Health anxiety and stomach virus

These two things are not a good combo. I've convinced myself I'm dying. I feel horrible, alone and scared. Why can't I get a grip? It's just a virus.

Stomach virus is the most dreaded of all (the common) illnesses in my opinion.

My anxiety skyrockets when someone I know, or one of my family members gets it...the anticipation of waiting to wake up in the middle of the night with one of my kids or me sick...ugghhh!

You are not alone in this phobia...it has been the topic of many threads here!

This will pass, and you will be fine. It does really make you feel so weak and awful that it seems possible that it could be the end of you...but you will get through it in a couple of days.

LOTS of liquid and rest...and even after you feel better...continue to take it easy until you have your full strength again. It takes a lot out of you (no pun intended!)

Feel better soon.:)

...but one year we got hit twice, so we were due a season of no stomach flu!:)

Continue to get better!
