Hi, I'll attempt to keep this short..I'm 17 and have been dealing with my fear since around middle school, when I got the flu on christmas day. Not a day goes by where I don't think of getting sick, but especially when I'm in public or, as of lately, on the stage for a performance. I shake terribly and have a panic attack whenever I feel like I'm going to get sick. I haven't thrown up in about 3 years now, and right now I'm laying in bed feeling absolutely miserable and afraid I'm going to be sick.

The worst part, that I often relate to the feeling I had during Christmas, is the strange feeling I get when I almost know that I'll be sick later that night with the flu. I had that feeling during dinner, and it's actually very disturbing and scary.

I need help to get over this fear, because I think I just woke up with the flu. Sorry if this seems jumbly, its 4 am and im very tired. thanks for reading
