Kodiak 44, I def feel like being sick affects my anxiety..so you are not alone..When we're sick, we are obviously not feeling like ourselves..so I think it's natural to feel panicky, anxious, etc..the feelings will pass as your body recovers! Feel better!
And, I especially get extreme anxiety when I have PMS...I'm sure other women on these forums can relate!

I just got over the flu. I was miserable physically and mentally. I'm finally starting to feel better so now I cang get back to work my mental health.

kodiak - i feel the exact same way...it seems when I get sick, i end up having heightened anxiety for a few weeks...
