freaking out..):

[seastar]

so, i posted a few days ago about my bosses daughter getting to sv and now i'm freaking because i think her brother (who has been at my work for the past few days) might be getting it, since he stayed with her daughter while she was sick. & MY brother said this morning "my stomach feels like i need to poo (he said the offensive word, but i won't use that here), but my butt doesn't" so i automatically took that has he has a stomach ache.

my stomach hurts right now because i'm pretty sure i'm anxious, but i just don't know anymore. and i usually always eat my safe food, oatmeal, for breakfast, but instead i had eggs and i'm freaking that i might get sick.

i have to go to work at 11am (it's now 7:13am) and i don't like being away from home when my stomach hurts because i just worry about "what if i get sick in public?"

it doesn't help that every year around Christmas, usually on the last day before vacation I'm at my worst with emetophobia.

it's 8:22am and i still don't feel good..but i've been comptely ignored since i've joined this site, so i don't even know why i'm posting....

You are not being ignored. People are just now starting to wake up. I think you will be ok it sounds like you are just anxious and that makes me feel nauseated too.

Thanks for replying cookpk2003, but I'm not so sure it's anxiety anymore. Usually my stomach will stop hurting after a few hours and then i'll just be hungry, but not today. I went to work & my stomach still hurt. I actually thought I was going to be sick there. Then I felt like I had gas and had to use the bathroom, but then I thought about the time back in 10th grade when I felt like that and I had really bad diarrhea (sorry for being gross ) and I started freaking out so I just tried to ignore it and keep working.

Before I left, my stomach was feeling a tad better and it even growled telling me I was hungry. Well, when I came home, I tried eating something that I considered sorta safe, and I couldn't even finish half of it because my stomach started hurting again..

All of this just reminds me of times when I was little and I knew I was going to be sick and actually was sick. My stomach hurts all day, I can't eat, then it hits at night.. So, I'm really freaking.

Hope you are feeling better now...yes, sometimes our anxiety can get the best of us and make us feel worse....its so awful! I totally know how you feel...then you're freaked at what to do all day.
