Yes after reading a few more posts from other people I have gathered that!! I see a lot of people have mentioned worrying about family and colleagues getting sick. I feel like a horrible person for it sometimes though, the other day one of the girls I work with had been vomitting the night before.. I wouldnt inhale when I walked past her, and every ten minutes I would be spraying the office with disinfectant spray! Not to mention of course I felt sick for the next 3 days waiting for it to happen to me

I am exactly the same..I always tell my partner I feel sick - he tells me its in my head - and I tell him "No but I think it's the real thing this time!" and it never is... my friends don't understand how much it messes with your head. They all want to go out to mexican and chinese restaurants and when I say I can't eat at those places (I don't trust them at all!!) they just seem really confused like.. who cares if you get sick it lasts like a day. I wish I had that mindset!

THanks for your advise though, I do try and keep myself busy and do some breathing exercises to slow down my heartrate, I have considered psychiatry but it comes down to time and money. And at the end of the day, I just feel like there's no one thats going to be able to convince me that it's fine to eat in the dodgiest looking chinese restaurant in town, only teach me ways of coping with it. haha thanks for the suggestions - we don't have Walmart in Australia however I am more than familiar with the people of walmart pics haha. They're always going around office emails

Thanks Jennifer
