Nausea just not going away. What is this. What do I need to do to flush it out of my system??
I don’t know if that’s what’s also causing me to feel really low, I got some really nice emails today (not a job offer but possible projects later in the year) and I feel nothing, like I’m just going through the motions. The meds give me enough motivation to keep myself watered and fed but not much else.
Ginger tea? I cut up / grate raw ginger and add water and just sip on it.
Honey on toast for a little energy burst.
and don’t get too worried - nothing saps your motivation like nausea
I normally don’t enjoy ginger tea or have raw ginger hanging around at home. But as it happens, I have some right now, I’ll give it a go, whatever might work… It’s not like other times where I’ve had heartburn and burping and taken some antacids, or when I’ve had stomach pains, this is just nausea. Big week next week and I can’t afford to spend more days feeling so low. Thank you for the reassurance, I just feel like this is speed running me towards depression again and I’ve worked hard to get myself out of it recently
Oh yeah I get that. The ‘do I need to rest or is this depression starting’ is the worst. But unless you can trace the nausea to anxiety then there’s something wrong with your tummy and rest is good. Just try to get sun and eat as regularly as possible but chill.
Hm, I feel like there could be a hereto unacknowledged psychogenic component of it too. But yeah, worrying about it won’t help either. I’ll try and go for the ol’ reset in the morning - pretend like the day before didn’t exist. I really appreciate that you get what it’s like, thank you for the reassurance :D
I’m not usually one for alternative: there is a spot right in the middle of your wrist and about an inch down from your natural bend. Get some sort of bead/round button and strap it tight. Will help travel sickness, possibly other nausea things.
It’s kind of weird, not severe enough to feel like right, I’m doubled over and incapable, but enough to feel totally out of whack most of the time.
I’ll try some meds if I’m really not improving soon, although I’m tempted to go for Ondansetron only because that’s one of those pharma names that has stuck in my brain for years because I like the sound of it heh.
You know, I’m actually wondering whether it was some very weird version of that, because thr first day I had such an awful headache and that was my main symptom the one time I did get the rona. That cleared off after a day this time so I thought maybe not, but it is such a funny disease… The only other related symptom I have had so far was a small accumulation of thick, dry mucus at the back of my throat yesterday. I might seriously consider this. Maybe it’s a post infection thing
This sounds a bit like it might be accumulated stress rebound finally kicking in after the shitshow of your last job. Coupled with uncertainty about the future. The going through the motions feeling says to me that you aren’t ready yet to challenge yourself too far. Take symptomatic relief for nausea (ginger is traditional and usually pretty effective) and distract yourself if you feel able to. Maybe plan a weekend (or a couple of weekdays) away by yourself in a pretty part of the country where you can enjoy some guilt free relaxation. Now that the school horrordays are over, prices drop and availability goes up and the weather is still nice. Somewhere like Hepburn Springs or Castlemaine or similar maybe. Here’s hoping you feel recharged very soon.
Ah, I could give you a hug for this comment TW. I think perhaps you have dislodged something I wasn’t willing to admit to. It might be a coincidence that I started feeling abruptly unwell on Sunday, the day after I submitted my only job application so far, one I’d sat on doing for two weeks because I honestly felt like I was trying to be someone I wasn’t in order to do something I didn’t really want… the old work mask has faded off fully and I don’t feel like enough of a person yet to be back in the world, or at least that world…
I feel like I’ve already spent enough time relaxing/recovering, but I get the sense it’s no longer the type I need. Have overseas visitors all of next week but after that I must book in some external time out instead of allowing myself to be digested by my own juices. Maybe the high country. Thank you for the sage advice as always.

Very curious. I’ll have to try this in the morning, gotta be up and about for a bit and that’s when I feel most queasy…
Sometimes a few extra strong peppermints eaten slowly help me. A warm shower sometimes helps too for some reason.
If it’s severe and not going away maybe ask the GP for some Ondansetron

I get you. It is really hard to function through nausea
Internet dumpling soup
Soup… gurgly soup…
Covid? Heard it’s a symptom
