Hello:


I haven't been here in some time, but flu season is here full force and so I am here full force. I took my son to the pediatrician today for a scratch on his face that had become infected and it was like everyone in the city who was sick was there. The sick room was overflowing with kids into the well room where my son and I sat frozen. He was curious about the fish in the fish tank, so he went off to touch the infected glass. It took everything in me to sit there for the hour we waited. I asked the doctor why they were so busy and he said the stomach flu. I have been depressed and upset all day and I am worried one of us will get sick. I have so many health problems from the stress of this emetephobia sickness that I am not sure what to do anymore. I am a freak. I have some Prozac in my cabinet I haven't started yet and I am thinking now might be the time to start taking it. Does anyone have some uplifting words for this basket case mom?
