Hi

You know in your head that it's only anxiety, now you have to make yourself believe it. My hubby used to work away for weeks and id be panicking badly. I convinced myself i was gonna die at home and nobody would find me til he got back. Then i started to think well hes back, and im still here, nothing bad happened.

Well done for saying flu......if it was me id had swine flu, pneumonia and hypothermia by now lol.

PM me if you need to chat ok?

Hope you feel better soon

I too had the flu before Christmas and now my anxiety is the worst it has ever been. I have always managed to function daily and hide it from everyone and to a certain extent control it. But after this flu it has taken over me completely and I feel I have lost the battle and don't have the energy to fight. I know how you feel.
The flu can upset all the chemical balances in your body and that is why you are feeling so bad. It is that horrible virus. Have you seen your Doctor and are you taking any meds? You will be alright just hang in there. Your body has taken alot of energy fighting the illness and just needs time to recover. You will be OK and you can do this xxxxxx
