sick

For the past couple of days i have been very scared about getting sick, because of all the flu stuff going around. I went home though where my mom had a fever and didnt feel good which didnt help my fears. she was etter the next day, but i keep being irrationally scared, and twice i have vomited. could i be so freaked out that i am making myself sick? i only vomited after i had really bad anxiety and i have no fever or any other symptoms of an illness. Also if i am making myself sick how do i calm down and stop being so scared?

I posted a few days ago about flu scares too.. My son was pretty sick about a month ago with possible flu and the whole month has just kind of lingered on as far as the cold feelings go, he even got bronchitis too like two weeks ago.. And he is usually a healthy kid!!!  So this whole flu season my anxiety has been on edge majorly!!!!!!!  I am scared for my son and step children and I myself am only 25. I just kept hearing all the bad and unknowns of this flu and kept freaking out. I bought Lysol and soap and purrel like a crazy woman :-)
however I hav came to the realization it going to be a long flu season!! We are just starting in too. Second it is really no more serious then seasonal flu it is just differant on who it effects and how fast it could spread.. But for most people "my son probably included" get it get mildly sick for a week and then recover just fine!!!
And someone quoted on my question :-) that there is not much you can do to keep it out of your house but why stress now deal with it if and when you need too.. So I have tried to relax even just a little for my own sanity and just use really good hand washing etc...  For me and my kids And things I can control and keep things clean and so far it's working because we all have had nothing more serious then colds!!
But yeah this is scary but the chance of having serious complications are rare and I keep trying to tell myself that. Good luck :-)
