Hello everyone,


I am new here and just recently found out that my phobia actually has a name(Dr. Phil show). I have been an emet for 20 years now and I have not told a single person, not my husband, not my parents. I have 3 young kids, which I actually told myself when I was young that I wasn't going to have kids becausethey v* so often, but I did and I am glad I did.


I will try to shorten this up as much as I can but, for the past couple of days I've been going through an episode of panic attacks. Last Thursday morning I got the dreaded call at work that I had to pick up my daughter from school because she had v*. One, the thought of having a sick person locked in a car with me is enough to send me over the edge and two not knowing if she has an sv or it was something she ate.The drive from work to her school was a nightmare, with all the thoughts running through my head. After I picked her up I had to take her to my moms so I could go back to work, but she seemed fine (she only v* once) and she just said that she had a headache and a stomach ache but she felt much better. She was fine from then on, so I just figure she ate something that didn't agree with her. Well yesterday (Sunday) I had my sons birthday party at my house. I had a lot of my family over and when my brother got there, he said "Thanks a lot, your daughter gave my what she had. I was sick all day yesterday." My heart dropped and the rest of the party that's all I could think about. Then my sister in-law comes over and says she v* the day before as well(that could of been from the night before of drinking, I'm trying to tell myself anyways). Now I'm terrified that I will get sick, or one of my other kids will get sick. As soon as everyone left the party I bleached and lysoled everything. I slept probably 2 hours last night worrying that one of the other kids was going to wake up and be sick or I was. To make matters worse, my mom watches my kids when I'm at workand my brother lives there, so now I'm worried that my kids are over there in that germ filled house and there are going to get sick. I already know that tonight is not going to be fun and I probably won't get much sleep again, any words of encouragement would be really appreciated!!!
