Good evening all,
I'm having pretty big issues with what I think is anxiety. I think it has come from drinking far too much recently but I dont know what to do or where to go.
I had a weekend on the booze leading into a week off. My cousin was on taxi duty and he ended up testing positive for covid the day after. I woke up the next day obviously feeling rough but then auto when into the mode of thinking i had covid. I felt confused, anxious, cold, hot, couldnt sleep and when i woke up in middle of night went into panic mode thinking i would be awake all night, this was for 2 days/nights.
Yesterday evening i started feeling ok, same this morning but then i ate, felt slightly off and fell back into a spiral of thinking I'm ill and back into panic mode.
I'm pretty certain its all in my head, my wife says just dont think about it but it just doesn't seem that simple, i just feel like scratching my skin off
Im at a loss, already worrying about sleeping tonight and sitting their stressed tomorrow. Some time off work this has been.
Mainly I'm worried this will never get better
