Feel so overwhelmed

[Bramblespoint]

Can't stop worrying or relax at all - I can't even sleep.

Just SO worried about all the puking bugs and the DC catching one for Christmas.

I thought we'd swerved all the school ones but DC was in the car with a friend today and friend threw up everywhere! Could have been car sickness but if it wasn't then in that enclosed space it's almost inevitable we'll have it for Christmas isn't it.

I always have health anxiety about the kids - they both have long term conditions- but this is hideous and feel totally hysterical. Partly due to the pressure of Christmas I think

Any ideas how to relax? If he's caught it he's caught it I know logically

Would preparing for it help to ease your mind? Stock up on cheap plastic bowls, so you know everyone has a bowl, making up beds with a mattress protector /sheet/repeat if you have enough mattress protectors then if someone is sick in the night you can whip off the puked on bedding and already have fresh bedding underneath.

Weak bleach solution at the ready.
