I have an extreme fear of getting food poisoning. I hardly ever enjoy eating out. I also fear potlucks or simply going to someone else's house to eat. I'm scared to buy uncooked food from the store, so I usually buy fully cooked, canned or frozen foods to keep it safe. I have a pretty bad fear and anxiety when it comes to food in general. I was never like this before, but it just got worse over the past few years. I feel really depressed, trapped and not in control. It's the worst feeling and I feel bad because I know my hubby gets frustrated sometimes, especially when we are on vacation and he wants to eat out. It just sucks really bad. I even get worried that my hubby will eat something bad and I will have to hear or watch him vomit. I have never had food poisoning where I vomited, but my hubby has. I actually haven't vomited since I was like 6 or 7, so I have no idea how it feels. I just know I don't ever want to, because it seems so gross and terrifying. Especially when people who have vomited talk about how gross it was. It also seems like food poisoning is painful and can last up to a couple of weeks! Not to mention, people end up in the hospital from getting food poisoning. So scary!!! Does anyone else have this extreme fear of getting food poisoning? I'm just so desperate to live a happy and care free life!
