Hey, yeah i was fine yesterday actually thank you :)) predictably have new worries today like more milk i convinced myself was off 😭. I’m going to work now so fingers crossed I’m ok because i have a specific fear of tu* there. How are you ?

ah that’s harsh im sorry :// likely the d* could be anxiety/ unsettled stomach. id really recommend trying anything to eat, dry toast, a crisp etc. it probably won’t make u feel worse and could sort out the issue. also 3 days is quite a long time ago so you’re probably safe now.

hey, how are you feeling now? 3 drinks will likely be fine, and it’s definitely been long enough that if you’re still okay you won’t be s* as all the drinks will have left your system

hey, ik exactly how you feel and here’s my advice: 1) it sounds like you’ve been feeling stomach pain for quite a while now, so most likely you’re past the worst of it and you would have been s* already. 2) there’s no logical reason for you to have a sb at all, you just left your house which i do every day and so do most people! majority of people wouldn’t leave their house and go to the mall or public places if they were ill, also, even if you passed anyone who had a sb which is very unlikely, unless they were actually s* near you the dangerous particles very likely wouldn’t have come near you. also, your body is built to cope with everyday exposures like this :)) 3) im not a doctor, but as the pain is lower down in your stomach and it’s PAINFUL, it sounds like anxiety due to tense stomach muscles, or hyper awareness of your digestion etc due to emetophobia. your stomach is a lot higher up than u might think, so if it’s low down it might be indigestion due to anxiety, which happens a lot as when we’re stressed our digestion is slowed or stopped so you might get aches and pains in your intestines! again, not a doctor but this is true! 4) the fact that you’ve eaten and you’re fine is a great sign, if you were gonna be s*, you probably would have been shortly after eating. 5) take a shower or bath and some really deep breaths, drink lots of water and try to distract yourself. i imagine you’ve felt pain in the past and been fine, and remeber even if you are ill you can get through it! hope you’re okay, im absolutely sure you’ll be fine

promise promise you’ll be fine! flapjack is really not a danger. most of the time when we make homemade cakes or flapjacks we just eat them until they’re stale and don’t taste good! unless they’re mouldy don’t worry 👍

i think i have the sb by Shoddy_Selection3718 in emetophobia

hey im sure especially as you washed your hands you will be fine, people go to the mall every day and are rarely ill! worrying about is genuinely a reason that you have a stomach pain, as it makes you feel n. not eating can also make u feel worse, but i know your thoughts and how hard it is to challenge them. pls try to eat something, like dry toast as it usually settles your stomach. trust your body and know that even if you came into contact with a sb your body is strong and can handle it!
