Feeling not so well

[rubysoho120]

So I had to go to the er on Friday for my cut finger, and I was
around a v* sick girl. I have been nervou ever since that Im
goign to get sick from her. Well last night my tummy started to
feel weird. This morning it felt full and strange, and I had to go
potty bad and there was a lot. I have been having tons of gas
that is really weird and bad smelling and I still feel kind of off.
I'm scared its the beginning of something. I have to go back to
the er today for a check up. I dont want to be there. I don't
want to be sick. I'm really scared too because last night my bf
said he felt real n* and couldnt eat dinner, and I came home
and he said he was feeling better, and he even had a beer. Im
worried that I or we have something, and I have to go to work
and I'm totally scared. How will I ever feel normal? I don't want
to be sick. Anyone been exposed lately and not gotten it (sv)?
Help Im totally a nervous scared reck!

I have been to the hospital numerous times with my kids and not once has either of us caught any stomach bugs. I think you were on the can a lot because of your nerves. Stress can bring on poops.
When you go back just use hand sanitizer you will be fine.

I look really pale in my face and lips....thats not a good sign.
Could it be because Im cold. I feel realy cold too. I cant seem t
stay warm in this wheather.

I was exposed to the SV last week and haven't caught it yet. I was exposed on Wednesday and today is now Monday. I did, however, catch a cold that I was exposed to on Wednesday [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]


Before you start to panic about possibly having a SV, think about what you have eaten and take into consideration if you are on any medications (possibly antibiotics for your cut). Hopefully you just ate something that isn't agreeing with you.


Keep us posted and stay strong! *hugs*

nerves can do alot of things to you. I think your starting to imagine things that are wrong with you, so much so that you're starting to believe something IS actually wrong with you. You need to focus on other explanations of why your feeling the way you do : for example, you may look pale, maybe you havent slept well, or most likely, its the winter and everyone looks pale around this time.


your mind is playing tricks on you. my professor said something to me the other day that really struck a cord: ( she's a neuropsychology professor of 40 some years) she said that your mind lies to you, all the time. In other words, you can't always trust what your mind is telling you, especially in the case of someone who is prone to irrational thoughts.


I'm not going to tell you that your okay. That won't do anything except calm you down as a quick fix, and in 5 minutes you'll be back to worrying again. you have to rationalize yourself.

Thanks guys. I had a rought day of feeling weird, then fine, then
hungry then not so good. I think I'm just really stressed out and
I think I have been eating too much fiber if that is possible. Im
really anxous about my boyfriend and me, and my new jobs,
and trying to deal with life. Thanks for the loving support.
