Is anyone get anxiety attacks after learning of their child being around sickness at school or elsewhere?

Question

I have OCD and am so afraid of them getting sick it is giving me anxiety attacks. Anyone have that experience or similar?

Answer 1

No. But I can see how it can happen: My husband works at a grocery store. I think you get the picture!

Have you sought help for yourself? If not, do so: It will be the best present you can give yourself AND your kids.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I am pregnant and have some anxieties about being exposed to germs so i cant imagine how im going to be once my child is here! Try and relax (always easier said then done) because exposure to germs actually builds the immune system, being too clean can actually make you more sick. If it gets to be unmanagable talk to a professional. There are a lot of nasty illnesses that go around between the kids but it's part of being a kid i guess. Good luck to you!
