Is it possible to make yourself sick with worry?

Question

My family has recently been plagued with the Stomach flu. I'm usually not too bad with contracting illnesses and don't usually freak out over the little things. But for some reason I am so worried about contracting this dang virus that I think I'm making myself sick by thinking about it so much! Is this possible? Have any of you ladies had this happen before?

Answer

Every time I hear someone has the stomach flu that I've recently been around, I immediately get nauseous 🤢 but I usually don't catch it, it's all in my head. Good luck and wash those hands!
