I always worry about this whenever travelling, that someone would get sick or have been sick and I have to go to their house. Well, last week my stepdad was sick and that worried me enough as it was, because we're going to visit for Christmas. I thought my mom was in the clear because it's been a whole week, but I just got off the phone with her, and she stayed home from work today with it. Now it's 8 days til we go there and I'm so worried that the germs will still be there when we're there. My body just went cold when my mom said she was sick. I am so scared. I think I'm scared that it'll pass to my husband and then I'll have to wait and worry and wonder if it's going to pass to me..... that has to be the root of myproblem, right? That I'm scared of other people because I'm ultimately scared of myself being sick?? I'm not going to be able to relax when we're there I know for sure. I just want to cry. I feel like an idiot posting this when there are people who were just sick or people who've got family members that they live with who are sick. I'm having such a hard time. My husband left today for Mississippi for his jobso I'll be alone for a couple days, plus I'm worried he's going to catch something on the plane or at the hotel when he's there and bring it home. I hate this phobia so much, I'm so scared.[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] I can't get it out of my head.... we're having a Christmas party at work tomorrow where people bringfood from home to share and I'm so worried about that too. This whole seasonsucks. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] I just want to be happy and festive like everyone else.
