anyone else petrafied about this virus i know i am xxxx
yes I have awful health anxiety and it was done pretty ok until this.
Yes,my heart rate is up at least 10 beats,I have a device on my phone that measures it. I wake up and it seems so unreal,this morning I had an anxiety attack..you aren’t alone 
i totally get the angst with this CoVid 19. Scares the hell out of me!
You took the words right out of my mouth! i wake up happy,all is good. Then it hits me like a rock…what is going on. I get a deep feeling of …just a nightmare…a horrible sadness! Can barely sleep. Not into food. i feel alone because i live alone. Trying to overcome my feelings of distress! Got my paints and brushes out…this is a time to do things you have been holding off…reading,writing,art music. Thats all i have for now…sending love out you all!
I’m so with you on this, I have health anxiety so everything that’s going on has heightened the anxiety. But I have found that not reading the news online all the time has helped a lot and the breathing exercises. I’ve had to reel myself in as was getting obsessional 
but with good hand hygiene and do our part to protect ourselves we will get through it.
Yes! Not obsessing is the answer.Mind you,being informed is important. i go to you tube for that. Turn the news off! Hope you’ll be ok!
yes me too im the exact same about my health i hate it
its awful isnt it i rang 111 last night i was up until 6am tgen git a few hours sleep its so draining i get my temazepam tomorrow i cant wait hopefully take the edge of the anxiety and relax me xxx
Soon everyone will be able to be tested. If you are in a hurray see your doctor who may be able to arrange for you to take it sooner if it is suspected that you have symptoms of it.
Yes. The news freaks me out. Plus that in peri your immune system is lower. I already feel like crap. I just want it to be over with but they don’t have even enough test kits here.

I was trying to blank it out,but ya cant because it’s in ya face everywhere 
I was blanking it out,until I saw that said about, expect to lose loved ones
I’ve been having a few bad weeks with anxiety attacks,before this virus even bothered me,but now,i feel like my head is going to explode,too much to handle
hi shellofstoke, good old Boris hey! 
. to be honest I was like oh my god! pure panic.. but then I think he said that to get people to listen to do as their told with isolation to be sensible. and I do think it’s working. I work for the NHS and I have health anxiety, good mixwe’re all quite anxious at the moment its scary. but with good hand hygiene keeping away from close contact. and deep breathing!! you will get through it. try not to read every thing online as alot of it is fake news x
oh god yes!!!
my anxiety is through the roof. i over weight so my blood pressure isnt the best.
The minute i found out people with high BP and at risk i cant stop checking it.
I have bad anxiety over this..I’ve always had health anxiety which started with weird things going on in my body..doctors not knowing what is causing it and having MRI and scans and still nothing showing which has caused me to have anxiety.. I just started getting myself together again and now this coronavirus!! my anxiety over this is sky high..I have 2 children and I am constantly checking there foreheads getting up 3/4 times in the night to check..I have become obsessed with cleaning and washing my hands etc..today I have a migraine prob due to all this stress but I then started having anxiety coz a headache is a symptom but I know in my hearts it’s a migraine coz I had a picture break up and feel really sick..but then I started coughing and now I’ve fixated myself on the cough making me cough more!!! don’t know how I’m gonna cope with all this I don’t want my children to see my panicking about this either
I have also convinced myself that I have underlining health issues..because the doctors cant find what’s wrong with my body I’m scared I have some underlining health issue that they haven’t found yet!
