Yeah you don’t wanna eat anything complicated just in case it does come back up or makes symptoms worse. But there’s nothing worse than feeling nauseous all day, I’d rather get it over with…doesn’t always go that way though :/

Thanks. It seems like my body doesn't want to vomit so far. I did dry heave hours ago though.
If I do throw up I'll welcome it but gonna try to eat some food that can get my GI system going like veggies and lemon water and see what happens.

Lean into it. The faster you vomit the quicker you feel better. I kneel in front the of toilet and start thinking of rly gross things, doesn’t take long. Gotta read your body though, kinda have to intuit that it’s def gonna happen.
If you’re just nauseous, drink some ginger or chamomile tea to settle your stomach. Or some ginger ale and some crackers.

Sit down, and have cold water. I'll hold cold water in my mouth and also use the cold water to put on my hand to cool down my forehead.
Take deep, even breaths. Drink the cold water slowly.
Try to find the best route to a bathroom or somewhere private enough to hurl.

Yep that is misery. Try drinking a ton of water, your body needs it anyway. I used to fight the urge but, usually, the faster you vomit the sooner you'll feel better. Hope you recover soon!

I just drink the soda water and I take a warm bath and try to either vomit while showering, or I sit down in the shower and I just try to rest there for a while. Definitely try to vomit while in the shower tho

If you can vomit. If you can't or don't want to, get fresh cool air, close one eye and plug one ear.

Drink while working, and put on some jammy jams. You will suddenly find yourself in a one man party instead of doing work

Humming helps to prevent gagging, choking, or vomiting. Probably not forever though. And as others have said, if you need to puke, it's probably best to just let it out.

If you have chores or a task that you’ve been putting off, even though you know it will take a small amount of time and little effort, but still can’t force yourself to do it…and this is something you consistently do, you might have ADHD.
Executive Dysfunction is a symptom, which is basically that your brain doesn’t give you dopamine for completely tasks, like a neurotypical brain does. For everyone else, they complete a task, they get a dopamine hit that gives them a sense of accomplishment. ADHD brains don’t get that, without a reward for doing a task our brains just say, “I’m not doing it.” And don’t give you the motivation to complete it.
If that sounds like you, do a little research on ADHD and see if anything else fits and talk to your doctor about getting tested and treatment options.
If it’s not you, any of these other suggestions can help.

I made a YouTube playlist of videos I want to watch that I watch exclusively when I do chores. So there’s always the excitement about getting to watch stuff I’m interested in that really helps with getting motivated. (This obviously also works with podcasts.)

I say that I am going to be kind to my future self and get stuff done.
Dishes? Be kind to my future self and will have a clean plate for dinner.
Laundry? Be kind to my future self so I can wear my favorite Tshirt the next day...

I use talking books. Only listen to them when doing chores. If it is a good book I will do extra chores to hear more of the story.

I don’t know if if this tip actually makes me enjoy the chore, it certainly helps me enjoy the fact that I got it done. I break up the chores into smaller bits and reward my self with a game of what ever it is I am playing on my phone at the time. I don’t play the game unless I’ve completed a piece of the chore. Similarly, I don’t scroll on my phone unless I am riding my stationary bike.
