Hi, i'm new here and just thought id post something as im finding my phobia very difficult to deal with at the moment, what with all the talk about norovirus in the news atm. i've suffered from an acute fear of being sick for as long as i can remember and it is really crippling my life and im only 19, i can barely think straight i feel so anxious. just wondering if anyone is in the same position atm and had any advice? has CBT been successful for anyone? dont know what else to do really, all i can think about is getting ill or someone i know getting ill, is norovirus really as bad as people are making out? sorry i know there are lots of threads like this but i wasnt sure if there was anything recent. if anyone is feeling the same as me it would be nice to hear from them.
