I sat on the toilet and leaned my head over the edge of the washbowl and I thought I was losing my guts and my dinner both.  The sickness rolled through me in great waves.  After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture-chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and on all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces.  Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

 

 

Most of the time we think we’re sick, it’s all in the mind.  Thomas Wolfe
