Covid Anxiety

Golf23

So just got over having covid, but now I seem to be more anxious about being in public spaces than prior to getting it. 

Has anyone else had this?

  • I can completely understand how you're feeling! I have clinically vulnerable family so the pandemic has been extremely difficult for me to process/navigate as I was already socially anxious but this added a whole new fear into the mix. I caught covid a few months ago and it has terrified me even more as I most definitely don't want to catch it again and am afraid of catching and spreading it unknowingly. 

    The only thing that slightly reassures me is that I still wear my mask when out in public, keep a hand sanitiser in my bag, wash my hands regularly and thoroughly, stay distanced from others and open windows where possible for ventilation, lessening my risk of catching it again!
