Need a winter sickness rant

I'm fed up.

DC1 had stomach bug two weeks ago. Then DC2 had stomach bug for next few days. Followed by DP and I both contracting stomach bug, and then both getting chesty flu. Then DC1 catching chesty virus with more diarrhoea and sickness symptoms. Just when we think we're over it, SC gets dropped off today and has started vomiting everywhere.

I'm at my absolute limit with it. I'm a huge emetophobe as it is which makes everything worse, but more rationally I'm still so weak from the past two viruses in the past couple of weeks, I can't risk catching anything else and neither DP or I can take more time off work after the past few weeks. It's just nonstop, right at the time when trying to sort everything for Christmas too.

Just need a rant.

I don’t have any advice but feel for you. Also an emetophobe here and this time of year is always a struggle mentally whether we get unwell or not as I am always dreading it. Hope you all avoid the SC one as maybe still
immune from your last bout? 🤞🏻

@fourelementary I'm glad it's not just me. emetophobia is hard. DP doesn't understand at all.
