dr stone makes me feel physically sick
disclaimer! i love this story with my whole heart and it's not exaggeration to say that it has genuinely changed my life. however, i also mean the title literally. when i see stuff related to dr stone, and sometimes even when i just think about it, i start feeling queasy/nauseous/that stomach butterfly feeling which also can lead to stomach/abdominal pain or actually sending me to the bathroom. sometimes my mouth does that sour taste at the back that usually happens before you vomit. even writing this post my stomach is roiling. it's kinda funny, because i can factually and truthfully say 'i love dr stone so much i feel ill', but also it does get inconvenient. my running theory is that i have ibs, and during a flareup was when i got super into dr stone, and now my brain subconsciously associates the ibs flareup feeling with dr stone?? so dr stone is now a trigger for my ibs???? but also i've definitely hyperventilated + had a racing heart + needed to get up and walk around/had to aggressively flap my hands to get the energy/adrenaline out (otherwise it would go straight to making my stomach feel like it's doing backflips) over dr stone and those aren't ibs symptoms.
anyway, just thought that was an amusing tidbit to share! would love to know if anyone else relates to this at all in any way bc the more i think about it the more ridiculous and unserious my situation seems.
