Need some advise and reasurrance

[kylie_0607]

Well last night I went to my bfs where I was going to sleep over and have dinner. As we sat down to the dinner table to eat my bf said that his mum felt n*. I had just used the loo downstairs that she had used earlier (not to v* in thou). I ate my dinner and told him I felt really nervous anduncomfortable and asked if we could sleep at mine that night which he agreed to but wanted to saty at his for a bit. So I said we could watch a film in his cinema type garage cos I thought ok way from the house. But watching the film I felt like the germs where on me cos I had washed my hands in teh toilet, used teh same towl touched the door handle etc. My bf had also washed his hands there and eat with his hands. Do you think there would be any germs in the bathroom? Anyway so we left and Im still worrying about it. Also my bf knows about my phobia but doesn't really understand it. He said I dont know how you can go through life fearing something so much, he said he felt sorry for me and can't I just not be scared!!!!??? He said it also makes him scared to get s* cos he knows I wont be able to see him/ look after him. Help im nervous and sad for not being able to deal with this.

Kylie,


we all share your thoughts and distress....only a new weeks back, my partner (who i live with) got ill one night. We had buried his grandpa earlier that day and his being ill was partially to do with this and partially do with him having a little too much too drink. At first I was terrified at the idea of him being s* but i somehow plucked up the courage to go to him and try to comfort him - it's funny how sometimes you can look your fear in the face just for a moment to try and protect the ones you love.


and don't worry - if you washed your hands - there won't have been any bacteria on them.


i always try to remind myself that all causes of nausea/ v* are contagious.
