I’m worried I am going to develop some type of hantavirus.. I know this post is repetitive and annoying I just need some advice. My boyfriend is an electrician and last week he was cleaning rodent poop out of a house or something. Btw we live in Southwest Florida where there’s been like 3 cases ever studied (if I’m wrong feel free to correct me.) he came home and put his dirty clothes in hamper. I picked the clothes up and put them in washer after he said he was cleaning up rodent crap and washed it in hot water. I know the only type of Hantavirus that is transmissible from human to human is Andes which I’m pretty sure doesn’t exist in rats in Florida (once again if I’m wrong pls correct me.) but I’m worried about catching a diff strain or my bf catching it. Btw i have ocd if you couldn’t tell by my anxiety and I’m a hypochondriac however in these times i feel like it isn’t crazy to think idk.

It’s been 5-6 days now, and I’m starting to come down with a cold or something. I’ve had slight muscles ache that started yesterday and right now I’ve been having that face feeling of congestion and sneezing. I also have some chills and it’s that feeling where you know you’re going to wake up sick. My eyes are also slightly burning but idk if it’s from using makeup wipes on my mascara a few hours ago that may of been expired. I feel like my mind is just in a million places right now, and I’m scared I’m going to get super sick and it be this. Once again I’m sorry for this post bc a lot of ppl have been freaking out but it’s scary to imagine. I’m going to urgent care tomorrow to test for Covid and flu anyways bc I’m def getting sick, also ppl I work with said they were starting to not feel good last week and I work in a restaurant where majority of people share vapes (definitely will not continue doing that.) so It’s prob that but yea.

I went to beach for 4 hours today and was in water for most of time . I put spf30 on like 3 times which is stipid but I got home from beach and noticed I have a bad sunburn on my back, arms and chest area. (Worst on the back.) I took advil, have been reapplying aloe and stuff but my anxiety is going crazy bc of this. I just woke up (4am) and felt like I couldn’t breathe bc I was anxious I will die from the sunburn (crazy ik.) I rarely go to beach, usually once or twice a year and don’t tan. I’ve only ever had a bad sunburn 3 years ago on a cruise when I was 18 but only had peeling no blisters etc. My anxiety’s just trying to convince me something bad will happen. I hate how it does this. 😭

The past month I’ve been struggling bad with my anxiety. I went through a stressful period of time before it started so I’m assuming it’s just my body reacting to the stress I was experiencing. For a few weeks on and off I had brain fog, head pressure and fatigue and then it went away and came back. Whenever I would go to work I’d get rlly anxious about having these symptoms and fainting or something and some days I’d be fine and other days I’d be anxious but push through. Last Friday, I went to urgent care bc my head pressure was very bad and causing neck stiffness and they told me I have an ear infection (labrynthitis) and gave me meds to take. Yesterday morning at 4am I woke up with a panic attack and felt very out of it, disoriented and it was scary. I went back to sleep eventually and then when I went in for work last night the second I got inside, it’s like all the adrenaline rushed to my head. My head was tingly, I was shaky, my head pressure was crazy and my eyes felt like they were burning. As the night went on I toughed it out bc I already left work early once last week when I went to urgent care but I’m just nervous I have a serious brain issue. I haven’t gotten scans done or bloodwork so I prob should, but can anxiety symptoms be so physical and last days / weeks it feels like you have something seriously wrong with you? I feel like a shell of myself and it’s very difficult. I understand some of the symptoms I was having can be from my ear infection but idk my anxiety just makes it feel worse I feel like.

Hello. I fell asleep at 3am ish, and my bf came home from work at 4:15. I woke up half asleep to this and then tried going back to sleep and then decided i was thirsty. I got up went to fridge while being extremely tired bc I had this huge thirst need and took a few sips of a coke in there. And then I went to grab a cup to pour water into. When I was pouring the water I got this weird vision, which prob is just my eyes half asleep adjusting to light. I went back to room and laid down (now it’s 5:00am on dot) and got this impending doom. Anyone ever wake up and start to have a panic attack? My chest felt tight and I started trying to do the 5 things I can see thing but I started worrying more that I was going to go crazy in moment (ocd told me what if the coke I drank in there had drugs in it and I start hallucinating) I live with roommates I trust ofc, but anxiety will lie yk. And that had to be what was happening. I also had bad experience / panic attack with weed after being a daily smoker so I get anxious thinking abt weed now or being around someone who’s high bc I think of how I felt. Anyways I feel a little better now but I think I should just get sleep bc I’m def over tired and it doesn’t help the anxiety. Sorry for rambling I just feel like it helps take my mind off it
