Considering home schooling due to anxieties

I’ve always suffered with anxuety, in particular, emetophobia(fear of vomit).
I thought I had this under control after 12 months of antidepressants(cold so much better!) but I’m starting to worry again.
I hate my kids going to school because of all the bugs that are spreading like wildfire. My 5 year old seems to have the same issues as me now. I don’t think he’s got it from me, just seems to get scared when kids are sick in school. And now he seems to be worrying constantly about feeling/being sick. The panic in his face is so familiar to me. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Would I be unreasonable to consider home schooling because of this?

He has got this from youand/or your eldest.

You need to seek help for your problem. Sounds as if your DC would also benefit from counselling..

What kind of future do you think your child can hope for if he is frightened to mix with anyone who might be sick? A life of isolation, no friends, no partner, no job, no income.

Would you want that for him?
