I currently have mono. Was diagnosed a week ago. Today I started feeling n, and my legs feel weak and I’m going to the bathroom a lot. I’m panicking so much because my brain is doing what it does best: jumping to worst case scenario in under a second. What if I do v? What if I v and can’t stop? What if I have to go to the hospital and they have to do painful invasive things to stop the v?

My mind is just everywhere right now and some reassurance would be great. In the meantime I’m trying to use distractions but the second a particularly bad wave of n hits, it stops working.

I had to go to the emergency room the other day. While I was there, I saw a woman in a wheelchair who was getting sick repeatedly. Definitely freaked me out, and made me wonder a lot of things: What happened to her? Is it contagious? What if I’m next? What if she had to get painful treatment for it (like a damn ng tube or something barbaric like that)? What if she’s still getting sick (it’s now 2 days later)?

I just can’t stop thinking about her. Not to mention I’m afraid I caught something from her. Does anyone else ruminate on stuff like this even if it’s a stranger?

Hey everyone! So I just checked the “removed posts” queue and a few posts and comments seemed to be automatically removed by reddit for “spam” and some of them I’m really not sure why. The only thing I’ve removed is comments from a nasty troll who just came in to harass another user.

If your post or comment was removed for no reason, please send us a modmail and we’ll approve it! We don’t want people to feel ignored, ever.

Thanks for reading!
