Hey everyone thanks for sharing all of your stories, it’s helped to see how supportive this community is.

Back in December, I had a bad case of Covid-19. I was almost hospitalized, my oxygen levels were very low and got pneumonia on top of that. Obesity didn’t help.

Ever since I recovered, I commenced my health journey and have been on a low carb diet/ have been working out at the gym quite a bit. I’ve lost a lot of 
 weight and feel much healthier than before getting Covid.

I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine almost 3 weeks ago. My second dose is scheduled for this Saturday. I decided to get vaccinated because I couldn’t handle the anxiety I had from being afraid of getting Covid again, and also getting the delta variant.

I thought I was over the Covid anxiety, but tonight I developed a mild sore throat, along with a mild congestion. It almost feels like I’m about to get a cold or something. I haven’t been able to sleep because of my anxiety. I cannot handle the thought of the possibility of having Covid again, especially if it’s the delta variant. 

When I get anxiety, depending on how bad it is, I get a bad case of nervous stomach. So tonight, I have been kept awake with anxiety shivers and wanting to throw up. I have been doing my best to not get to this point of my anxiety. 

As of right now, my throat and congestion have gotten better after the cold medicine I took. I just can’t sleep because of this anxiety. Am I over reacting ? I need some peace of mind.
