I just woke up at midnight with a fever

[Against_the_current]

Idk whether the fever came from anxiety overload or the anxiety overload cane from the fever. Kinda want to go home tomorrow but i changed the plan a million times. Trying to support myself and convince myself i can take care of me and don't need mom. Mom that writes emotional manipulative messages and calls me a drug addict because of my meds. Worried whether im sick because of this place and want home but then remember i have this thought every time im sick and here i can turn on the tv at midnight and be alone but home mom might be able to take care of me, no she doesn't, or she does. Inner monologue. So distorted

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please check my profile and find my post about “Psychogenic Fever”, as it is absolutely possible to feel sick and get an actual fever from anxiety. I hope you feel better soon!

Anxiety puts a lot of stress on the body which can lessen our natural immunity to viruses and infections. I would try Tylenol or Advil for fever and lots of liquids. Try to get some extra rest if possible. ❤️

something similar happened with me, i was not at my best and i shared with my mom, she’s great but couldn’t understand my mental condition. And said something which refrained myself from going there, thinking they won’t understand.

Sometimes our family become mean trying to be realistic, just like your mom told you drug addict.

You can actually go home for a day or couple telling you can’t stay long as you have work. And if you like it in there, you can stay as long as you can. Otherwise if it’s not helping you, you can come back.

And, if you need to vent out, am always there.

Hoping you get better soon.

Best wishes
