    Hey everyone I'm new to this site so I dont know exactly how it works but I figured I'd share a little about myself and ask some questions.
    I'm 21 and I am married but legally seperated. I have a beautiful three year old son and I am currently living with my mother. I will be moving to my own house in about 2 weeks and I am a full time student. I am terrified of the stomach virus, or throwing up and have been since I was 11. I cannot get over this fear and it's so good to know I'm not alone. I thought I was crazy since nobody else I know has this fear. It is crippling and I cant function well during the months of september to may.
    My main issue now is trying to calm myself down enough to live on my own. I never have and I am afriad that when me and my son are finally on our own I will have a breakdown. I am most afraid of geting sick because if I get sick then I cant take care of my son if he gets it too, and I will have to miss class which is really really bad to do. Also, if my son gets sick before I do, or anyone that I have come into contact with, I just spend at least two weeks terrified of geting it myself. I am losing my mind. I cry alot and I am so nervous that my stomach hurts constantly. I need support, advice and some friends.
    Thanks for listening!

    I dont have a cure for you [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] i have it wery bad myself right now and still have not found a solution for my Emet- [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

    But i have to tell you that you have to think wery carfully about what you'll do,if it's the right thing to move now? Or mabye stay at your mother and get some help from a pro before you move on.
    I tell you that becouse i just moved on and on with my pregnant girlfriend,altrough i got worse for every day,and now i'm back living on my ovn where i dont have to be so afraid all the time,but i'm still sad all the time and anxious becouse i want to be with my family,but i see it fading away slovely [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

    So be carefull what you do,feel inside what you think is the best and do that... I think i sounds like a bad time for you to move now,but you know best. But try to find alternatives [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

    Thanks both of you!
    And Henrik, I think that moving has an almost equal amount of pros and cons. I am seeing a counselor but she doesn't understand this at all. And I am getting a prescription for Paxil monday.
    Thanks for the welcome!
