So last week, I started having a fever, headaches, and fatigue, and it turned out I had Flu A. I haven’t been to school in over a week because I swear I have no idea what’s wrong with my body anymore. The fever and other symptoms have gone away, but I’ve been dealing with this horrible anxiety that just won’t go away no matter what I do.
I constantly feel like I’m about to take a really important exam or go through the most nerve-wracking situation of my life. It’s like my body is stuck in a constant state of nervousness, and I can’t relax. Does anyone else feel this way?
My brother-in-law, who also had the flu, told me he felt the exact same way, super anxious and on edge, and that he still hasn’t fully recovered from that feeling even though he had the flu two weeks ago.
Another thing is that whenever I try to fall asleep, I can’t seem to focus on actually falling asleep. It’s almost like I have multiple people in my head thinking for me, or like my brain is trying to process a million different thoughts at once. I genuinely don’t know how to explain it. Please, someone tell me you understand what I’m talking about because I feel like I’m going crazy.
