    Default Desperate times call for desperate measures

    Hey guys,
    I've been kinda MIA for awhile and was hoping that I would not have to come back, but here I am in need of advice. There is some kind of gastrointestinal illness going around at work and for those of you that remember where I work, well, it's not the cleanest place on earth. Actually, it might be right there with the deepest pit of hell lol as far as being sanitary is concerned. I'm tweaking out because on Monday one of the girls was vomiting all day at work. Why she did not go home is beyond me. Fortunately, I am not scheduled for Mondays so I was not there. Nausea/vomiting is a common complaint amongst my place of employment. Yesterday I awoke not feeling so hot and did not really eat all day. I tried to get down a few fries and chicken tenders--I know, not the healthiest choice I could have made but it was cheap and quick. I had around six glasses of Coke yesterday because caffeine seems to be the only thing that keeps me going. I felt worse as the day went on but I had some Nauzene in my bag so I took a few of those. The nausea subsided a bit and I had some ginger ale to get me through the rest of my shift. I was feeling so ill when my boyfriend had left to go home after hanging out with me for awhile after work. I actually thought I was going to vomit. That is how ill I was feeling. I took some Unisom sleep tabs and fell asleep feeling a bit better when I awoke, but I'm still not 100 percent. Another girl posted on FB that she was not feeling well last night which increased my anxiety. I texted her today to ask how she is doing and she said she vomited last night. Needless to say, I am not going into work today. I can't. I'm too anxious and I'm worried I'm next because I feeling nauseated yesterday/last night. I need someone to knock some sense into me. I haven't been sleeping well lately. I don't know if I'm making myself feel sick because of the anxiety hearing that there is something going around the club or if I'm genuinely sick. I took probiotics already and I NEVER touch my mouth at work unless I am CERTAIN my hands are as clean as humanly possible. The other girls do not take that same measure so at least I have that going for me? Grr this sucks well at least I have some extra time to catch up on much needed sleep. I hope everyone has been doing well. Any advice/input would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    Edit: one of my good friends just tweeted she has food poisoning. Fuck this

    I wanna feel the change consume me,
    Feel the outside turning in.
    I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
    Cleansing I've endured within
    My shadow
