Hi all,

I've been feeling sick on and off since lunch. I had KFC which is causing me to panic even more because of the salmonella risk factor. I have a headache and that feeling in my throat you get before you either dry heave or actually throw up. I know if I do vomit it's going to cause me to spiral into a severe panic attack that's going to last hours, as vomiting is my worst fear and since it rarely happens to me i'll associate it with being gravely ill and the possibility of being admitted to hospital (another phobia of mine). I know no one can actually do anything to stop this, but I just needed to vent.

Hi Chrissy, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. i can certainly empathise with you as i suffer the same and worry so much about food causing illness.

Sending you lots of :hugs: and hoping you feel better soon.
