Anyone else do this? Lol

I’m kinda freaked out about this virus lol. I wasn’t before and my mom like always came in and kept talking about it despite my attempts to get her to shut up and she told me the symptoms (which I didn’t want to know for reasons I’m about to talk about) I’m a really bad hypochondriac and I’ll literally make myself feel like I have all of the symptoms and I was just seeing if anyone else out there does this too? Of course it’s good to be cautious and careful but it’s sucks being afraid that you’re going to die. I had to go to the hospital not too long ago because I felt like I couldn’t breathe and done to find out it was anxiety, and I’m trying to remind myself that’s all that this is. Is anxiety. I’ve been really careful I even keep Lysol wipes in my car 😂

Hi misfitt.

I do not do that but it is does happen that those studying in school about diseases, can start to fear they have or will get the disease. I do that too.

If you are careful, stay 6’ away from people, and follow the guidelines, you are unlikely to get covid 19.. If you get it, you probably won’t die unless your immune system is compromised or you are frail and elderly, which you aren’t.

Try to stay busy and optimistic. I think we will conquer this. I stay informed.

Then I occupy my mind with anything else. Times are difficult now for lots of us so we need to use any little trick we can not worry about what is going on.

Take care. We can get to the other side of this .

Know that you are not alone. There are definitely others who feel the same way..it is much worse, but reminds me of the idea of knowing that there is a bug in the room makes your skin itch and feels like it might be on you. Continue to be careful and follow the guidelines.

One of the things that helps me is knowing that there is a Sovereign God in charge of all of this and the hope that I have of eternity. If something happens, I know that I have no need to fear death.
