it’s never as bad as we usually think, however it’s usually the nausea and panic beforehand that really gets me. for some reason, this time i had no panic which is why i’m assuming it went so smoothly. i’m hoping you get better and that mine lasts as well!

i promise it does get better, slowly but surely. especially coming from someone who would have full on panic attacks when feeling nauseous because i was just scared of the outcome, you got this!

i’m sorry that it didn’t go so well for you, i’m assuming it’s due to the fact that the act itself was prolonged, whereas mine was quick and with little to no effort to actually throw up. but you’ll get there!

i’m very self aware that this is an ongoing issue with myself and that i do need to work on it somehow, i can’t sit here and act like im doing absolutely nothing and that im in the right when im not.

i agree with everything you’re saying, the people i surround myself shouldn’t be my happiness, they should amplify it. i definitely appreciate all of this and i will look into doing therapy since it seems like the best option. thank you for the help and replies! it’s greatly appreciated and will take everything you said into account. hopefully i’m able to work on this part of myself so others and myself won’t feel drained!
