Am i in the wrong?
I have emetophobia and i work in a pharmacy. Typically i don’t have an issue with customers because i only see them for about 15 seconds to a minute, and i genuinely like my job. My co worker came in 2 days in a row throwing up and having diarrhea. This set me off. I’ve had horrible anxiety about it and it’s caused my ibs to flare up, which is causing more anxiety. I unfortunately made it very obvious that i didn’t wanna be around her and apparently i made her feel bad because i didn’t wanna be around her. Am i wrong about feeling some type of way because my co worker is working actively sick? I can’t afford to be sick and with my anxiety and my chronic illnesses, getting sick would put me in a spiral. I was also told that i shouldn’t work in a pharmacy because of my fear, but i’m completely fine with customers, not co workers that i’m around for hours on end. I feel like you shouldn’t be working when you’re throwing up and around patients who are possibly sick or immunocompromised. Like am i wrong for being pretty upset about this situation??
