Hi I'm Liz. I'm 23. and after a recent illness(of which didnt involve*V*'ing but tons of*D* lasting like 4 weeks).... i became very very anxious about it, and it has overtaken me to the point that I want to drop out of my last semester of college to be less at risk for catching what other sick people have. I havent*V*'d since age:kid, however i am so so so so so so fearful of it.

My question though is; what are the odds that just because you've been in contact with someone who has contracted an SVthing, that you will actually get it????

I hungout with my boyfriend a few days ago, I found out that this morning he *V'd* andfeels real sick, and so i am FREAKING OUT thinking that I"LL GET IT TOO. my face is getting hot right now even typing this. i wont necessarily get it right? as I'm not around him RIGHT NOW? and i will probably end up avoiding him for the next few weeks as i've researched that you can carry it with you for awhile.
OH GOSH. i sound insane.

i also avoid food a lot, as i'm afraid that if i catch a sickness that i'll be more prone to *V*'ing. is that insane?

ugh. do support groups really help?

responses would be great. thank you.

P.S.

i didnt really eat dinner at a result of finding out about my boyfriend, however my stomach is sort of hurting right now. but it could probably just be from not eating right? i dont really know the difference between stomach feelings anymore. Edited by: liz28
