    Default I am SO paranoid!!!

    Hi guys, right now I'm kind of terrified. My best friend and I were going to watch a movie, but I had to wait about an hour before I went down to her house because I had to eat dinner. Thank GOD I didn't go down sooner, because I texted her to tell her I would be down in about a half hour and she responded saying that she just got v* sick. I was so happy I didn't come down sooner and was there for her to get sick, but I had just been with her the day before at school and there is an incubation period. Now, I know you can't get the norovirus from just being around someone who has it (but it's been going around my school like CRAZY!!! 2 of my other friends have had it)

    I'm still scared though. How did she get it? Could I have it without knowing it yet from the same place she got it? Like the gym locker room? Are there early symptoms that maybe foreshadow that you're going to come down with it? (More bowel movements that usual? B/c that happened the day before I got noro last year) I'm just really afraid that I'm going to get it because I have a college visit tomorrow and I don't want to be 3 hours away from home and then come down with it

    This time of year I'm so paranoid about getting the stomach flu I use hand sanitizer like crazy and wash my hands when I get the chance. People look at me like, "wtf are you doing?"

    I'm being cautious on what I'm eating today, only eating if I'm hungry and trying to wait as long as I can before I eat, because if I do get sick I don't want to have a lot of nasty to v*, you know? And I already told my friend that her and my sister are not allowed to ride to school with me for like the next two weeks XD Is that mean?

    This is my best friend, I've tried to explain to her about my emetophobia, but she basically just said, "Pfft" ugh lol... what should I do!!!
