Hi Chris
What are you taking for the cold - look at the ingredients, some cold remedies have caffine in them, which wouldn't help with the anxiety.

Yes, terrible. I think it just makes me feel out of control, and vulnerable. Plus, of course, drives my health anxiety through the roof. Are you anxious about the cold itself, or perhaps just being run down makes your other anxieties worse?
