    Default Panicked more than ever. Might happen this weekend.

    I started my student teaching in January. So far no stomach bug problems... until today. Pukers everywhere! I was in the nurses office twice with a student and I'm sure I was exposed. I was in the bathroom where they had vomited. There were students puking five feet away from me. I try to be good about washing hands but it's not always feasible. I came home crying and my dad said, "if you get it, you get it."

    I want to escape from my body and never look back. I want help so badly and I know a vomiting episode won't help. It happened a year ago and made my phobia so much worse. I'm so afraid everyone. Please be thinking of me... I feel so alone.

    GAH! I'm sorry. I give these teachers on here major credit. I was working as a CNA and had to quit cause I could not take it! I just can't let myself be that "exposed" daily... and I'm only saying exposed because kids are germy!

    I wish I could give you reassurance, however... thats a lot of puking. BUT, BUT BUT BUT you hear that happening all the time, to mothers, teachers, a lot of people and they don't get sick. so don't automatically assume your doomed.

    I hope you can calm down and relax and enjoy your weekend!
    If you try and tell me a phobia is unreal. I dare you to live a day, and feel what I have to feel.

    I always think its crazy when people say they want to die because of this... but I'm beginning to understand. I'm so afraid.

    I'm on my phone so I don't think I can... This scary waiting is so terrible and I was only exposed four hours ago...

    think positive thoughts! tell yourself you will be okay and think of all the times you have been exposed and not got it!

    I know how that feels...just try to keep your immunity up. Eat extra garlic, take vitamins, echinacea, and grape juice!! Remember the post on grape juice? I would try everything. You are not doomed! You can have good immunity and get past this....

    I understand that completely..I have no words of advice because I know how hard it is, but try to stay calm. I was exposed twice last year when my nephew came home from daycare with a SV and luckily I didn't catch it either time.

    I was up every few hours last night anxious and didn't get sick. For some reason I think it's going to happen today or tonight.

    Will it help if I don't eat this weekend? Then at least when I get it I'll have dry heaves?

    Fasting will not help. It will only cause nausea, and you'll end up thinking you have caught the virus. You need distraction. Watch your favourite movie, or play an online game.

    I went to a movie with my sister which helped... But now I'm home counting down the hours. It's been 25. I am telling myself I'm healthy and strong and going to be okay. But the CDC website says 35 hours is the average time it takes to start showing symptoms.

    If you panic, you will freak yourself out. Just relax, I know the waiting is terrible, I've been there 3 times so far this year. Just breathe.

    I had noro two Christmases ago and I'll be honest... It sucked but the vomiting wasn't that bad. It made my phobia so bad though... I wish I had a friend here with me or something.

    I'm afraid to make plans for tonight. I'm such a sad person right now. I bought a new movie today (with money I really don't have...) and was planning on watching it.. I'm really hungry but too scared to eat...

    i am really sorry...ive been with you many times before. now i just dont leave the house during feb ( i know not the best thing but it is what i need to keep myself happy) just realize that is has already been 24 hours...and counting down is ok, as long as after the 35-36 hours goes by you let it go...i know, thats the toughest. because then you think, oh well this could be the super bug that has a 5 day waiting period..NOT SO!! just try to keep busy, clean, whatevs. you are ok..you really are

    Ugh I ate some lunch and drank water and my stomach is feeling gross now. I'm not nauseous in my throat like anxiety normally is... What do you all think? It's gurgling up high and feels uneasy. It's been 47 hours...

    How are you doing? My tummy burns when I have reflux. Could it be that?
