Hello anxiety sufferers!

My anxiety is worse since I tested positive in March this year. I thought I was feeling lot better and recovered but since last Wednesday, it's all back again. I have been off sick work in the last 5 months. Before then I have been working from home due to Covid so did my partner. I am using Mirtazapine, Paroxetine and Propronolol. Covid is still terrifies me despite having both of my vaccines. I try to go to the shops, cafes etc but not feeling fully comfortable as not many people wearing a mask. I found this forum in the hope to meet with fellow anxiety sufferers. Thanks

    Hi there,

    Sorry you are feeling so anxious. Did I understand correctly from your post that you have in fact had covid?

      Hey Sasical,

      Yes, I did back in March. My anxiety is pretty bad since the positive test result. I feel like anxiety is going to kill me (give me a heart attack, stroke etc). Its horrible:(

      I think we are under this blanket of what we feel is doom and gloom of covid and our generation has never experienced anything like this. I was just telling someone this evening that covid stopped me from dreaming and by that I mean I feel like I have to hide under a rock and wait until it's over to have hopes and dreams again. But without dreams your devoid of hope. I have had health anxiety for many years and covid definitely hasn't helped that at all. At the beginning of covid lockdown I had to have emergency surgery followed by 2 more surgeries in 2020 I understand the fear that surrounding it. it's hard to try and overcome.

      I always had a health anxiety but was managed to cope with it until Covid. Now each and every symptom that I have make me think that I have Covid. I had diarrhea last Saturday and my stool is still weird. I am terrified of all sort of illnesses and serious diseases, keep looking at my stool. It's horrible
