    Unhappy I feel bad but can't help it :(

    I feel so bad and mean because when someone posts on facebook that they have a stomach virus or if I overhear them say they are sick or even if it's someone in my family and I know they have the stomach flu I feel like I hate them. It's like I get sincerely and utterly mad at them for catching the stomach flu because I'm so afraid they will end up giving it to me and I hate it. I also hate it because it makes me feel like anyone can get it. Last year my mom got the stomach flu really bad and I was so mad about it because I'm like if she can get it then I can too because she's just as big on hygeine as I am and she still contracted it... Now on facebook I see all kinds of people from my church putting up that they have the stoamch flu and I just want to freak out on them and tell them they are stupid and should wash their hands more often so they don't get it and give it to other people because it's not fair to the people that try to keep healthy and don't want it to be given it by people who don't care to wash their hands before they eat or touch their face and then they pass it on to all of us that are careful. Ugh I'm rambling I know but I feel like I hate people that get sick. Ugh I don't want to be mean and I wish I could be compassionate but I"m too mad at people to be compassionate and not mad...ugh it sucks and I feel like I'm next.

    I feel totally the same way, like I know it's not right and unfair but I truly hate them and even find talking over the internet with them difficult. It's like hating them for getting *s and not taking care of themselves.... even when I have no idea if they are ultra hygienic like us or not! I also tend to quiz people when they say they are unwell about what is wrong, where they have been, their hygiene habbits etc. So I imagine they must hate me too! Sympathise with the 'I'm next feeling', everyone seems to be getting it and you think it's only a matter of time But hopefully our super hygiene will stop that happening x Love to you, It's not just you that feels that way.... Compassion for something you are so afraid of it tough. As when someone is s* it's hard to separate the illness from the person and work out which bit you are actually mad at and afraid of x

    Just reading through all the posts...I completely, totally feel the exact same way. I hate how people have to post that they are sick with a sv or fp on facebook. I feel like they should know that no one wants to know or needs details at all. I would rather be ignorant to everyone's sickness than to know about it and have to obsess about it.
    My mom got sick a couple years ago while visiting me and it was horrible! I wanted her to leave and I felt like such a horrible person for thinking that way. I just don't want anyone near me when they are sick!

    I`m glad that I live on my own, & don`t have any conact with sick people. It really irritates me when people on the street bump into me because they are`nt looking where they`re going. I think that if they`ve got any illnesses, I could catch it from conact with them. As for people who carry on as normal when they have a sv, the less said about them the better!
