Some advice on this note. Here& #39;s how I& #39;m dealing with weekly "OMG GOD WHAT IS MY BODY DOING" feelings ... https://twitter.com/lizzieohreally/status/1245719909323223045">https://twitter.com/lizzieohr...
When you feel terror that you might be slipping into COVID symptoms ... first try:
Taking whatever meds/interventions would help fix alternate explanations for those symptoms. Have you had allergy meds? Caffeine? Water? A nap?

Next: Think about whether the things you& #39;re feeling actually match common COVID symptoms. Watery, itchy eyes aren& #39;t a common symptom. Ditto phlegmyness. (To my most recent knowledge.)
Third: Take a minute. Sit quietly with your body and get in touch with what it& #39;s actually feeling. More than once I& #39;ve done that and been like "Oh. I& #39;m just tired."
Fourth: Just wait. I know this isn& #39;t super comforting, but like, get the extra sleep if you can manage it and see how you& #39;re feeling in the morning. I& #39;ve had days where my body was freaking me out but they seldom last beyond a day.
For some people, it will end up being COVID. But go through these steps first. For your mental health. Hope that helps.
