So im going to describe how my fear goes and how im affected on a daily basis. I think its anxiety triggered which then feeds the fear fire. If anyone has a stomach bug or even looks sick I stay away. If they say "I don't feel good" I stay away. I don't eat in fear that I will randomly get sick or get the flu. If I feel even slightly different than normal I panic and fear that im going to get sick. I cant eat out or sit in crowded places. I get the feeling like im going to get sick and get anxiety attacks even when im driving alone. Its usually only long distances. I haven't always been this way and some days are better than others. Earlier today I was clearing my throat and started to gag on something that got stuck. I strained something in my neck I was gagging so hard. Then for the next hour I was pacing around fearing I was going to get sick. I check expiration dates of food like crazy. I smell my own breathe a lot because I know if you have a stomach bug it will smell bad. Like I said some days are better than others. Some days im completely fine. Others im a wreck every 5 minuets. I haven't gotten sick since 5th grade....im now 23 years old.

Anyone else relate? Talking about it and drinking water usually makes me feel better. Honestly.
