Posted , 8 users are following.

hello everyone I just want to say how lucky I am to have this group because I feel like in the real world I have nobody because my friends don’t understand. how is everybody holding up with this virus? it hasn’t helped my already bad anxiety anxiety has taken over my every day life. I find myself several times a day checking my temperature with multiple thermometers I wear an Apple Watch and find myself checking my heart rate and doing the breathing exercises the pop up washing my hands to the point where they’re cracked dry and bleeding and Google and symptoms of The virus and my symptoms me . which I know I shouldn’t do since the beginning of March I have had this real chesty cough and runny nose and sometimes I feel like i cant catch my breath my mom tried to answer me it’s sinuses or allergies I I live in an area where pollen is really bad. so everybody’s having troubles with their allergies right now. but we all know how anxiety and health anxiety works you always think the worst. I stay home like I’m supposed to only go out for what we need for essentials then straight back home. my mom is still working in a doctors office. so it scares me what she picks up through the day. I know we have to take this day by day but I just wish life would hurry up and get back to normal I have a Lotta talks with God say scripture and sing some of my favorite worship songs over and over again in my head. I also keep journals even watching funny TV shows and movies. I also constantly clean my house it always smells like bleach I fear that my mom who I live with or myself would get this virus I have been having a hard time sleeping at night either not sleeping at all or waking up several times during the night or having nightmare. what are some things you do to help with your anxiety?
