I am sitting here with fever and can't seem to figure out if its stomach bug as I have stomachache or if its a general flu/cold. Not gonna list all my symptoms here.

Took medications etc.

I was wondering, what changed. I remember when I was a kid and used to have fevers/colds from time to time and my mum was telling me my body temperature has risen, I've never panicked.

20 odd years later just by touching my hot face I send my self to a spiral of thoughts. "Could it be something else?, Is it kidney infection, Is it pneumonia, Is it a tumour, something with my liver?" you get the point.

How do you guys cope in situations like that? how do you rest assured you will be fine and not make it look all dark and end of the world type of thing.

Just focus on other things. Watch Tipping Point, play on the phone, go for a walk (if you're up to it), take a nap.

Anything just to take your mind off it. The less you think about it, the less you'll OVER think about it.
