One step forward!
Ok so yesterday my coworker called in sick because he had what seemed like sv. But obviously he came in today. I was only there for an hr once he got there, but still that could have been enough to freak me out. But it didn't. I continued about my day like normal. I didn't avoid him or wash my hands more than I needed to. I just felt really proud of myself for not flipping out and making myself sick. Of course it has crossed my mind: "what if I get it from him??" But I keep my hands away from my mouth and wash my hands as needed. I think it's a big step for me, especially considering the amount of freakin I have done lately. Just wanted to share it with people who can agree with how great this is. 😊

There's too much beauty and joy in the world to miss. My emetophobia WILL NOT win. This too shall pass.
