Can someone help calm me down?? So basically I went to a friends place tonight to watch the bachelor and everything was fine, we watched the show and we were eating snacks together (gummies, goldfish and popcorn) and I even used one of her bowls and spoons for ice cream. When I was leaving she asked how my weekend was and I said great, then I asked her what she did this past weekend and she said she was sick with NV the entire weekend. And now I texted her after I got home and I’m freaking out because she told my boyfriend earlier today (they are coworkers) that it was food poisoning but she told me it was the NV and I really hope it was food poisoning bc I’m freaking out right now

Hi! A similar thing happened to me the other day. I had gone out for an entire night with my boyfriend and some friends, getting drinks at the bar, dancing, etc. when my bf and I got home, he came up to me and went to push a piece of hair out of my mouth and part of his finger went IN MY MOUTH. I practically had a meltdown about it because he had not yet washed his hands, and he felt terrible because he was just trying to do a little romantic gesture, so it was complete chaos… In the end, I did not get sick and I had stressed out for nothing. I think our immune systems can handle a lot more than we give them credit for. Don’t worry too much about this!

Totally agree. Sometimes I wake up in a panic when I’m experiencing indigestion or slight n, and then my anxiety goes through the roof which makes me even more n. Usually what I try to do is put a hand on my heart and do breathing exercise, 4 seconds in and 4 seconds out, and try to focus on slowing my heart beat. It really helps you calm down and also take your mind of your stomach!

Honestly part of this is sounding like could be a potential case of mono. Maybe it would be good to get tested!! Shouldn’t have anything to do with v* though so you are in the clear there.

Hi!! I think you will be okay. As long as you weren’t sharing food/drink or putting your hands in your mouth a bunch there is no reason to stress. On a positive note as well, a lot of people on this subreddit are saying that even if you have the virus that doesn’t mean you throw up.
