I've been with my boyfriend for a year, and I've told him about my fear of throwing up - but he just doesn't really GET it. To make matters worse, my mother thinks I'm being ridiculous.

It has gotten to the point where I don't even like to kiss him or be too close to him in fear of catching something that will cause me to throw up. I feel horrible because I love him and I understand that by doing this I am hurting him - but I can't help it! Everything he says he's not feeling well, I go into panic mode. I can't even help him when he's sick because it freaks me out too much to do anything !

I just don't know what to do anymore .. I need help
