Feeling down and been crying most of the day

today has been a bad day. ive always worried about this virus but today just ive cried so much even called my doctor because ive had a sore throat and a slight cough. my temperature is 37 most of the day and he said that was a normal temperature but i cant help but panic 😪 he said i wont qyalify for a test because im not high risk group. ive a little boy aswell so my emotions are all over the place. i am so petrified over this stupid virus and to make it worse its all deaths amd new cases and they are saying even the fit and healthy its killing. dont know what to do with myself so scared 😪

im terrified of this virus too i only go out when I absolutely have too yesterday i had to go to the store was running out if things today checking my temperature around the clock this has made my anxiety so much worse i was starting to get a hold on it but that went out the window. i fear to live cause something we cant see can kill us. i pray all day everyday

It’s not going to kill you or your son.Theres billions of people on this earth, its killed a small percentage. Stop watching the news!!! Be proactive remove all processed food, sugars, whites, oils from your diet. Eat lots of organic veggies, salads, low glycemic fruit, pasture raised eggs, chicken, grass fed meat etc. Be positive your son can feel your energy and it’s not good for him. More harm will come to your body worrying and stressing. You can be tough, I promise you it’s in you.

ur so right he can and thats what i need to protect him from because i dont want him to feel sad because his only 5 it breaks my heart. thank you :sparkling_heart:

its horrible isnt it . just cannot stop being upset today. i checked my temperature all day too and when i did i could feel myself getting more hot. terrified

Take a nice walk with him, do treasure hunts in the house or outside, just activities that will distract both of you. I know it’s hard, but you can do this.

yes it’s horrible my state was the last state to get this virus so i know its gonna be a long while for it to ease off and this makes me panic more. my sister is in FL her husband sick fever 103 went to er never swabbed him sent him home he has stomach cramps headache nausea dry cough and no swabbing this i don’t understand not to swab him. i have a autoimmune disease so yea im terrified to get this virus.

When I said stay away from oils I meant processed oils that are inflammatory…
Olive oil and Avocado oil, cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil are okay…Grass fed ghee also ok.

i will do thank you so much x

me too . Temperature more then once a day .ANXIETY thru the roof . Taking extra anxiety pill . Broken ankle too . So I HAVE TO go to the dr for xrays . IF i coukd stay in , I WOULD BE GOOD .But worry about blood clot too from broken ankle .

wow i dont understand that either. hope he feels better real soon they should be giving him a test for sure. i can see why u would be terrified. i hope and pray that u stay safe and this horrible thing never shows up at your door. I think about ppl with compromised immunse systems and the elderly and it just breaks my heart. then they say it doesnt affect kids as much but then i hear so many stories. and i have a 5 year old i worry myself sick about him. Surely there is some cure out there i hope and pray Xo

i hope u feel better soon. It must be so horrible

Rachel, you are NOT going to die and you are NOT going to catch the virus. First, shut off the news, its only going to make your anxiety worse. Second, try to relax and not worry so much. You have a child that needs you to be strong. Many other things your sore throat and cough could be from. Do you have allergies or sinus problems? Reason I ask is because its pollen season, the trees are starting to bud, the flowers are starting to blossum. But pollen, mold and dust are everywhere. If you are allergic to pollen, mold or dust, it affects you kind of like a cold. your sinuses get infected and post nasal drip occurs and drips down the back of your throat causing it to become irritated and causes you to cough. This is just as likely as the corona virus. With corona you would start with a slight fever, and then your fever would shoot up in temperature in a matter of hours. So its not corona. Best bet is to relax, shut off the news, take a nice hot bath or shower. Listen to some mellow relaxing music. Drink lots of water, water defuses the mucus that is causing irritation to your throat. Stay away from caffeine and sugar as it only amplifies your anxiety. If your throat bothers you, gargle with warm salty water. You are not alone, we are all feeling heightened anxiety in this scary time of the corona virus. I have been on this forum for the last two weeks reading stories of people just like you and me having problems due to this corona virus and what its doing to their anxiety. Just know you will be fine and you are not going to die, I promise you.

omg am dealing with these issues everytime i go outside and come back in, i seem to feel sick, like i have a cold and nasal drip, i have sinus issues and i went to the ent they cant find any sinus issues but those times i dont get flare ups and i dont feel ill,but he said acid reflux can irritate your sinus but i do agree with about shutting off the news its doing more harm than good, i have 4 children and 1 with asthma and am stressed constantly. i notice ever since weather change i have been having sinus issues more and more these issues drove my anxiety up more and more especially the covid19

thank you praying for you and your son and everyone else i just pray god stops this virus in it’s tracks at this point he the only one that can and I have faith he will stay strong

yes, my sinuses act up when the weather changes as well, has something to do with the barometric pressure or something, but i know when its going to rain before it does, and sometimes the pressure is so bad it causes me to have migraine headaches that make me vomit. it is true acid reflux can and does irritate sinuses. this usually happens when i vomit, i will get food in my nose and acid and it burns like you would not believe. but i have gotten acid in my nose from just laying down and burping. so it is possible. but its pollen season and i always have a hard time in the spring and fall as far as allergies go. ragweed torments me in the summer, so winter is my best season without sinus and allergy problems. i take Clariton daily and i am thinking of switching to zertec because i read you should change allergy meds after awhile because they become less effective over long duration use. your body builds up a tolerance to the meds i guess. Omeprazole is really good at controling acid reflux, you should try it. and maybe try an over the counter sinus med just to see if it has any affect on those flare ups you have. Motrin sinus and allergy prevents that pressure build up and makes your nose easier to breath out of, at least it works for me. anyway, get back to me with any questions, i will be happy to help if i can
