Worried about germs and SV

[jesskali]

I had posted last week regarding our county fair. I went to the fair again last night and did not get as many opportunities to wash my hands. I also ate part of a funnel cake while walking down the midway. I can just imagine SV particles in the air and on my funnel cake. Now, I am terribly worried that I am going to get a SV. There are so many people at the fair and so many germs. The thing is, I have an EXTREMELY important doctor's appt tomorrow and I am terrified that I will wake up *v* and not be able to go. If I miss this appt it will be months before I can be seen again. I'm sure that I'm just worried for nothing, but it's just one of those emet things.

Please remember me in your thoughts tomorrow!

Try not to worry, I'm sure you are going to be fine. Germs are EVERYWHERE, not just at the county fair. I'm sure that you didn't surround yourself with any more germs that you would have if you were at the supermarket.I'm sure you will not be v* tomorrow. Actually, Ican almost guarantee that you will not be v* tomorrow. Good luckat your appointment. Let us know if you made itthere ok.

Hey Jess....I hope that you are fine...and are going to be fine....like it's been said before....germs are everywhere you go....it's not going to be more in one place than the other i don't think...it's just the emet trying to take over your brain.....don't let it......just focus on your doctor's appt...and how important this is to you.......mind over matter here......do something to distract yourself if you can. I know it's hard...but I am sure you will be just fine...and not sick............good luck...and let me know how things go tomm.....K

Well, I obviously didn't get sick and made it to my doctor's appt fine.

Now, I'm worried about a co-worker who called in this morning sick. She has had diarrhea since 3:00 this morning. Then after she got up to get ready for work, her son started with diarrhea and *v*. She said she felt fine and would try to come to work if she could find someone to keep her son [img]smileys/smilies_03.gif[/img] I strongly encouraged her to stay at home and rest with her son today. Fortunately, I was not around her much at all yesterday, so hopefully I haven't caught anything!

I have been reading this sight for a long time. I have been afraid of this for years. I did not know there was a true phobia until I saw it on Dr. Phil...I am glad to see I am not alone!! It is nice to see people have the same thoughts I do. I hate this time of year...I ma always scared about the stomach bug.......it keeps me up some nights. I have two children and fear them getting sick all the time. Sometimes I think I am going crazy

You are not going crazy...if so, we all are!!!


I have a son and I think all day, 24/7 about him getting sick or me being sick. I ask my husband constantly if he is o.k. and he finally told me not to ask him anymore that he promises he will tell me if he is not. LOL


Anyway, I too heard about it on Dr. Phil and I must tell you that you will find everyone on here very nice and wonderful to have around. At any single time you need to vent and be made to feel better, this is the place and everyone understands how you feel. It is amazing and I will also tell you that it makes you feel better in knowing that others understand you.


WELCOME!!!

You are definitely NOT alone. It is a terrible phobia. I am trying to do positive self talk and I take 1 medication. Its helped and I am better.

[sonny]

What medication, does it help?? I feel like I need something this time of year I worry about it all the time!! [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

How are you doing now Jess? I would be nervous to. But you know what to do just make sure you wash your hands, you will be fine.



sonny, feels good knowing that you are not alone. The only medication that I take is bonamine for nausea, lorazapam when I anxious and some herbal medication. I saw that dr phil show and I truly think he could of said more on the topic, oh well. Glad you found this site
