I can't use the kitchen here. I simply can't. Not only is it unclean, but there's nothing in it. The pots are rusty, there's no cutlery, plates... anything. Just the cooker and a sink really. I...

Currently he's living 300 miles away... I feel scared and panicky at least a few times a day, but do other things to distract myself, and if all else fails, I'll have a mint. And if that doesn't work...

If they're putting their fingers near the rim, then I can see why you'd be worrying. That's gotta be a horrible realisation! The alternate mug idea is a good one. Do you think you could get away with...

And if I feel unwell I will usually try and find someone to talk to or something to distract myself (such...
Initial reaction: instant fear and rising panic
Then: I ask what kind of sick. I try and talk/rationalise it with them and try and convince myself it's okay. If they say something like...
Hmm, I guess emotional stress and anxiety trigger the feeling for me.
Also, this is just bizarre... but some images/patters immediately make me feel sick. I have such a strong negative reaction...
I can see where you're coming from, however I sooooo want to be rid of my phobia, and now I've taken the first step to getting an appointment, I'm thinking 'I can't wait til the day I'm cured'. I'm...
