Doesn't this sound super fun? (1 Viewer)

I was talking with my mom and I was reminded of a trip we went on when we were young. We were going to Virginia for thanksgiving. At the start of the trip I threw up in the car (cars can give me motion sickness). The car in question was a manual (so a pain in traffic). We got stuck in heavy heavy traffic. It was Thanksgiving and we were stuck on a bridge directly outside of NYC near George Washington Bridge In a car that still had the smell of throw up. This was too much for the car as well, which started overheating and smelled extremely badly like burned car parts. That mingled with the smell of throw up and created a truly delightful experience. I’m glad I was young enough that I remember little of the trip

This sounds like an actual nightmare.

This is why you should keep bags in your car...

It only happens in cars, except the one time I threw up from a ride. But I love roller coasters, I’ve been on so many and I almost never have issues. I also have no issue with boats. I haven’t tried any medicine because while it happens it happens very rarely, I think I’ve thrown up from cars one in the past couple years total. So It may make sense to keep something in the car for those occasions but I may not even remember where I put them because of how infrequently I use them.

Oh so it’s like every now and then not almost always?

yeah maybe it would be nice to keep handy, tho they expire quickly iirc

just maybe keep ginger to chew on or gum or hard candies to suck then (non medicine remedies I’ve been told of)

have you ever tried VR? People can get motion sickness even from that

once we were doing some vr thing in Spanish class and the teacher asked if anyone had motion sickness. I raised my hand and then bc of me we had to take frequent breaks while doing it so I wouldn’t get sick rip

no one complained tho thankfully but it was a bit embarrassing

honestly tho I overthought it tho bc no one was even looking around to see who raised their hand, and she had given a disclaimer abt motion sickness before we even did it

It’s pretty rare yeah. VR is also fine, but I haven’t done too much of it tbh. But I never had any issue when I did. And the expiry thing was also one thing I was thinking of, given that mine is so rare. Tbh I think the best thing I could do is learn to convince myself to tell others, before I’d be worried about inconveniencing them, and thus letting it get so bad that by the time I finally feel like I need to say something I feel like opening my mouth will make me throw up. But that’s definitely a bigger inconvenience than having us stop for a bit realistically

Ah I feel like we talked abt it (or me having it) before but you never mentioned you had ocasional motion sickness to me before

ah yeah I was diagnosed as a baby because the only time I’d cry was on cars and I’d always get sick (cuz I smiled all the time)

I mentioned it once on ks but im pretty positive got where gone then. Maybe I discussed the topic another time too, it’s very possible
