Notes on Am I wise?

How are you feeling today? I am on day 1 and it has been a huge challenge to get this far. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety with a phobia of feeling and being sick. So having to take medication with a possible side effect of vomiting and nausea has stopped me. When I have tried before, the furtherest I got was to put the capsule in my mouth before spitting it and ending up in hospital and needing to be sedated.
So if I can do this, so can you. Headaches are horrible, I have found using tiger balm on the back of my neck helps as well as hot baths. I think this is because it helps relax your muscles. Distraction also may work. I am guessing reading would be difficult but have you tried audio books? These are my new go to and get me through a lot.
Hope things start to get easier for you.

Stick with it. It has taken everything I have to be able to take one of these capsules and I am on day. If I can do this, so can you.
Distraction such as audio books are helping me. Try a nice warm bath or shower, as this may help relax you muscles. Feeling tense will make the headaches worse.
Are you able to rest or are you working?
