I went to a 'family reunion' at my grandparents' house yesterday, and was brave enough to eat some of the food that my aunt made. After eating the food, I was told that someone my mum hugged (my cousin) 'caught something that was making her feel unwell'. My automatic assumption: sv. I of coarse, spiraled into panic, and was trapped in the same house as her for four long hours, and the drive home lasted one and a half hours. I was making so much progress with my anxiety...
It seems like everytime I improve on this phobia, another setback appears, like this. I know that's just superstition, but I can't help but notice it.
Can you get an sv from hugging someone who was sick? That's currently my main concern.
Wishing everyone well.
