Sick and panicky

[abbyholmess]

Does anyone else get way more anxious when you're sick? I have a terrible cough and cold and keep having panic attacks

If I am already in a vulnerable phase with anxiety, then getting sick can exacerbate it.

I am sick to :-( but I actually stay.more calm ,only sometimes out breath but I try to calm.down ,I don't want to get worst lol watch a movie or something that motivate you, watch Joyce Meyer videos .

Yes for sure. Most anxiety sufferers are always anxious about their health and small symptoms that pop up. Once your truly sick it runs you down even more and tends to make you worry even more. You just have to tell yourself that your just sick and it happens to everyone every year. You have to realize that your not gonna feel your best and just try and take it easy and use it as an excuse to baby yourself lol.

I don't even have health anxiety!! I know it's just a stupid cold. But my anxiety is suddenly out I control about school and such

School sucks. Luckily I am done with it forever. But I realized that for all the time I spent worry about test, assignments, ect. it didn't help anything. All you can really do is try your best and let go. Stress and worry won't get you a better grade. Worst comes to worst you don't pass a class or something of that nature. It is not the end of the world there are much more important things in life to worry about.

I'll try to keep that in mind. Thank you!
