Trudy 12 Report post Posted March 26 Hi all I have health anxiety Ocd with depression. I take busprione and my Dr just started me back on my Lexapro and kolonopin (to help me calm down until the lexapro kicks in). Of course this pandemic from hell has me as well as all of you on the biggest fear trip out of our lives. My question is about depression everyone professional like my therapist and Dr. All say that anxiety and depression go hand and hand if you have one you most likely have the other. How is that so? I surely know I am a panic attack over worry queen but the depression part do I have that it seems that I am always so keyed up when would I be down? Any advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shanowl80 63 Report post Posted March 26 I’ve been coughing all day. Coughing up yellow phlegm. I have been told it’s allergies/upper respiratory infection. Doesn’t make any of this easier at all. My throat hurts so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t make any of this easier at all. My throat hurts so much. Hugs hun..it's hard for us with health anxiety.. but don't let your mind go to the virus.. remember facts. Do you have fever? Is it a dry cough? Etc.. focus on facts and tell your mind no when it tried to scare you. You are going to be okay. I really understand what you are going through. I have a little ear drainage and a sore throat, I got extreme anxiety over that this morning but I'm reminding myself of facts.. and if I went or called my Dr would she be concerned and my answer is no.
