    So, I went out last night....and I had a good time, but now I have this weird idea that the guy I went out with last night is sick or something, and that I will have gotten whatever he has. He was coughing just a bit....and I let him have a sip of my drink ( I didn't want to explain the phobia to a new person right off the bat).I am so worried, he said he was tired last night...what if he was coming down with something? And I won't be able to talk to him until tommorow, so I won't find out if he's okay or not. It's weird, with new people I tend to do that....with my friends it's okay....but I don't know this guy very well, or his personality, or whatever.....I hope I'm making sense.


    Anyways, I'm just feeling really sad and low right now....It's this stupid fear taking over...and I have myself convinced I'm going to come down with some sort of flu bug, after sharing a sip of my drink.


    Help.
    .I just want to feel safe in my own skin. I just want to be happy again. I just want to feel deep in my own world. But I’m so lonely I don’t even want to be with myself. <3

    I'm really sorry. I am sure he was okay, there are many
    reasons for someone to be tired. He may have had a long day, had a
    fight (like me tonight, I will get to that in a while), something may
    have stressed him out... lots of things can make someone tired. I'm
    tired now but I know I am not sick and I know what made me tired.
    Sometimes if you are tired you can cough, I know I do but I never got
    any kind of sickness, including colds. I dont know what I can say to
    make you feel better. To be honest, I'm feeling pretty lousy myself
    (not sick lousy, more POed lousy) so in that case I cant really say
    anything comforting right now. Just try to distract yourself and maybe
    next time you go out with someone, casually ask him something like if
    its going to be a late night are you feeling up to it (throw in
    something like if you had a long day and prefer to cut the evening
    short then maybe reschedule because you want to spend a lot of time
    with him talking and stuff)
