So happy to hear all of these positive stories!

At this point in time I'm not afraid of vomiting anymore. I'm still uncomfortable when other people do it around me, but it's getting better. I no longer wash my hands obsessively, I try so many new foods, and have pretty much not avoided anything lately due to my fear. I'm still nervous that people will be sick near my in certain situations (like when a child says their stomach hurts) but the anxiety is much less. If someone tells me they/their family member has been sick recently I no longer dig and pry for answers to what kind of illness it was and even if they flat it say it was a vomit illness I no longer feel like I'm doomed to catch it. I don't even wash my hands any more than usual even in that situation.

So many other improvements too I can't even think of them all right now.
