Could be that you fear it because it was what you had when you were diagnosed and it reminds you of not being well..like someone who is sick once in public then maybe fears they will be again so feels sick everytime they are in public.

And this is a brilliant book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Self-Help-Your-Nerves-overcoming/dp/0722531559/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329869164&sr=1-1

And perhaps go to your GP and tell them about your worries, just saying it out loud to someone can work wonders :hugs:
