hi! I am new, but I have had emetophobia for as long as I can remember. I always struggle with anxiety regarding v* and sv*, and I am having a particularly hard time today. I went out to dinner with a friend who had been feeling bloated all day. also, her child is dealing with a sv*. at dinner, I tasted her drink from a separate part of the glass. also, I work with her and so we had been touching the same stuff all day. it's been several hours, but she just told me that she v* once after she got home. I am not sure if she even has a sv* or was just not feeling well. at first, I was not extremely concerned, but then she said, "hopefully you don't catch it!" this triggered me into feeling anxious. i have read that a sv* before symptoms is not contagious through saliva (since I shared her drink), but I am still concerned. if anyone has any tips/advice, then I would greatly appreciate it!
thank you!
