It has begun this morning with a sore throat and now i think that something is terribly wrong with me. Althought i know it is most likely a common cold, some part of me is trying to convince me that I`m dying.
Physically I don`t feel so bad but I feel lethargic and out of reality, constantly overthinking all day long.
Health anxiety will never let me live in peace, never... So sick of it

It feels like it's always something, doesn't it?

For me, I started feeling sick to my stomach in the morning and all day I've been worrying about having some terrible stomach bug. If I think rationally about it, it's probably anxiety from going back to work after holiday break but still worried about all these weird sensations. Health anxiety, it makes me sick and I'm sick of it too. I feel a little lethargic too.

Best we can hope is getting through the day.

How do you cope with it? I can`t seem to find any distraction. I`m sick of sitting in front of my laptop and staring in my phone... and the weather is awful so Ican`t go out. Only thing that helps me is exercising at home

I'm at work so I just really try to focus on the work, as a distraction from anxiety. It doesn't work that well though so I find myself also staring at my computer.
