Dealing with GAD during Covid

I had badddd anxiety throughout Covid for other reasons, but the only thing that helped me was deciding that I needed help. Once I got a therapist and psychiatrist everything changed. If you cant afford it, I would look up DBT stuff. That‘s where I started and would HIGHLY recommend

At the beginning of the pandemic I had the same fear. I stayed home for more than 2 months, ordered groceries and food online and left my apt only to take out the trash. When I finally went out it felt like the apocalypse. I wore two masks, gloves, and stayed away from anyone. Over time, I got my two shots, and started to fear less. I still have my issues, but I’m working on it with my therapist

I agree with Jdubs. Hearing news really made my anxiety worsened so I’m trying to stay off of it too. I try to do things that I love such as taking walks and meeting friends in open spaces. Try to keep on your daily routine while still being careful

Same here! I’m young and in pretty decent shape but I’m the same way. I take Ativan on occasion when it gets really bad. Tried taking other anxiety meds and they make it worse. I try to stay off the news and media stuff as that makes it much worse. Hoping you find a great solution soon!

Just knowing Jesus helped me through covid I have the health anxiety crap to.
