my teen got sick Sunday. it hit my partner today (Tuesday).

physically I’m fine right now. mentally I’m fighting:

• should I even take my daily meds? (I just took them)
• do I have to eat?
• If so, what can I eat that won’t be a problem? What easy food can I maybe give up for life? (I’ve had taste aversions after vomiting & a couple are still around)
• how many ginger candies is too many?
• maybe I can Google the right thing that’ll say i won’t get sick
• what show or movie can I watch while trying not to freak out? (I went with a dramatization of a real story I already know)
• how long is this going to last?

I’m trying to be more accepting that it might happen (after 25 years) & just chill for now but it’s hard!

(commiseration & advice ok)
