stomach and anxiety
My phobias are stomach upset. I can't even go near my family if they have a stomach bug. I get really anxious and I get an upset stomach too. I really need help.
Do you go out in public? Do you know how many people you must come into close proximity with who have "stomach bugs?" My guess would be quite a few. Do you come home from the grocery store or the mall feeling anxious with an upset stoamch? Probably not.
So this only happens within your family when you KNOW there's a bug on the lose.
Do I have that correct?
If so, I agree, you really do need help. Therapy is pretty much the only thing that will help you identify why you feel like this and help you overcome this phobia. Normally I would advise a medical check up first, but since this only happens to you when a family member is sick, I'd say pass "GO" and head straight for therapy.
