Really scared

[Andiebean_]

A few people I work with have had a sv*. I'm feeling really bad waves of n* and having d* but I'm also on my period and have severe endometriosis. I'm really scared right now that I'm going to v* or that I caught the sv*. I've been really careful to wash my hands and sanitize around me but I'm worried that I somehow caught it, even after not spending much time around my coworkers. I don't know if it's jut anxiety mixed with my period but I'm on the verge of having a panic attack while I'm out with my friends right now and I'm just really worried that I'm sick. Please help.

Update: just found out another person at my work had a sv*. He said he is still sick. I woke up today with d* and I'm really n*. I can't even tell if it's just my anxiety or if it's really happening. I've been having anxiety attacks since I woke up too so I don't know if I caught it or not. I really can't tell the difference and my boyfriend keeps trying to reassure me that I didn't catch anything but my anxiety is keeping me from believing it. I'm scared I'm sick and I feel like I need to go home so I don't catch it but I'm scared of letting my emetephobia interfere with my job. Help please somebody.

Hi, how are you feeling now? Anxiety can play a big part in the n* feeling. Hopefully thats all it was!

I went home early because I was too anxious to be at work. I'm feeling really tired and achy. I'm still scared I'm sick even though I probably am not but the n* has subsided since I left work.

I bet you have significantly better hygiene than your coworkers. plus if you are still feeling ok and the n is going down, I think you are going to be fine.

I have been fine. I'm still having panic attacks about it and d* and n* comes and goes but I'm sure it's just from the anxiety I'm having. It's really frustrating when you refuse to believe you are not sick no matter what.

I bet that it is nerves. Trust me, you are fine. Have a cup of tea and relax. You will be fine. This happens to me all the time. Sometimes you can get worse stomach achs from nerves then the actual stomach bug!
