I have a deep fear of germs and getting sick. Even the thought of catching a regular cold drives me crazy. I was my hands for 10 minutes, and at school, I wear a bandanna that covers my nose and mouth to help keep the germs away. I mean, hey it's not my fault that kids at my school go swimming in 10 degree weather over the weekend, and then catch a cold. Basically Everyone is sick at my school ALL the time.
Some of my teachers get mad at me when I wear my bandanna, but if they make me sit next to, talk to, and help out sick people, why shouldn't I be able to wear it? I'm not going to get sick because of one stupid person. Last week, I skipped alot of my classes just because I sat next to sick people in them and I don't want to get sick. Mainly because I just started working out, and if I'm sick, I won't be able to work out. (yes, working out is REALLY important to me.)
Now my question, I guess my question is, is there anything else I can do from getting sick? Any healthy tips that you can inform me on? (Besides obvious stuff like washing your hands.) Do you think the bandanna is a good idea? I've actually considered wearing a surgical mask but then people would think I'm even weirder.
Also, how possible is it that I'm going to get sick if I sit next to someone sick, for about 45 minutes every day? (Keep in mind that I'm wearing my bandanna over my nose and mouth.) ANY advice you have would be helpful because I'm flipping out right now. (link)

kay. i think personally your being paranoid. the bandana hun is liek over-excessive just try getting halls for your mouth incase any germs do enter your mouth, if a teacher tries to pair you up with a sick person explain to the teacher after school you have a problem with being paired up with sick people or get one of your relatives to write a note to the school. in class also try moving seats or getting another assigned seat so you wont be near anybody sick. get hand cleansers those antibacterial ones, and get your shots so you wont get sick from common colds. being around people who are sick doesnt mean you'll totally get sick immediatly. i think you have a phobia. [:. look if somebody has a cold remember common colds do get treated easily and if you've had all your shots there's nothing to worry about. hope i helped [:
