OVER THE ROOF!!!
It’s in my mind 24/7
I am so so scared!!!
I have a sore throat, earache and so sore for over a week and keep thinking what if it gets worse? What’s if I won’t be able to breath!!.......

My anxiety is starting to relax as I come to the reality that you cannot live with this level of anxiety for the next several months to two years. I guess your body just gets used to the anxiety and calms down.

I too have sleeping issues. I've been trying 10 minute to 40 minute walks to calm down. Over Shabbos, I did one 8pm, one 1 am in the house around the dining room table for 30 minutes counting my breath or steps, the next morning at 11am, another 5pm.
I'm going out now. I think I need every 4 to 6 hours.

It's been helping. If I had an exercise bike Is use it. I'm also going to try 10 pushups.

I don’t have anxiety.

I have cv
I’m pregnant after years and years and years of IF

I’ve never made Pesach in my life (ok. In 25 years)

I live in a tiny tiny apt that I can’t imagine cleaning

But I’m not anxious. Taking it one day at a time

My anxiety is less about the virus itself and more about the idea of being cooped up, and not knowing when this will come to an end. I crave routine and predictability, the idea that this may go on for months is what is making me terribly anxious. I am a single mother, so this is probably exacerbating it, too. (Although I shudder to think what being cooped up in a bad or abusive marriage would be like.)

I too can’t sleep. I wake up all hours. At least I could take a nap during the day because I am not going anywhere.
My biggest fear is that I won’t be able to breath and they won’t have any ventilators for me.
If it would be that I would just get sick and feel so sick I would be able to handle it.

I am trying to live in the moment because if I think about the future I can’t handle the moment Sad

My anxiety is going down reading this thread! I thought I was the only one that had trouble sleeping. I typically fall asleep the minute I touch the pillow and sleep soundly. These days, I cannot sleep! I am up until 2am and then I wake at 6:30. Then I have anxiety that I am not sleeping enough.

I've never ever had trouble sleeping - ever, after babys, simchas, moving.
These days I just don't sleep.

Mine too. My anxiety is about fear of the unknown and the lack of routine.

My anxiety is due to finances or lack thereof.
My husband is unemployed due to this situation.
We have 0 income.
It’s a challenging test from HKBH.
Hope we will pass the nisayon iyh.
