two people in my family have a stomach virus right now and one of my best friends and i am freaking out. i skipped school today because i was scared i might have it. i don't know what to do. i'm so nervous. i put a rubber band around my wrist and i am snapping it whenever i think about v*ing. my wrist is all red and it's not helping.

pleasepleaseplease stop doing the thing with the rubber band. you do not need to punish yourself for this so don't put yourself through it.

how are you now? i noticed that your post was a little while ago, so how are you doing?

as long as you have washed your hands before eating/touching your face, you are going to be fine. please do not panic. if you have msn and want to add me, let me know and i'll message you my address as you sound really stressed.

lots of hugs.

thank you so much for responding. i went to school today and was okay. i wore the rubber band but instead of snapping it i pretended emet was a dementor and tried to think of a happy thought to ward it off (i'm a big harry potter fan)

i really love this site. it's great to have people who understand and can help. thank you!!!!
