Corona anxiety

[MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee]

Does anyone else feel a low level of mild panic / anxiety ? I’m not usually an anxious person but have an anxious knot in my stomach that I can’t shift. Went out to the doctors today for a jab having not been out for 2 weeks and was amazed and surprised by the anxiety levels. Nhs and key workers you are amazing !

I suspect we are all feeling pretty much the same. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel when I next need to leave the house, we'll all be agoraphobic..

I’m very much like this. Not given to panic or anxiety, but am spending much of my time feeling terribly anxious and tearful. DH suggested ringing the doctor (so it must be bad as usually he would just roll his eyes) but I don’t want to bother them when they are so busy. Plus, there isn’t actually anything they can do - I’m anxious and tearful because there is a dangerous virus, life for everyone has completely changed and many people are struggling financially. A few tablets isn’t actually going to make any of that better.

I guess it’s probably a fairly normal reaction to what’s happening - just wanted to check I wasn’t going quietly mad here !

Me too. I think it is the out of control feeling. I generally like to be in control of everything and I feel very anxious about my lack of it. The only thing I can control at the moment is the food which is causing big problems. But. Yes. I feel anxious worried and scared.

Me too, was going ok up until today and hit a wall. Suddenly feel very scared and helpless, just want to get through it and know my family are ok. Having a headache doesnt help!
