Hi everyone, I few months back I was diagnosed with a serious illness. There was a small but not insignificant chance that the disease would enter my nervous system and wreck havoc on my cognitive and/or motor function. Thank heaven, I recovered and have been feeling better for some time. However, ever since my symptoms went away I have been feeling intense anxiety about the disease relapsing or that it’s somehow still lurking in my system, waiting to strike. Let me be clear, I am not showing nor have I ever shown any signs of the disease being chronic and my doctors are confident about my recovery as well. The bacteria that entered my system is dead, dead, dead. But I’m still haunted by this terror of getting sick again. I’ve already struggled with my anxiety for years before this and now it’s just having a field day. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I’ve heard that people who’ve gotten covid sometimes feel this way too. Thanks everyone.
