I have an extreme fear of vomiting. It is ridiculous! I avoid any and all situations where I think that I will catch a stomach bug. I avoid public bathrooms, doctors offices and congested areas with a lot of people. I hate touching door handles and the debit machines at stores. I use hand sanitizer like I breathe the air. I just recently went to an AFI concert and I was sandwiched between sweaty people and the ONLY reason I did it was because AFI is my absolute favorite band and I wanted to see the lead singer close up. Anyways...my boyfriend got ill today with a stomach flu or food poisoning. He vomited on two separate occasions and now has diarrhea. He has body aches and has a low-grade fever. I think that what he has is contagious. Before he felt ill we kissed and shared drinks. I am basically waiting for the inevitable and all day I have been shaky with fear. Mainly I am terrified I will miss an extremely important class I must attend tomorrow for my student teaching internship. If I don't go I can fail. I am freaking out, I wasn't able to eat all day and I feel the symptoms of getting sick, but I think they are possibly sympathy pains and my anxiety. Help!
