I don't have relatable experience or anything that will be helpful other than explaining the logic that touching a door knob will not make you sick and that excessive stress does lower your immune system... but you know that... but I think that if you can see a psych and get on meds it could really help you if you haven't already. Either way good luck!
Thanks for the response, I was supposed to start prozac saturday... then came down with this flu and was afraid of taking the medicine while not feeling good (I didn't want to feel worse) But I will be going on it once I kick this bug
