norovirus

[Daisy425]

the news is filled with information about norovirus and I desperately don’t want it. I feel like I’m doomed to get it since I’ve never had it (I’m 26, last time I had a stomach bug I was a kid). I’m even more fearful now after going to work today. A teacher was out yesterday because over the weekend she had it, and was sick from both ends uncontrollably (TMI, sorry). I’m so scared. I live alone and I’m so terrified of throwing up. I don’t want this fear to consume me but I’m just so scared. I think I’m just sitting here waiting for it to happen because I feel like it’s inevitable. This is starting to consume my day to day life. My boyfriend made a good point-the time I’m spending worrying about this is longer than the actually virus would last. It just seems so unbearable and like I wouldn’t be able to get through it.

I have therapy tonight so I hope that helps.

As long as you wash your hands regularly you shouldn't be fine with Norovirus. I haven't had it for 10 years

When you had it was it really bad? I’m just so scared. I feel doomed

I won't lie it was bad but it goes very quickly and it's unlocked you will get it.

Unlocked?

I think autocorrect made a mess. The word is probably “unlikely”
