I am sick and I was severely neglected and no needswere met. Being sick I am more anxious and can't protect myself as well. I know, I am a grown up now but it is such an innate response. So I am scared and need to feel better so I will be less scared.

Wisewoman,
Little steps my dear. That is the best advice I can give. I know what it is like to feel like you just want to hide because it seems as though you cannot do anything for yourself.
If you can simply feed yourself daily if you have not been then that is a step in the right direction. Do not try to overwhelm yourself or else the anxiety will be worse.

What makes me most anxious when I'm ill is not knowing what I have. Flu and a cold I can handle. Other symptoms, I can't. It's the not knowing that drives me nuts.

Shakes, I think it was, that mentioned not eating. You haven't been, except for fruit. You suppose what you have is an allergy to some of the fruit you've been eating? Maybe too much of one thing? Check your recent diet out and see what you think.

I mentioned echinacea last night. DON'T take it with an anti-biotic or anti-viral medication. They just cancel each other out. Concider taking a multi-vitamin if you just can't get yourself to eat a more varied diet.

In the meantime, know that we're concerned about you and are sending positive thoughts your way. being ill makes me anxious

Thanks for the support guys. As for the eating, I am taking a multi vit, cod liver oil, and b complex at the advice of my doc. Trying to eat veggies too, had a shake with soy protein, blueberries and a bananna when I got home. I just have had this awful taste in my mouth since last med increase and get sick to my stomack when I see or smell certain things. Thanks for the kindness.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{WW}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sounds like you got the tiger by the tail! being ill makes me anxious Now you've got to snag some patience as it flies by so you can hang in till you're all better. Tell your dr about that bad taste in your mouth. It could be cotton mouth from the meds or you could be in ketosis from not eating properly. He'll be the best judge of that.

Know that I care! being ill makes me anxious

Let me know how it goes, ok?
