Hi All, just wondering if anyone else has anxiety that keeps creeping up due to the Pandemic with Covid? I'm fine for a bit and then the anxiety and worry creeps in again. The Fibro gets worse when I get like this and I have trouble sleeping then. I'm a believer and try to put my trust in God but I have always been a worrier with things. I don't go out much only when necessary and constantly sanitize my hands as well as all my belongings purse, keys, wallet, phone, groceries, car, when I do go… read more

yes of course,, i dont think there was anyone that didnt have a problem. I read that anti anxiety medication prescriptions were up 30% because of the pandemic. I was awful in the beginning ,, then calmed down a bit,, then when the numbers (death toll) got really high after the holidays it was fever pitch ,, i dont think i ever left my house (but im retired so had food/groceries etc. delivered) for at least 2 months. I just got my first vaccine shot of Moderna and its like a 500lb gorilla has been lifted off my back. Im having a friend over for a swim later (masked socially distanced she gets the deep end i get the shallow end) she recieved the single shot JnJ. I also have a prescription for xanex that i do need to take on occassion during the day throughout all this... Hang in there you're not alone,, we are all feeling it,, relief is on the way
I had a big issue with anxiety at first. It settled down after a month or so into the pandemic with occasional bouts of anxiousness and whatnot.
We each deal and cope in our own way.
We with Fibro can be very prone to anxiety.
Very greatful that we have been COVID free in our area.
And few cases in surrounding area.
God bless and be safe
I have had bad anxiety and panic disorder for years before the COVID 19 pandemic. But for sure the added worry and uncertainty is an added stress and only makes the anxiety worse. I have hardly been out at all since the start of pandemic like you and now feel I am becoming agro phobic a condition I dealt with in my earlier years. I try to take time daily to pray, deep breathe and tune out disturbing news reports on media that make worry and anxiety even worse. I am also afraid of the vaccine but would lean towards the J&J as it works like the vaccines that have we are used to. God bless you.
I also suffer from anxiety and worry all the time about things that seem silly or a little bit odd later on. I can really emphasize with all you are going through as my story is similar. Please hang in there. Are you feeling any better?

Hi, I have anxiety and I've had it all my life and I am seeing a behaviorist and a phycologist too and I also take medicine as well and it does help me. As far as the pandemic I do worry but I don't let it get to me as I am all ready dealing with anxiety I have to do things that help my anxiety like take care of my ranch and garden and I also do crafting and I sew and these help to get my mine off my anxiety a lot. It also helps me to see my behaviorist and my phycologist as I can tell things them things and to get things things off my chest which helps me a lot. Hugs and Prayers to you! Mary
