Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here. Im 19 and in my first year of college. I live too far away from home to reasonably drive, and my family is getting me plane tickets to fly home.

I’m totally fine flying home alone, but there’s one massive problem. I have severe motion sickness, and planes kill me.  

A few years ago I went on an 8 hour fishing trip and I forgot my Dramamine. I threw up every second and ended up giving myself a bleeding stomach ulcer, and was throwing up blood in the end. This experience has screwed me up, and the thought of getting motion sick again paralyzes me. 

I’ve flown home once before, and now I take double the dose of Dramamine (which definitely isn’t good for me) to prevent even the SLIGHTEST chance of me getting sick. When the plane started descending, my anxiety got so bad I ended up throwing up anyway.I had a connecting flight afterwards, and I was so worried about getting sick again I spent the waiting period throwing up in a bathroom stall. 

Now I don’t know what to do, I take anti-motion sickness meds and still get so nervous I still get sick, I feel like no matter what I do I’m still getting sick, which makes it all even worse. I have a flight coming up next Wednesday. If anyone has any idea what I could do to help, please let me know.
