I have been driving myself mad with the fear of getting sick . I just hate sickness . When I do get sick I get in such a state . I just want it to stop. Any advice on how to stop ? As I am waking myself up with anxiety so stupid really !!!
Medication the way forward ? My therapist and I was talking about the fear and that fired the anxiety !!!

Maybe odd. I have similar thoughts because I have autoimmune and viruses wipe me out. People who know me think I am paranoid. I call it survival. My body declines with every illness. Medication might help but I'm choosing to be cautious with being around ill people, avoiding them. As long as you are rational and not going OCD you will be fine.
The sickness bug would also make me ill in other ways dizzy etc as I also have other health conditions . Not OCD and I visit people when there ill . Just the anxiety when trying to sleep . I am glad I am not the only one
If you can't sleep, that contributes to mind madness. Maybe your doctor can prescribe something to get sleep. Assuming you have tried things (health permitting) like relaxing warm tea, warm milk, or Epsom salt bath before bed. A comfortable sleep environment helps too. I wish you calm rest.
