Suffered with it all my life, mainly about others being sick. But I caught a vomiting bug off DS back in March so now I’m having to deal with both sides. With me catching the bug, it’s made everything worse. DS came into my bedroom at 6am saying he feels sick. I told him to go in the bathroom. He’s not been sick yet. I woke DP up to tell him and he’s told me he will deal with it if DS is sick. I’m currently downstairs with my head under the blanket so I can’t hear it if he’s sick. I’m shaking and feel sick myself but I know that’s the anxiety. I can’t cope right now and I’m going to be worrying like mad for the next 3 days for worrying if I catch it. I won’t be able to sleep or eat. I fucking hate this phobia, if I had one wish it’d be not to have it. I know I sound pathetic but I truly can’t help it. I’m currently going through CBT for it, I really, really hope it works☹️

Carry on with the CBT. I suffered badly with emetophobia and I know how horrible it can be. I was eventually able to get a handle on it before DD was old enough to pick up on it.
