Re: Help :( panicking
You are right, you shouldn't isolate yourself nor cancel your date. You will only grow weaker against your phobia if you back down every time you get scared. I understand why you are afraid to go out and I think most emets would feel the same way. In my experience and from what I've read stomach bugs don't always have fevers as symptoms like the flu or colds. Your boyfriends brother could be sick from something else, did his brother have diarrhea too? Diarrhea is more common and frequent with stomach viruses, I think if your boyfriend is feeling okay then you should go on your date. You are more likely to catch a virus when someone around you has symptoms. Good luck and have fun on your date, you'll be happy if you end up going.
