So the last few weeks have been next level stressful for me (break up with long term partner, grandma dying, pmdd period time,  changing careers, a UTI, etc) on top of the whole pandemic thing.  My ex-partner and I have been at home since March and work from home.  We only go out for groceries every other week or so and are as careful as we can be.. The last two days I've been getting these almost mosquito-bite-like hives that will pop up somewhere (neck, chest, arms, legs, scalp, literally anywhere). I'll have like three in different spots and the are itchy. But if I don't itch them, they go away. Only to have three more pop up somewhere else.

Although I've had a variety of weird anxiety symptoms, hives are not one I've experienced before. To make matters worse, I read that hives can be a covid sign. Im not experiencing any other symptoms but I am very stressed. I looked up pictures of covid hives and they look pretty intense and my hives look much more subdued. Does anyone else get hives like the ones im having when they go through stressful times or maybe had their first hives this past year because of all the stress? Also, obligatory: yes I will get a covid test if anything changes or it doesn't go away.  But I have my zoom call with my therapist tomorrow and im trying to fight off these negative thoughts and this one is a doozy!
