Feeling lost. Trapped

ive been so worried over this virus that its starting to take its toll on my anxiety on my body. i have all these symptoms. im not sure if they are anxiety symptoms. ive had sensitiviety to light, ears ringing going hot, chest pain heart racing. weakness numbness 😪 i dont know i just feel lost in my thoughts my mind is running away with itself. i found out today about this syndrom in kids related to covid. i woke up crying. my little boy is 5. i need advice please...

The mind creates symptoms . I am proof of that . I have been postive of many illnesses only to find nothing. Our minds are so powerful . I have had dizziness and fatigue convinced it was covid. I was tested and negative. Reading about symtoms the mind starts to create those . 10 years ago I was sure I had tetnus. I didnt . Lock jaw and all . Health anxiety is awful and takes your life away . The only way to put it to rest is simple but so hard at the same time. Realize bodies have aches and pains. Get to the root of the fear . Mine is fear of dying and leaving my kids . Your ok . I am sure of it

thats exactly my fear too. :pensive_face::sleepy_face:

You’re not alone trust me i feel the exact same way. You sort of lose touch of who you are because you are trapped in your mind all day. It’s so
hard to deal with and a lot of people don’t understand. i have always dealt with anxiety but with everything that’s going on mine has went into overboard

its horrible. sometimes i wish i had a button or switch and just turn my thoughts off. im so sick of it. i feel like a bad mom because of it. :sleepy_face:

wow reading your reply megan you sound just like me, I’ve been certain of things too and created those symptoms to the thing I think I have.. ever since I gave birth to my second child, I’m so petrified something is wrong with me and I’ll leave my children behind. it’s awful.. I’ve had chest pains for 12 weeks and weird pains and sensations too.. I’ve had ecgs, bloods and xrays even a ct scan on my lungs. everything always comes back normal yet I’m still convinced it’s my heart, probably the reason the pains wont go :frowning:

This is me ! I have two kids as well . Got worse after both . Im always on edge like Im about to die or get sick. Is it okay if I message you ? I have a personal question.

yes of course :slight_smile:
