I was using dry heaving once every few days as a way to relax myself and did it on purpose once or twice instead of letting feeling pass. Then one night at work I had massive fear of confined space and started dry heave like crazy. Then it was like any little thing I better dry heave so I feel good. Then it was like my body thinks it needs it to cope and do stuff. Like my doctor said.. it’s just a feeling usually from a negative thought but not a negative situation. The situation isn’t the problem. The situations the same since I was a kid. It’s the fear of dry heaving in that situation. So it’s a negative thought/fear which contributes to a negative feeling for a usual situation. So I can either tell myself awwww looks it’s that feeling I must be thinking about dry heaving ( negative thought) but then tell myself the situation is fine which is a positive thought which gives a positive feeling. Or can just go through it not thinking anything and with exposure it goes down over time. Or like u said, say thank you for feeling which is body way thinking it’s helping but I don’t need help rite now but thanks anyways. First and third ones combined sounds like good bet. Even sometimes I get feeling drinking water and it tries control me and not let me do things but If I say “ jees this just drinking water, this not negative situation and drink away then it helps. Also my diet isn’t good so I added supplements..magnesium, b complex, vitamin d, omega 3 and a multivitamin. I heard mix reviews on vitamin b complex some saying causes anxious but majority says it’s good. Also I didn’t wanna text friends and read work info lately cause I said it makes me anxious but the work info and friends don’t make me anxious.. it’s the negative though I give it which produces negative feeling. If I tell myself the situation ( texting friends/work info) isn’t bad or depressing then though changed and positive feeling and I do it. That time I had go down to dump to drop off lots garbage. Had big feeling gonna dry heave but held it together and told myself it’s not dump it’s my negative though taking place about dump. Hope this makes since
