Look on the bright side.  At least you aren't undergoing Chemo Therapy for cancer.
I guess then you would have to deal with the emotophobic.

Girl! I have emitophobia too!!! It's horrible huh?? I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now. Once I had a burrito that just tasted weird and I was upset and worried. Anyway, if you don't start feeling bad within about 6-8 hours you're probably in the clear. Was the chicken bloody or pink? More than likely you'll be fine :) I know your mind is going crazy and your body probably doesn't feel good because you get yourself all worked up but just try to take your mind off of it. I always take a long shower or bath and read and that helps me. Emitophobia is like no other fear...believe me I know...people don't understand....you can avoid most fears like flying or public speaking but germs and food and your own body cannot be avoided!!! Here is some advice...Germstar Norovirus is a hand sanitizer that kills the stomach flu virus!!! I found it online...check it out!!! Just try to stay calm and keep me posted!!!

It wasn't negative feedback. It was a legimate question. If you felt there was something wrong with the chicken, why DID you continue to eat it? If you are an emotophobic, you should have either not eaten it or cooked it longer.
My question asking what you would like us to do was also legit. We can't tell you there was nothing wrong with the chicken. We can't promise you that because the chicken was "bendy" that that was OK or not. We can't tell you you're NOT going to throw up or get diarrhea. I certainly hope you don't, but you know yourself better than any of us and since you were obviously suspicious of this chicken, I'm repeating myself......... but I still have to wonder why you continued to eat it.
I honestly don't know what I could tell you that is positive...........I could say don't be so frightened, you'll probably be just fine, but will you believe that? I could advise you to get some therapy for your emotophobia, that would be a very positive thing for you to do, but I realize that doesn't help you right now.
I could tell you that even if the worse DOES happen, you will survive and be just fine.
I could tell you to try and relax and not focus on what may happen. I just don't honestly know what to tell you..........which is why I asked. If there is something specific people can tell you in a situation like this, educate us so next time we'll know what to say.
Are you feeling OK so far?
