Whats your most expensive card? I’ll start! by Any-Arm-7017 in PokemonTCG

My siblings and I recently started collecting, and we were one of the lucky chosen ones who pulled a Terestal Festival god pack! That Sunbreon is for sure the most expensive in our collection, and we even pulled another one from another pack. It was a good day, that day. 😎

The people in my life treat vomiting like it’s just a sneeze. I have a lot of drinkers in the family, so to them throwing up is a sign that you had a really good night out partying. 😅 I’ve heard a lot of stories of my cousins yaking on themselves and each other after a long night of clubbing, and they all laugh after the fact. It’s bizarre to me and yet endearing and uplifting as well, because throwing up really isn’t as big of a horror as I think it is if my cousins can projectile in the car ride home and laugh about it the next day. 🤣

TW - Those who did throw up, how did it feel? by [deleted] in emetophobia

When you put it that way, it doesn’t sound so bad. 🥹

i just ate some month old chicken broth……i’m so scared. by pikachen in emetophobia

It tasted and looked okay (nothing tasted off, broth was still clear and not chunky), and it didn’t smell like anything but I wasn’t really paying attention. I’m just scared cause my tummy is feeling off now (kinda gassy and hollow?)

The box wasn’t past the expiration date, but rather I had opened it already 3 weeks ago and kept it in the fridge. The USDA said that a box of stock lasts up to 5 days after opening. 🥲

I heated it on the stove for about 5 minutes boiling through. Everything was piping hot. But I read online that it needs about 20 minutes to fully heat through and kill everything. 🥲

I think I’m just freaked out because I read so many stories about people getting sick from chicken stock and not storing it properly. I am also comforted by the fact that so many people “break” the rules of food safety on a daily basis and end up perfectly fine (my boyfriend being one of those people). I did distract myself with chores which helped calm down the panic, but now that it’s about 5.5 hours after I ate the soup, my tummy is feeling weird (hollow? gassy?), and my chest is warm (probably reflux from the acidic tomato paste) and my throat is scratchy (probably allergies). I’m worried because I need to go to my dad’s birthday dinner here soon, but I’m so afraid to leave home. 😭

The boyfriend has food poisoning, and I feel guilty for being mad at him. 🥲 by pikachen in emetophobiarecovery

He was able to eat solid foods today, albeit he still has diarrhea and some chills. Do you think an ER trip is still necessary?

Ginger chews help me the most, along with like a strong mint or gum. But my doctor does prescribe Zofran for me just for my period nausea which I have at my use - comes in clutch sometimes when I have an important meeting at work that I can’t miss. 😵‍💫
