Corona virus anxiety 🙄

[misfitt]

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 😂

It's going to be ok!!! The wipes are a great thing lol !!!

Hi misfitt, Rob-B1 is right, in that it's going to be ok...It's going to have to

run it's course and will slowly taper down. The best we can do right now is

to take necessary precautions and not get tied up in focusing on the negative

thoughts too much. There are some things in life that we have no control over.

With this comes acceptance right now that this is the way it is but won't always

be that way. Right now, just as with anxiety, we need to change how we respond

to the situation at the moment.

Some of us who have dealt with anxiety are at an advantage in that we have

learned different techniques and have tools to calm our mind and body over

fear. After all, we have spent most of our lives living in fear and the fight or flight

response. Pull up your reserves in what life has taught you and you will be able

to accept what happens. One day at a time, you aren't alone. xx

I think there is millions of people right now that panic over something small like a pain in the little toe , thinking they have the virus . I got a cough and it tripped me out a little , but an hour of my being a pussy , and over thinking it, I am back to not giving a crap . Think the media is getting everyone all worked up

I was self isolating with my mother then one of the relatives came by I did advise her not to but because she is well healthy says ok since her visit I alwaz fear that she passed anything on to us and the news alwaz scares me so I try not to watch it but even the slight headache mks me paranoid and even more so one of my relatives who I have not seen over mth has the symptons which suddenly appeared overnight she is healthy and took all precautions when out and now she is really ill I hope there will be a cure soon

I was just about trying to control my anxiety until the virus appeared It’s because I watch the media so I am trying to avoid it we all fear from fear of the not knowing but we should all have faith that this will go by and another virus written in the history books
