Virus anxiety

Hi, I have suffered from anxiety for ten years now, everything was fine no meds since 2 years ago, and was having a healthy lifestyle. Due to this coronavirus everything just stopped. Have to work from home, stopped going to the gym, and family members as well as co workers have been sick. I am not sure if that’s what caused for me this week to just explode. My anxiety is at peak level terrifying that I might die and worried so much. I am not sick, and taking care of myself and my daughter so much. The fear at times is just too much. I’m trying to stop social media and news since makes things worse for me.

The Corona virus is making lots of people worried and nervous.

The way I cope is to watch the news on TV some so I can stay informed about the virus. But I don't watch the news a lot in order to not get overly-worried about the virus.

I follow the print news online so i can choose what I read. Usually, i read stories related to scientific knowledge of Covid. This lessens my anxiety, because I can change my behavior based on knowledge. Like everyone, I am anxious about Covid, but do my best not to obsess about it. And I practice safe behaviors.

I am so happy for you!!! It is like heaven to not have to deal with anxiety. I like a tea at night called "sleepy time". It has chamomile in it. It is nice at bed time, it does make you sleepy.

Have a good day!!!

Hugs, Karen...
