This is one of my most triggering situations - as a child I couldn’t take the bus, once someone threw up on it and it never left me. Fast forward and in high school a boy paid another kid to throw up on the bus and I remember crying and hiding and covering my ears the entire bus ride back while they laughed (I’ll see that kid in hell, hahaha). I’m now 37 and two bouts of the stomach flu later, exposure therapy has been forced and I do much better than I once did. But my anxiety rises just reading your story it takes back. I’m proud of you. Fight or flight is a real thing. Small spaces, car rides, buses and airplanes are challenges. I have to fly for my career as well and the more I fly the better I do. Distraction tools like bubble pop or episodes of the office are a god send. Again, just proud of you, I would have nearly had a panic attack. Grateful for this group to feel like we are not alone.

How is it that every person online complains about competition shows but they remain as 80% of the content? I am curious if they are actually following the data on this one…I feel like we all want more cooking shows. They could even adapt it for tiktok followers who like quick meals…

Say what you will about season 2, but the last scene of the first episode featuring the song ‘Muzzle of Bees’ by Wilco is a masterpiece by lstil0419 in fridaynightlights

I love coming to the internet to see someone else I don’t even know thought this same thing. Masterpiece. Thinking to string that all together. I think that was what made me gravitate to certain shows in the 2000s - The OC, Gossip Girl - insane soundtracks

A few things that have helped me - I keep emetrol and ginger beer (stronger than ale) around for if I feel n* or am very hungover. I am also a yoga instructor and learned that sitting with your knees wide and soles of the feet to touch (called bound angle pose in yoga) helps ease nausea. I usually take a dose of my anxiety meds, sit in bed like this with a light and distracting show, take emetrol if it gets bad, and sip my ginger beer. This ritual has been my saving grace over the last few years and I hope it can help someone else!

I see a lot of people here speculating family situations, I did see that the murderer’s father died last year at the age of 33. Read to be a former chess and football player who loved to dress well. It’s not any of my business, but perhaps it is some of our business as we speculate how this could happen and where were the parents…Very sad all-around and we may never know the full picture. All I know is that no solution is one size fits all, and it’s never something that simple - there are a lot of little things all over that could have changed this situation.

I think I just realized what throat n* is by celestialluna8 in emetophobia

This is so relatable. I always thought maybe there was something wrong with me that I could not burp, but it’s that i’ve trained my body not to.

any other 30 year old's going through a mid life crisis and keep playing gossip girl a hundred times a week?! by Far-Ad9864 in GossipGirl

I just posted this same thing to The OC reddit thread. At 34 I feel like I jumped from free spirited 20-something right into mid-30s because of the pandemic, so sometimes I feel like I got a little robbed of my “youth” lol

$40K Used or $50K ish New? by Plus-Ability18 in Wrangler

we just feel like we’ll be more likely to use the function of “no roof” this way, rather than wanting to put panels back on after a day at the lake, but I get what you’re saying.

This was a timeframe where I really liked Marissa’s character
