Hi. Im a 22 year old female who has an extreme fear of catching any type of illness that may involve me being sick. This has caused me to develop generalized anxiety in every day life but it all boils down to my phobia. my mum was sick saturday night at midnight its been over 48 hours but im still panicing i may pick it up!!?? I have been percribed amitryptaline low dosage about 2 weeks ago to help take the edge off and settle me at night but im not sure if its worked yet i just think im so anxious nothing will work. ive had CBT which didnt work. i find the thing that helps me the most is reasurance and talking about how im feeling.

Your not alone, my stomach bug anxiety is ruining my life my son is almost 2 my fear has picked up since he has been born , can't think of anything worse to have , if people are of sick from work I automatically think they have a bug and pray for protection against it, read everything up about the bug etc and it terrifies me, since my partner started night work I felt it's worse as I'm alone even if my tummy gurgles I get nervous and have panic attack I'm going through CBT its not done much yet
