Skinnypuppy, I agree! I've just started a thread today on a similar subject in this forum, on a possible solution to the problem of streaks. I don't know if that's quite what you're thinking of, but I agree with your conclusion (even if you arrived at it via a different route to me) that an unhealthy obsession with NOT being sick (however much this sounds like and is how people with this phobia see the world) is ironically the whole problem.

I'm seeing a general therapist right now to try and work out the causes of this wretched phobia and will soon start CBT to attack the symptoms and one conclusion I've already drawn for myself is that, however natural it may sound, my total focus on "my wonderful streak must never end" is actually what keeps the phobia alive.
