Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.
So i have a phobia of sickness and today i woke up feeling ill. Really ill. I am all panicing now thinking i am gonna be sick. I am also worried i will give it to my kids as i hate others being sick aswell. I don't know what to do, i wish i didn't feel like this. It just makes me feel even worse.

I share your fear. Have a glass of water and a cold flannel to your neck. And dont panic. Or at least try to remember to breath evenly. If your sick then remember you wont die. Its ok.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
