    Not really, but I have observed the opposite - on more than one occasion we
    have had a very seasick person at the "past caring whether they live or die"
    stage (and are probably hoping for the latter!), who make a remarkable
    recovery with the injection of a bit of fear. Something breaking, or just a
    problem that needs all hands, and the adrenalin rush seems to refocus the
    sufferer onto something else - often a permanent fix to the problem! Perhaps
    "apprehension" is too low a level of fear to have this effect.

    I usually suffer a minor bout of seasickness, not disabling, just
    unpleasant, on the first day or two of an offshore passage, irrespective of
    the weather. As I don't get this on day or coastal cruising, then perhaps
    this is the apprehension effect you mention.

      Has
    anybody gone through a process where sailing in very rough seas causes
    seasickness due to apprehension, and then the effect lessens after the
    equipment verifies reliability with a few events without problems ?
