I appreciate Im not the only who feels like this is taking over their life but my phobia ha gradually gone from being pretty bad to now it completely dominates my life, it's all I think about and so much of my life is being put on hold because of it. I'm 19 and I just feel like I'm ruining my life because I can't control this.

I'm sorry if I sound selfish I'm just at such a low and don't know what to do anymore. It's Christmas and I can't relax caus I'm so scared me or someone in my family will get ill. There's been people on my Facebook feed saying their house has got Noro. I cam back from uni yesterday and my mum is upset at how bad I've got. My general anxiety has got bad again, I have become very OCD and mum thinks I'm going to develop an eating disorder or something and said I may end up in hospital because I'm tormenting myself constantly with these thoughts.

im currently babysitting and was told the boy had temperature earlier and immediately panicked thinking he was getting sick, he has cough and blocked nose so praying It is just that, he says he feels bit better now but everytime he coughs I think he is going to v*. I'm her till 2am ish.

id jus really like some help If you've been this low or worse before and how I can relax just for a while. Please help
