Thankyou, these are really helpful pieces of advice.
Wow!! Fantastic, well done!Thankyou, these are really helpful pieces of advice.
However, after crying all afternoon thinking it was a terrible interview. I GOT THE JOB
I’m more happy about the fact I won’t need to attend any interviews anytime soon rather then the fact I got the job
if you have mild covid it can take 2 weeks to go. Keep up the self care and make sure you rest, don’t try and accelerate the process. Anxiety is awful. I have it, it is so debilitating. You need something to take your mind off it….I have covid at the moment and my anxiety is through the roof. Has anyone else experienced this? I think I'm just frightening myself because I'm a week in now and no better and am afraid of being sick for ages and thinking awful things about long covid etc
Thank you. Am taking it easy and doing as little as possible, but I'm really tired with it too, so that doesn't help, though I suspect part of the tiredness is anxiety as well. I'm hoping that I'll improve in the next week or so. I keep hoping that I'll wake up every morning and it will be better, but no joy so farif you have mild covid it can take 2 weeks to go.

That’s the ticket!Thank you. Am taking it easy and doing as little as possible, but I'm really tired with it too, so that doesn't help, though I suspect part of the tiredness is anxiety as well.

In the meantime I'll just think about what to do with Martin's stethescope
I suffer with anxiety (especially health anxiety) but weirdly I've never been worried about covid. I got it for the first time in May and it left me absolutely exhausted. I went back to work on Day 6 and I thought that might be why I was so tired but eventually I started feeling better after about a fortnight. My husband was also really tired when he had it and he took a fortnight off work but still felt tired when he returned. It's a virus and virus' do cause you to feel ill. I had a virus years ago that lasted 8 weeks and I felt much worse with that virus than I did with covid. Try not to panic and just assure yourself that the symptoms are all normal and nothing to worry yourself about and you'll start to improve soon.Thank you.

I don't get the social anxiety (until after an event when I think oh god they'll think I was an idiot) but I'm like you with the irrational anxiety - never worried at all about covid, government, cost of living etc it's almost like I can easily manage those things.... but the past issues I've gone through trigger anxiety issues which I'm going through now (some rational I.e being bullied as an adult by some absolute fool when I did go out at the weekend...and some not i.e ill lose my job and house - with no backing for either of those). I did an online consultation with my GP earlier for meds again. Feel like ive failed by doing so (anxiety yay). CBT didn't work for me either and I've tried 3 different therapists in the hope that they were just naff? Lol meditation and gratitude worked for a while but now I'm at a heightened state again ...they may aswell not exist.
Same here. I am very anxious about going anywhere because I am afraid I will start panicking, act « weird », etc. And it does feel so unfair to not be able to live your daily life without anxiety.
This is exactly like I get when I’m struggling. I used to get dizzy and faint all the time when I was at my worst. It’s definitely improved since I’ve gone on medication! My doctor put through betablockers as well as an SSRI and they help with the physical effects very well!
Not trying to diagnose you haha but intrusive thoughts like this can come from ocd. Sometimes my ocd thoughts can convince me I have done all sorts, like hitting someone with my car, or breaking things in shops like glass jars is another random thing I have. Makes me so anxious like I absolutely have to go back and check for the peace of mind, the compulsion to check can be part of ocd x
I think it depends what happened but you probably have to ask yourself if you really sorted it or if it’s the right relationship for you. It’s almost like PTSD when I’ve felt like this in the past because those feelings from the time come flooding back.
Would it help to talk about it?
I go back and forth thinking I have OCD. Had to double check if it is really only anxiety
