What are you terrified of, Maria? Catching your nephew's bug? Was it the plague bug? The ebola bug? The leprosy bug? Of course not, it was a respiratory bug or a stomach bug. So there's a small chance you might catch a cold or a mild stomach upset. Certainly nothing to get terriried about.
The reason you over responded like this is because anxiety magnifies normally small worries ten fold into terrifying fear. So instead of worrying about harmless common cold bugs or stomach bug why not turn your attention to the real problem: the anxiety bug that exaggerates our fears and play tricks with our nerves?
