Hello everyone, so I am totally new here and I would IVE an introduction but I am currently panicking in the bathroom at my school and ain't nobody got time for that! I have used this site and the old one for reassurance countless times before when I didn't have an account, but right now I really need some individualized help. A guy in my class just announced at the top of his lungs that he projectile v* a couple nights before. I am TERRIFIED of being near him at all. In my rational mind I know that that's not how you catch it, but I am still shaking and hyperventilating and I really should go back to class... Ugh! High school is the worst!

High school truly is the worst. I've overheard so many people announce at school that they v*ed the night before (or even that morning), and I've panicked in the bathroom so many times. Take a few deep breaths, collect yourself, and when you feel ready, go back to class. Like you said, your rational mind knows you can't catch it that way- and you don't even know that he had a virus. For all you know, he could've just eaten something bad. Your rational mind is key!

I've had these problems in school for as long as I can remember. I'm in high school and I can remember v-related things from kindergarten. Last year a girl fainted on me (which I later found out was because she's phobic towards blood and needles, and we were talking about blood clotting in bio) and then almost v* into a trash can, and I spend the next hour or so in a closet having a severe panic attack and getting help from my teacher (who didn't know beforehand, but was extremely compassionate and helpful). I do what you did in panicky situations - remove myself from the situation until I've calmed down. Every day I bring a water to school, and I can drink that and take deep breaths before returning. I find that the majority of people - especially in school - love to share about their v* experiences. At least twice a day this sv* season I hear a new person share about their v* experiences. You should be fine, and your rational mind knows you are, so I don't have to go on and tell you that you are fine. Practice calming yourself at home so that it's easier to do in school, and remove yourself when you must. And if you can't, walk straight out the classroom door and either explain yourself or make an excuse later.

Thank you both so much for responding, I really appreciate it and it helped a LOT. I had to stay after school and I was still so shaken up that I was about to have a full blown panic but I saw your alls responses and I was able to take some breaths and get where I was going without worrying too much. This truly is an amazing community and I'm so glad to be a part of it now thanks again!!
