When if you’re anxious and intrusive thoughts have nothing to do with your sickness? 
Is there some kind of science behind it? 
I’ve had the common cold for a week now, and just coming off of it now. 
This whole week my anxiety has been a nightmare. I’m worrying about everything around me to the point it’s making me feel even more physically sick. 
I get random anxiety attacks where I have to go outside to calm down, and where I can’t sleep. 
I been going into the shower late at night to calm myself down, and it’s just all becoming exhausting. 

I really hope this goes away once my cold is fully gone. (Which it basically is, it’s just my body basically cleaning itself out now. No more other symptoms) 

Is there anything I could do to help myself? 
I feel scared of life. I can’t stop breaking down. I feel like my head is attacking me. 

I’m going to try and exercise and do some yoga. 
I’m drinking chamomile tea. 
I’m going to try and find a book on anxiety to hopefully understand it better if that helps.
Any other suggestions please let me know.

I have no on in my life to talk to about this. No one to understand. I hide these emotions out of fear of others reactions. I have no one supportive to be here for me. 

If I can’t get better, I need to go on medication cause it’s really affecting my life. As scared as I am of meds. :(

Thank you for taking time to read all of this.
