Hi everyone Im so glad I found this site. Please excuse if I say anything inappropriate or triggering - as a said, a newbie here. I REALLY REALLY need help or advice or ANYTHING please.
I suffer from emetophobia - its SO bad I avoid eating out etc etc Im sure im not the first here. It effects me so much.
So Friday evening I popped into pharmacy to collect anti anxiety meds (I had just come from bereavement counselling, i lost my Mum in May).
When I arrived at pharmacy one of the staff was cleaning the floor. A little boy had been ((sorry cant even say it). I completely freaked out as staff member told me that was the 8th case of that virus into pharmacy that day!!!!
That was Friday. Since then I am LITERALLY sitting frozen to the spot in fear of "v". I read all about incubation periods for bugs and all that (bloody google) and Im SO SO terrified. (Google said 72 hours which will be tomorrow evening but then I read a post and it said incubation can be up to a week???!!!!) Id rather be with my mum at this stage. Can anyone shed any light on it for me PLEASE - this is killing me I am SO SO terrified. Thank you in advance.
