Hello,
I'm new on here and I'm really stressed. I've been a severe emetophobe since as long as I can remember. I don't like to see people be sick and I don't like to be sick myself. I'm a teenager and my younger sister, who I share a room with, got a stomach ache this afternoon and now has started to v****. Our house is really small which makes it difficult to stay away from her, also we only have one bathroom, and I haven't used it since she got symptoms. We also share a room. Last time that she got a bug was a few years ago, so I am not very prepared but I haven't had a panic attack yet, so I would say that I am doing fairly okay. My stomach also aches a little, but I know that it is just my mind creating symptoms as I am stressed. I've been trying to wash my hands alot also. The biggest problem for me at the moment is the sound of v****. My bedroom is right next to the bathroom so it is going to be difficult for me to sleep. I am planning to go to school tomorrow, but there is a big chance that I may have a panic attack. I also have an important meeting with my counselor tomorrow, and I would hate to miss it, but I could reschedule it. I'm sorry if I am ranting a bit here, if someone could help me then that would be great.
