably will. BUT we feel sick every single day, we worry every single day and we are NOT going to throw up even close to every single day! lol We waste so much time and energy and emotion on something that rarely even happens.
I recently decided enough was enough. I am in therapy and today I took the first dose of medication. A pill that I had been given a month ago and was just going to not take and lie to my doctor saying it made me sick and that medication just wasn't for me. But that's not fair to me or the people trying to help me. I feel very anxious having taken it, I felt nauseated the second i swallowed it. And you know what I MIGHT get sick, but those odds are so low. And I sure as hell am not going to let my own mind make me sick (which we tend to do a lot). So I am going to think positive and be positive and hope for the best
You have to do the same. Be real with yourself, be honest with yourself. It takes hard work, it is not easy. Some days will be better than others but we can overcome. Kids get sick,pets get sicks, we all get sick. But in the grand scheme of things, it's so small. Think of all the great memories and things that lie ahead of you. Those are the things to focus on, not getting sick.
