Does anyone here experience anxiety if they suspect they may be getting a cold or the flu? Or if someone they share a home or workspace with has one, do you worry that you'll come down with it? I hate colds for the usual reasons, plus my anxiety and OCD get so much worse.

My boyfriend just came down with a cold, and now I'm worried about catching it myself. I don't have enough Airborne, so I need to get more tomorrow. I also need to get more disinfectant wipes. I wipe down sink handles and the refrigerator door handle, and things like that. I get stressed from doing all that, so that's another reason I'm more anxious at times when my bf's sick. I even wipe down things he buys for me, try not to touch my eyes (I have dry eye, and have to wipe them frequently to get gunk out) if I've come into contact with anything he's touched or breathed on, and I really hate to have him sleep in our bed. I don't sleep with him anymore, because the side I used to sleep on has a spring sticking up (we're replacing the mattress when we move), but if I'm up all night, he takes the bed, and then I sleep there when I go to bed. I hate sleeping where someone's been sick. And I think that's probably how I usually end up catching it, when I do, because I'm pretty vigilant about exposing myself to other things he's touched or breathed on. Still, there's always the dishes and utensils we share, even though I wash them after each use.

I also drink lots of orange juice, but I don't have any right now.

Anyone else this anxious and/or obsessive?
