Hello, I literally feel bad all the time. Whether it's feverish, achy, tired, nausea, full of anxiety, blocked sinuses, insomnia and bad quality sleep and much more. I'm struggling so much, every other night or so I can't sleep, then the nights when I do sleep I wake up early and can't go back to sleep because I feel terrible which triggers my anxiety. With all this coronavirus stuff going on im always worried I could have contracted that, even though I know that's not likely. But I'm only 24 and relatively healthy so I wouldn't have thought it would affect me as much. I've keep going through stages where I have no appetite and will happily not eat for a whole day, to the point where I feel sick because I haven't eaten, but I just can't bring myself to eat either! I'm just really struggling, I don't think I have anything serious, I feel like its just general anxiety taking over but I can't help it 😢 I needed to get this off my chest and if anyone is experiencing the same stuff please reply and let me know how you handle it. Thanks for reading
hi,
you have said how i feel.
i had anxiety when it all started and i have been the same. this week i feel even worse exhausted, achey, feels like im so ill, headache and cant eat.
im 26 and conviced im not well or going to die, i wake everynight its a nightmare.
i need some advice to so will be following
I too feel like this on and off, especially first thing in a morning which is basically an agonising experience every day. The thing I would say is what are the essential things you need to do every day? get food on the table, keep the place as clean as you can and washing done - these you must do as a starting point every day, even if it is a painful struggle which it is - if so go slower, take regular short periods of rest (but not sleep), also try a variety of things for short times eg I study
history, even read a biography or some other book - the more you start to look away from yourself, the better, but its hard and you will have to make a quality decision to do it and stick with it through the pain. When you find things painful to do, remember that the rewards always follow the hard work which comes first, if you persevere you’ll have a nice tidy house which makes you feel better and you’ll learn resilience at the same time.
Try just to focus on one day at a time, don’t look back, neither look forward, give today your best - there are millions of us in the same boat, look at the poorer countries of the world, how do they cope?
It’s just horrible isn’t it. Wake up feeling ill, un-rested,l and anxious. Worst part is we can all remind ourselves it’s anxiety but that doesn’t help the situation. If you can’t eat you can’t eat. Even if you try your best you just feel sick.
It’s Hard to stay positive through times like this.. I can assure both you and me though that we are not dying 
I tend to be worse with the mornings. And I agree that doing the little, day to day things can really help in the long run. Although it’s hard to gain the strength to do them. And as much as I agree the poorer counties must be even worse, however it’s unfair on both us and them to compare one another.
I’ve been trying my best to keep occupied. It’s just been difficult when you feel so horrible everyday 
wow! this is exactly what i wanted to write !
since lockdown i feel i have had a dry or sore throat comtinously!! i just feel great some days and then this week like crap again! exhausted and emotional and achy. i feel my throat is swollen but it isnt and headaches and like i need to take a deep breathe. feel bit off balance and like im hot but im not! even had my chest listemed to and my heart as i was convinced it must be corona or heart attack or bad lungs s but all clear ! it feels so draining ! i have health anxiety and am making aure i do things and keep gojng but the symptoms are still there !!
Yes this is me right now too. Although I decided 2.5 weeks ago that I should go back onto 10mg citalopram fir anxiety as I had a breakdown around 3 years ago and ended up being prescribed this medication and it did eventually help me to overcome it. Its such a abnormal situation we’re in right now. We’re physically and mentally doing less to distract our brains from worry and negative thoughts so it’s no wonder. It will pass I promise. If you’re really struggling then talk to your GP they can recommend lots of strategies to help. You can go down the medication route if that’s something you are open to, also depending where you are from u can self refer for talking therapy with vitaminds.
Honestly exactly the same as me.
You said about taking a deep breath, do you mean as in like you need to take a full deep breathe but can’t? As I get that alot!, it’s horrible feeling like this, especially as we got This corona stuff going about now too. It’s not a great time for those of us with such anxieties
I’m from London! I’m sure there’s alot of things like that around here so it’ll be worth looking into 
as for medication, I was offered sertraline about 3/4 years ago but never used it. And have had my ups and downs since then but easily bareable, now however it feels like it’s just coming back. I know I can do this myself, but it’s just hard when you’re in the heat of it all
sounds silly but you need to drink more water. It will lubricate your dry throat and make you feel better. The weather has been weird and they air is filled with pollen and mold spores all if which can and will irritate your already dry throat. Just try drinking more water, it will help. It helped me.
Oh yes 100% agree. When your going through it, it’s all. Consuming, it’s hard very hard to keep positive, that takes so much strength, and even the strongest of people can’t even manage it. At the end of the day, our brain is very complex, it determines every reaction, emotion and feeling. It’s hard to rewire a brain, but it can be done. Keeping positive will help you heal quicker and so will talking to people. On here or even people your close too.
