    Hi Sweety

    I can understand your fear but that fact that you had the chips last night and are still well says alot.

    I honestly wouldn't worry hun

    Love Lisa

    Hello Sweety,

    I agree with Lisa - I'm sure all will be well. I don't know about you but if someone around me comes down with sickness/bugs etc (even my daughter's dogs!) I start getting the same symptoms even though I haven't got the bug! It's not intentional with me, it's always happened!

    Try to stay positive - you'll be fine, honestly.

    Wendy

    PS: I'm trying not to read health-related stuff on the internet and have even stopped watching all the doom and gloom on the news - they could put the fear of God into anyone couldn't they - grrr!!

    Rather than worry about it why don't you try and get some treatment for it?

    Have you tried anything so far?

    We DO know how you feel, sweetypie

    There has to be something that works!!! I'm still on the waiting list for CBT, if I ever start I hope to be able to offer you something constructive. In the meantime, don't give up xxx

    Re: im really panicing (emetophobia)

    Heya,Try and look at it positively and plz try not to worry hun coz ur stomach pains are likely to be caused by anxiety! Last yr my whole family got a bug and yet i never ever got it! Its so unlikely ul pick up a bug from the chip shop because the people working there dont usually touch the chips coz there too hot and its not hygenic!
    Plus i dont know about you but coz im Emetophobic with mild ocd i am constantly washing my hands or using anti bacterial gel which is prob why i rarely get ill!
    I hope ur okay and i know how u feel especially in autumn and winter coz i shut myself away too! Best Wishes xxx

    is that really that many people out of a small village though? not being horrible! i think that's quite a small number for the whole village, if that stops you worring so much
    and omg i got some chips from the local chip shop yesterday so im convinced i might of picked it up
    from chips? i think chips would be fine as long as they are cooked through and..yeah. i'm sure you can't get poisoned from chips
    i keep getting these pains in my stomach thinking iv got a bug
    that will be becuase you've got into a state about it. it will just be nerves or from being scared, i have done it to myself plenty of times. i know it isn't good thiough, it might just convince you you actually have the same thing as them (which i am sure you don't!)
    why am i so scared
    often have asked myself the same thing! it is irrational, remember.

    Please try and calm down though. I am sure you will be okay, have a hug, you need one!
