Sick and Panicking

Hi guys! It’s been a while since I’ve been here...I had been doing pretty well in controlling my anxiety for a bit. 

But right now I’m sick with the cold or flu and I haven’t been sick for a long time. I can feel my fever and it’s making me have really bad panic attacks to the point where I don’t want to even get up to use the restroom. I have some cold medicine but have a really big fear of taking any meds. It’s been well over a year since I’ve even taken an ibuprofen and I used to not have issues with that. I don’t know what I’m looking for. Maybe just some comforting words. Do you guys get panicked over getting a fever or taking medicine? 

I am so sorry u are panicking. I am at the moment too. I drank the other night and the hangover gives me anxiety. Going on day 2 of panic and I’m just scared I am going crazy or wil never get well. I know what u mean about scared to go to the bathroom. I am the same way! I will really have to go but scared to get up from my safe place (even though I don’t really feel safe) lol. I hope u feel better soon 

Im glad to hear youve had a grip on your anxiety. I also panic over meds or get extremely anxious depending on what the medication is. This is Especially because my 1st panic attack was induced by taking a fat burner. If you have the flu or have a fever you will feel hot. You may be associated these feeling s of heat with an adrenaline rush which also makes you hot. But rember you have a reason to feel unwell and your body is fighting the sickness so you wont feel your best. Also know if you're having boosts of adrenaline its because your bodys immune system is fighting off the sickness and you should embrace it and ride the wave. Tell yourself adrenaline is to keep me alive not to kill me. And dont over think!! If you do i recommend mindful meditaion. But just know youve gone theough worse and you got a grip on it. And you will get a grip on this as well.
