I joined childline for exactly the same reason. I know exactly what you mean - and how it can actually take control of your life. It's such a hinderance, and makes me feel so out of control. I can't be normal and do normal things because I'm just so terrified. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I advise getting some sort of hypnotherapy or something before it completely takes over your life.

I seriously advise you both to look into methods of treating it before it's too late. Perhaps talk to your parents if you can, or your GP - even look into hypnotherapy. There are a few methods, though not all are effective. If you're both in england (I expect you are), you could talk to your GP about CAMHS and see what they could do for you. CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. I've had therapy with them and I'm about to start again. Just a thought.

Really, don't let it go too far.

I know exactly how you feel.
Mine is more unspecific. Anything to do with sick, not just being sick (which i can actually handle) but people being sick, the word sick, something that will make me sick.
It pretty much rules my life, I dream about it, I have to do things in certain ways to counter it, like I can't be in crowds in case someone is sick, I can't have children (Obviously not now, when i'm older) because children are ill and tbh I doubt i'll ever be able to live with someone because what about when they're sick. I've had it since I was about eleven (Six years ago) but only realised a few months ago that not everyone felt it and actually it is a really irrational thing to be scared of.
