hi there im new heree and im hoping just being here may help me .
i have a massive fear of getting sickness bugs ie norovirus and the like .
i recently have spent most days feeling ill etc etc to the point i was made to visit the dr who ran blood tests and found nothing . I explained what was happening and after telling a friend ( who i didnt know was suffering ) my symptoms she said she was having simmilar symptoms and has anxiety , after hearing that it all added up
been having digestion problems, headaches etc etc and i spend a vast amount of the day worrying ill pick up a sickness bug , or i have one and my stomach rumble is about to turn into a full blown norovirus style incident i cant control . I work on cars and am in and out of 10 a day and of course that makes me worry ill pick something up from those
I dont know where these feelings have come from but they have gotten a lot worse over the past 6 months or so , to the point where i wont really eat takeaways , go out for dinner , i dont like my kids touching my face , i panic the whole time that one of the kids will be sick which has gotten worse since my eldest started school and my youngest visits groups with her mum . Ialso dont like going anywhere incase i get sick away from home .
im visiting my parents tonight for dinner , my mum works in a school so ill end up worrying that shes picked something up from school then it ends up in my dinner and ill get sick
A big part of the worry is having to take time off work and let them down as i work for a small company and if one in the house get sick its likely we all will and ill end up with a whole week off which i dont get paid for
i wont let the lads at work make me drinks , and the other day i bought a can of drink from the shop and i took it to work and boiled the kettle so i could "sterilise" the can top . i even have taken to wearing fresh rubber gloves (my job sees me in them anyhow) when i make a drink for everyone or eat my lunch .
if im making a sandwhich i wash my hands open the bread wash my hands because the bread wrapper could be contaminated take out the bread touch the butter pack or the ham pack end up washing my hands again incase the packets were contaminated , its frustrating and rather over the top .
even the lads at work have noticed it , one i told ive been given a number and he said get your arse down there or youll end up worse . which was good as i was expecting to have the piss ripped out of me
the other night i got around 2 hours sleep where my stomach was rumbling and i thought i may end up with a bug . today typing this im worrying as my sons in school incase he catches something .
Ive found myself on google ive learnt just how noro is spread and it seems impossible to keep away from , when someone one on facebook mentions they are sick it sends me into panic mode knowing the bugs out there doing the rounds and how long until its near me .
ive found myself much more irritable lately and a lot less patient
ive been given a number by the dr and ive rung them it seems to be a counselling service , in a way im quite upset that its ended up this way as i thought it would just blow over but it hasnt . Its spoiling my life and that of my wife and kids , we go on holiday soon and im terrifed of not only the flight but also when im there getting ill and ruining the holiday , yet ive been were we are going before and never got ill so why am i worried now .
right now i hate the way i am it needs to change i miss the old me tbh
