Sorry about putting this here but it is a serious problem and registering with the current indian connection would take literary hours...
So i have a somewhat huge problem when the ship is moving too much due to high waves. I mean, i feel so bad i want to literally quit and never again go close to a ship. While when the weather is calm there is no problem what so ever. The mental state when i feel seasick is horrible
Last trip was from Australia to India, when we passed between the nicobar islands the ship encountered waves of 4-5 meters and even though it was fully loaded the ship often went from a list to port of 14 degrees to a list to starboard of 14 degrees again. I was almost for 2 days on the bed since if i started standing for just a few minutes i would have to run to the nearest toilet even though i havent eaten anything to throw out. After the first 2 days i tried to get to the bridge for some time but after 30 minutes i would start feeling really bad, and the problem didnt seem to get smaller every passing day. I felt just as horrible in the last day like i was feeling in the first day...
Everyone said that seasickness pills are not a good idea since you will never get used to the ship moving like that and you will forever need those pills, plus i heard that if you take those pills often you start developing a resistance to them and the effect is getting weaker every time.
Some suggested me to eat toasted bread(which i havent found useful considering it hasnt stopped me from throwing up), some suggested orange/bananas or just to eat or to keep throwing up till i get used to it? Eating is almost impossible since i feel like i am ready to throw up all the time and anything i ate is still close to my neck... Only if i throw up i feel ok for like 15 minutes and can eat something small and go to sleep so i wont go to sleep on an empty stomach
So do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue, because this issue is definitely going to cause trouble when i become second officer. I am a cadet currently on a bulk carrier and that is my first sea phase
