'I Wanted to Die Every Morning'... Im Lara's Tears

The problem was that the method of taking hypothyroidism medication and the severe morning sickness created a worst-case scenario. Im Lara lamented, 'To take the medication, I had to endure an empty stomach for over an hour. When I woke up in the morning, I felt like I was going to die from morning sickness, and enduring that hour after taking the medication was incredibly hard in my life.'

She tearfully confessed, 'That hour was always, every morning when I woke up, I honestly wanted to die. That's why I cried a lot and vomited severely.' The pain of morning sickness that lasted from the 5th week to the 21st week was hidden behind the suffering she had to endure alone due to her illness.
