Emetophobia (fear of sick)

[Whatintheworldgirl]

Super weird and stupid question for anyone with emetophobia.

How do you feel about meat in the fridge?

I bought grapes earlier. I love grapes 😂 my partner put them in the fridge ontop of a pack of bacon. Now the bacon is in plastic, the grapes are in plastic but yet my stupid brain is now telling me that the bacon juice has somehow touched the grapes and that could cause some sort of food poisoning 🙈😂

It's exhausting having this mindset!!

This is exactly me, I can’t put other foods touching meat in the fridge, and I can’t touch any raw meat especially chicken, doesn’t matter how many times I wash my hands I still think I’ll get ill from it, horrible thing to have

Yea I'm similar. Not quite as bad, but similar.

If I wash the grapes (as you should anyway) it lessens the worry somewhat.

I do have to give myself a bit of a shake sometimes. Emetophobia is almost a form of OCD, you sometimes just can't shake the obsessive thoughts.
