Im suffering from anxiety for some time. When I got wisdom tooth pain my anxiety went down. I was like...What ???? Maybe a coincidence.
Yesterday i got a bad sickness feel and coldness, flu like.
Today.....no anxiety.
So what is going on ?

Hi prider90 the reason why anxiety go,s when we get sick or pain is are mind isn't thinking about anxiety , we more consentrate on what we're feeling if that makes sense , ,
Your bidy in fight or flight search for danger..for something to validate its response. When you are sick, although it wont last long, your "anxiety" goes down because it found what it can validate as the issue. Also you feel like poo and are too tired to give a hoot to feed into all of it. It actually doesnt work out well with respiratory stuff though once the cold settles in the anxiety goes back up.
Hi Prider,
The moral of your story is: Prider is capable of focusing on reality to the exclusion of intrusive false thoughts.
You have a good intuition
You are aware of yourself.
You are able to draw a true conclusion.
Nice job!
