I'm in a right state here.. Anxiety related

I have health anxiety. I also have asthma and have been told that I need to Self isolate for 12 weeks. No signs or symptoms Just due to my 'vulnerability' I need shielding. I'm happy to do this.
I've had a massive headache all week and flushes of hot temp. I've been working. I've been thinking I'm being a drama llama and the symptoms were all in my head.
My throat has been burning and getting sore. I've just looked in the mirror and my throat is covered with white lumps. Ffs. Why why why now?!
I'm terrified that I'm going to catch CV but my immune system won't cope. I feel sick and beyond anxious.
Please please someone talk sense into me. I feel like I'm an inch away from a breakdown. And now really isn't the time for that!

Hello, I’m sorry you are feeling poorly. And anxious
Do you live alone?

Remember it's much more likely to be a simple sore throat (which can still be very sore!) as all our common bugs are still doing the rounds too. You're clearly stressed and headaches can be stress related.

Please try to stay calm. Hand holding. Can you put on some meditation music on Youtube? I find it really helps me when I get anxious.

Thank you. Nope a DH (who has Ostrich syndrome) and 2 kids.
I'm so rarely poorly! Why now?! Shock

I think it's tonsillitis due to the spots and the burning sensation. I think some music and bed sounds good. Will it affect my immune system?
Thank you x
