i’ve never really had too much anxiety about my health, but this year has really affected my anxiety in a lot of ways. it’s made my agoraphobia much worse due to lack of exposure, and i’ve got a bit of health anxiety about the virus. i have asthma and i’m paranoid that i might have or get covid...

i don’t have a fever, but i keep overthinking my breathing and i’ve had panic attacks about it the past few days. i think the attacks have tired me out bc my chest feels tired, which makes me more anxious about possibly having covid. sleep has been restless, waking up every couple of hours only to struggle to fall back asleep again.

i think this week has just been particularly rough for me because there is a lot of stress in my family right now with sickness too, though i’ve had no contact with them. also i will have a very heavily loaded last semester starting next week and am anxious about that, which doesn’t really help.

hoping for some peace of mind in the coming days if i can stop freaking out about getting sick and not being able to perform well in my classes.
