I've noticed that my anxiety seems to abhor a vacuum, and as soon as I've gotten over (or really, temporarily dealt with) one thing, I become anxious about another!

Just in the past week, I was anxious about having covid (two negative antigen tests), then I had a panic attack about bedbugs when I found an unidentifiable bug in my house,\* and now I'm anxious about covid again because I have the mildest of sore throats/dry throat/lump in throat.\*\*

How do people manage this?? I'm going round the bend with it all and I can't safely take any more of my medication than I already do. Deep breathing exercises are great and everything, but I can't stop thinking about all the virus that I could be breathing in when I'm at work.

Does anyone have advice for managing this? Or at least, I could use some support/a virtual hug.

*\*98% sure it wasn't a bedbug. But I have PTSD from a real infestation I experienced a few years back. It's really fucking hard.*

*\*\*I know this could be caused by many things, including anxiety and wearing a mask for over a long time at work.*
