    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.

    hi there Natzybabez' sorry that you have these worries,
    Yeah kids do pick up alot of infections but they ALWAYS get over them, remember as a child all the childhood infections that u picked up??
    Mumps, Measles, German Measles, Whooping cough etc etc but you came through right? Well if you got something this time around you would get over it too, anyhow we all become immune once we've had these irritating and "horrid things" its part and parcel of life unfortunately.
    keep your immune system topped up with vitamins , good diet etc
    Good health to you love Richie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    hi,

    i have the same phobia, im still at school and when im walking around i see everyone as 'unclean', and i might get a bug of them. i have now developed this thing about touching door handles and banisters in public places, and everything i see i can see millions of bad bacteria crawling over it.

    MAX

    ps i use this hand sanitiser which has really helped, it calle 'no germs' and its non alcohol as alcohol ones dont kill noro virus
