Ugh am I getting ill?

I realise this is a pointless post as nobody can diagnose me but as there's a lot of bugs about at the moment I thought I'd post anyway.

Woke up feeling really offish today. No appetite. Waves of nausea all day but haven't actually been sick. Very tired. Still managed to get out for a walk, go shopping do school run etc and felt generally ok just a bit bleh. Just had a very sudden loose bowel movement and now panicking I might have got the dreaded sick bug going around. I have emetophobia and also have a small baby so im terrified of either of us getting poorly.

If anyone else has had this did you start like this? Any tips for survival?

Also suffer from emetaphobia. Try drinking some mint tea to settle tum and hopefully you'll feel better. Fingers crossed you are just run down x

I get days like this but manage to shrug it off by going to bed and drinking water. Don't bother with food. Rest up let your body do the rest. Unless you're pregnant of course

As stupid as it sounds I would probably rather covid than a d&v bug. I get so so anxious (along with the horrible physical symptoms). It's awful.

Last time I had a gastric bug it started like that.

I'm in the bath after a day of d&v and yesterday I felt like that.

Maybe stock up on some wipes, mouthwash and Imodium just in case and you might feel a bit better knowing you are prepared ?
