Cruise anxiety

Natalie

My SO’s family really likes to go on cruises. They go every year or every other year. I am anticipating that the next time they go on a cruise or on a trip out of the country I will be invited.

However, I am anxious. When I was younger I was diagnosed with OCD and would force myself to do things such as obsessive counting out of fear of throwing up or fainting. Since my diagnosis I have been taking Zoloft 25mg.

I still worry a fair amount about food safety as I am afraid to get food poisoning because throwing up is my worst fear. I’m also worried about getting seasick. I’ve been on some small boats before for 30 min-1 hr and been fine. I’ve never thrown up from being carsick, but I do feel carsick occasionally.

Any recommendations for what I should do and/or if I need to worry would be greatly appreciated
