Please help...I am freaking out!

[JulietWoodall]

First it was my 2yr old...then my 4yr old...NOW MY MOM. My husband refuses to stay home this weekend to help me with the kids and I am so afraid I am going to catch it. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS.! What should I do? I am about to loose my mind.

Ok! First, breathe. Take deep breathes. You can do this, you can.
Are your kids still sick? If you can, wear gloves and a mask when you are cleaning up after them. Make sure to wash your hands and don't touch your face. Make sure to clean the bathroom and all surfaces. You'll be okay, you can do this!

the kids are ok now and I wore gloves but didnt have a mask. I already bleached the bathroom twice today...not since she v*d. That was pretty much the last straw for me...she NEVER gets sick...I need a miracle.

btw...thank you for your encouraging words...

You can avoid getting it yourself if you wash your hands thoroughly, or wear gloves. The mask shouldn't be necessary since you have to ingest particles from vomit or faeces to catch it, but if it makes you less anxious, then go for it. You can do it! You don't need a miracle, you can get through it on your own! Emets are strong people when we need to be, I think I hope everything settles down for you really soon and that everyone is back to their normal (healthy) selves soon!

Now everyone is asleep except my mom who I can hear v*ting and flushing the toilet over and over. This is srsly too much. I hate myself for all of this and am deeply sad and resenting hubbie bc he just doesnt seem to care

sounds like you've had a rough week.........atleast your mom can pretty much take care of herself.....but i know it's still scarey to have someone in your house sick. just keep your hands clean and away from your mouth and you should be ok.

try not to be too upset with your husband........we have to realize that nonemets have trouble understanding just how scarey this phobia can be for us........they think we should just be able to "get over it"........

you've made it through 2 sick kids.....you can do this too........deep breaths, hands away from mouth.......try and find something to concentrate on to distract you.....

Aw, don't hate yourself. None of this is your fault. I understand though. It's awful that your husband doesn't seem to care. I hope things are a little more calm for you now and that you can start working on relaxing a little bit
