Sickness bug

2 replies

BigTWDFan · 25/09/2017 16:21

I'm come to conclusion that i have a fear of sick, hearing, seeing it kids getting it or me, i literally just wanna lock me and kids up in house.
My husband works, so i'm constantly worrying that me and kids will get a bug together.. then what! Or just one of us getting it.
This is gonna sound awful, but i literally struggle going near me son if he as it, i can tell he would love a hug and i can't do it, crying now about it and he hasn't got it. Though he told me 10 mins ago he has belly ache, and i'm panicing big time. I hate this i feel like a terrible mum Sad i hate him going to nursery because all i see is illnesses all over the place.
I was fine before i was pregnant with first child, but i had morning sickness all the way through with him and second child, so now i'm afraid of illness... more sick though
Anyone else going through same that can give me some advice on how to deal with this, struggling big time.

I suffer from this as well. Wasn't a big problem before I became parent but it feels like one now. I've tried online CBT, which I struggled with a bit because it wasn't face to face, but maybe you want to give that a try? You can self-refer for a lot of it, depending on your region. Google Ieso Digital Health (if you are in the UK).

I am trying face-to-face CBT now. This is also something you might be able to self-refer for, depending on where you live.
