Emetophobia

Hi

I'm just looking to find help with my emetophobia. I've always had it but it has become extremely bad since having children. My son is and my daughter is 4 and is attending preschool. I'm so scared she brings home stomach bug. They have been I'll before and I landed up in hospital for dehydration as I wouldn't eat or drink anything as I was afraid that I would get the bug and have nothing to vomit. I HATE going to shops as I'm scared of germs and I'm also very careful about what I eat. I will not eat takeaways or food that was not prepared by myself. Anyone here with the same issue?
