difficult morning

good morning! This morning is feeling very challenging. I’m really exhausted even though I got a good nights sleep. I think my anxiety the past few days has just tired my body out.

I keep thinking about the stomach bug. I know it sounds so dumb and absolutely ridiculous, but I get worried that I’ll get it. I live alone and have a huge fear of throwing up. I haven’t had it since I was a kid and I keep thinking that the longer I go without having it the more likely I am to catch it.

Maybe you will get lucky. Keep washing those hands etc.

It's a good idea to be prepared at home though. Have Gatorade or similar, soup and broth etc on hand.

I hope you remain germ free :)

It sounds like the real crux of everything is your fear of throwing up, without that everything would be much easier even if you got sick. I would really work on that in therapy, do exposure work, confront the past experiences. Ive had similar fears and experiences so i get it, i hope it never sounds like im tryng to tell you what to do, its just advice, be well!

yes that is the crux of it. Would exposure therapy require me to throw up?

Probably not, most likely you would find ways of imitating the uncomfortable feelings you associate with vomiting. Like if someone is afraid of a heart attack they could exercise to get their heart rate up to get used to a racing heart. Its about getting comfortable with the symptoms
