Scared of dying from the Flu

[HypoAlexChondria]

I'm really terrified that I might die from

[HypoAlexChondria]

I feel like I might be developing it, I've felt like crap since yesterday, I don't have a fever or anything yet, but I feel weak and I'm breaking into cold sweats walking around.

Yes that sounds like true flu, it's time to pamper yourself, put yourself first, take it easy, stay in the warm, do nothing except watch tv with a duvet to cover you on yoyr couch. And No you won't be coming in to work today, Boss, do you want me to give it to everybody else? Oh, and don't forget the Night Nurse capsules and the Day Nurse capsules, plenty of them.

If it's not flu it's your nervous system doing a pretty good impression of the flu. In which case accept the symptoms calmly and without adding second fear to first fear to give your over-sensitised nerves a chance to recover.

Either way you can forget about dying, nobody ever dies of anxiety, never have, never will, and nobody dies of flu these days either, unless you're very, very, very old which you clearly aren't.

So although you're feeling rough you've nothing to worry about, everything WILL be alright, it's all going to be fine I assure you. Best wishesfir a speedy recovery.

Flu develops quickly with a cough, sore throat, aching muscles and temperature, if you don't have those then it's unlikely to be flu, probably just a virus and anxiety.
