Very sick

Hey guys, I'm here with an update. I got some virus, I can't tell really what it is. It's probably a bad cold, but here's the thing- I'm absolutely terrified of becoming sick. Especially if it comes to vomiting or feeling nauseous, I will go into full panic and even start violently twitching and be delirious until those two symptoms pass. SO as you can imagine, this first day of being sick hasn't been great. If anyone can help me to calm down, or be here to ride this out with me it would be so immensely helpful. I'm so grateful to this community for always being here for me, you are all so lovely.

I suggest you try to relax as much as possible - maybe some deep breathing. There are many relaxation videos on YouTube. You need something to distract yourself from any physical symptoms of the virus. Of course, see a doctor if you really think it's bad, but panicking is just stepping on the gas pedal when you need to hit the brake instead.

I hope you feel better soon.
