    I decided I'm going to leave the group. It actually makes me worse reading about sv's on here, I use to think it was good therapy knowing that others suffer as I do, sad but true, but to keep on reading people getting it or knowing people getting it day in and day out is not helping me at all...it's making me worse. I had take out yesterday for the first time in a couple years only to learn employees there have been passing IT around. I found this out after I ate. I have been in a terrible state ever since. I would have never known had I not come on here and read about the recent sv's people are dealing with last night on this board...then I did some checking on where I ate and sure enough it was there. I wish everyone well. Kim

    I understand your reason for leaving. I wish you all the best Kim.

    Kute kim...I totally understand what you are saying. I actually get stomach aches when I read what is going on...I just can't seem to get away. I just tell myself that it is in another state, and my state is fine...I usually get over it in a matter of time. Good luck...

    I understand you leaving too. I left for about 4months after joining and only came back last month I think. I started feeling like I had a real problem, or disease, and I didnt like it. Since I have been for therapy I have been able to come back and look at other posts and think: gee i'm glad I'm not that bad, or: wow that kinda stuff doesn't bother me (eg I hardly EVER wash my hands and don't even know what Lysol is!) I also don't have any anti-emetics in my house for 'in case'.I've realised that I don't have it as bad as some peeps on here. I try to give as much advice as I can where i can but don't take to heart (or should I say stomach)all the stuff I read.


    Well Good luck with things and you know where to come if you need a rant etc!!


    Bye for now!! [img]smileys/smilies_39.gif[/img]

    Kim,


    I totally understand how you feel. I felt the very same way shortly after joining. It's kind of scary reading about all these SVs all over the place. But, remember that the people on here live all over the world. In reality, there aren't that many SVs in any one given area. When you come to this site, you are just bombarded with it every day, but in reality, it is not something you need to worry about every day. Does this help any? If you need help and don't want to come here, you can e-mail me at [email protected].

    Maybe you just need a break. Sometimes I take a 3-4 day break because I can feel myself getting super stressed about the sv thing. But I tend to come right back because this forum is really a comfort for me.

    Best of luck to you anyway!!!

    Good luck, Kim! I totally understand how you feel...this place is both a blessing and a curse!! I am considering taking a long break soon, and perhaps start therapy during that time. While I've been here, my anxiety has doubled, and I've even developed IBS...I don't want to sound like I'm blaming all my troubles on this site though, because it has helped me understand my mind and my body much more, and I've met so many lovely people. But I sometimes wish I could go back in time and just "not know"!!


    It's one thing to sit around and worry about this whole thing, it's another to get up and say "I'm gonna do something about it!". So, again, I wish you luck, Kim! Any time you want to check in, I'm sure this place will still be here ^___^
