I have MAJOR anxiety over this whole corona virus thing...

Before anyone laughs/makes fun of me...I suffer from BAD anxiety. I’m also a bit of a hypochondriac, so if I sit there and read/watch things about the corona virus (specifically what the symptoms are) I start to over think and then start feeling like I can’t breathe, that I may have it, etc. I literally have a bit of a sore throat (hardly) and a bit of a stuffy nose and after reading about it I’m scared I have it...I hate feeling this way!

It’s honestly horrible and is taking over my life right now. I have a 18 month old so I’m extra worried. I have to bring him to the doctors in a couple days to make this worse.

For some reason today I feel so nervous and scared about it that I can’t sleep. My chest has butterflies and I feel like I can’t catch my breathe due to the anxiety/over thinking.

To make it worse, I’m going on a vacation in a month and I kinda want to cancel it.

If anyone can help out my mind at ease. Again, I know this may sound ridiculous to others, and believe me I feel stupid for even feeling this way...but with my anxiety it’s really bad. I’m genuinely scared shitless and convinced something bad is going to happen.
