Hi, I am sure a lot of people will have similar fears but I have recently been getting anxiety again after about 12 years, previously I had a severe anxiety and depressive episode and have been really fortunate not to of had any ongoing issues. The anxiety this time was triggered by me having a cough, this was about a month ago and fearing it may be COVID-19, it cleared up in a couple of days and I was fine. However I became very anxious, had bad thoughts and now every time I have the slightest thing wrong with me I fear the worst, start get anxiety and wake up with panic attacks . It’s hard for many people right now so feel a little ashamed to be complaining, in many ways we are quite lucky I am married with a daughter and pets, we are fortunate enough to be safe at home.
I don’t know what do to, should I go to the GP? I have been trying some herbal remedies which do help, healthy diet no alcohol et etc and it’s not all the time - some days I will be ok, will
It just go away as society hopefully and eventually go back to normal. I know there are people on this forum which much worse problems than me, felt I needed to post.
Thanks
J
