So I am feeling really icky today and feel worse since I got home just a while ago from work. my head has felt funky all day, my chest feels like a burning tightness, my tummy has been on and off raw burning like when it's upset. like my intestines...and as I'm laying here at home I feel as a whole like I'm coming down with a bug of some sort. I don't feel feverish yet, but I definitely do not feel good. and because it feels so intense tho especially in my head I'm trying to not be anxious about it especially cuz I am here at home alone....well I have two cats lol but they can't do anything....so I am just trying to tell myself nothing bad is going on, you just don't feel good and might be getting sick but you aren't going to die or anything. šŸ˜© I swear anything that doesn't feel right freaks me out!

      Like rn my chest hurts so bad and I'm sure if it's the flu that I have then that's why...but I haven't had the flu in years so I don't remember what it feels like

      So I went to urgent care today and got tested for covid and the flu. Both were negative but she said being that yesterday was the first onset of symptoms it may be too early but she thinks it's definitely the flu based on my symptoms and I have over 101Ā° fever yesterday and again today ugh. In so much pain I feel horrible. She has started me on some medicine tho that should help if it's flu. Said I can retest covid and flu in a couple of days if I wanted to be sure, but if I start to feel better from the medicine then I know it's the flu. So I'm off work til Tuesday. šŸ˜© I barely just started my new job Monday and already missing work which sucks. But surprisingly my anxiety hasn't been an issue. I think I already feel so crappy that anxiety is the last of my worries like I know why I don't feel good so my brain just sort of shut down like I can't feed my anxiety I hurt all over.

      Hey serenity! I find breathing techniques help me figure out if it's my anxiety trying to freak me right out, or if I'm truly having trouble breathing. Also just recovering from covid, and spent 2 days just full of anxiety trying to figure out what was happening! I hope you're not sick.. keep us updated!

        @Meliss it's truly the worst. I have such bad anticipatory anxiety around eating and my health especially! Eating because of I had a bad experience months back when my a1c was prediabetic...and I ate too much sugar and had a panic attack and then it scared me about any foods so I've been working on finding a healthy relationship with food again. And then health simply because I feel so many symptoms of anxiety or just any sensation if I feel weird I'm like oh gosh wtf is this???!! Is it bad or ok will it get worse? šŸ˜© Lol I HATE anxiety man...
