Okay, so I'm in high school and for the past month and a half, the sv* has been spreading like wildfire. Everyone in my boyfriend's family but him, his mom, and one of his sisters got it, so I'm not worried about them. But in school, whenever I hear that someone else in my class has it, I freak out. I carry around hand sanitizer in my bag and use it at the beginning of every class. How effective is it? I touch my face a ton during the day because I'm always resting my head on one of my hands, and I'm starting to get scared I'll get it. I wash them as frequently as possible but I can't go to the bathroom during every class. Plus, I have awful anxiety to begin with, so I'm always picking skin off my lip, which I'm scared about in fear of getting the sv*. My best friend's dad just got it, so now I'm freaking out more than ever. I couldn't even focus in math class because my teacher was out with it yesterday, so I was nearly in tears. I'm afraid of getting it, seeing it, hearing it. I just can't do it, and I'm so stressed out and I don't know what to do.
I take Vitamin C tablets every day to help build up my immune system, I hand sanitize all the time, and I wash my hands as often as I can. Is there anything more I can do? I'm so scared of getting sick and I'm going to go crazy if one more person I know gets it.
