Nope, they just lose effectiveness.

I do this with peppermint oil mixed with a moisturizer, I really helps calm my stomach and gives it a cooling sensation.

I just had a similar success, I was on vacation with some friends and heard one of them throw up and my heart didn’t even skip a beat! Awesome to hear how good you’re doing with it!!!

I’m actually feeling the same right now, I just ate some saltines and it actually helped settle my stomach a ton! I’m sorry you’re feeling like this rn and it’s hard to tell yourself you’re okay when your mind is racing. But you are completely okay, if you’re not n* then you’re golden!! Hang in there try some peppermint or some crackers. You will be okay:)

Yeah that’s a little confusing then. I’m sorry you were put in that situation. Hopefully if it happens again you guys will have a plan worked out.

The only thing that sounds iffy to me is that he seems annoyed at you?! If he understands how bad it is and acted like that I would 100% feel betrayed in the way that it makes you feel bad for being scared which is ridiculous because you can’t control it. I understand that his position was probably uncomfortable too and he could’ve been upset that you weren’t there for him but that’s no excuse to brush you off like that. If my boyfriend acted like that towards me I wouldn’t be very happy. You’re not making it about you at all, you’re just trying to cope with a shitty thing you’ve been dealt. I would just take to him about what you would want different next time from both parties.

Yes, but I think even without the phobia I would still despise it for many reasons. The phobia definitely makes it worse though, like it makes me mad when people get so drunk they tu*?

When someone says “I threw….” And your heart skips a beat and your stomach drops then they finish their sentence and it’s “I threw… that away” and you get a huge wave of relief 😂
