Hello, I'm 15 years old, and I've been living with anxiety for about a little over a year now. It all started when I got the stomach flu. It was a REALLY bad one. Then I was puky all summer long, had my gallbladder out, and the worrying about if I'm going to throw up was still there, but not as bad. Well, yes it was as bad, but the fear turned into "Am I going to die from this/that?". I've been to a counselor for help, but it didnt work much. She said I have OCD. So, now the anxiety is better, to some extent. I think it's coming back and I really don't want it to. It was controlling my life! :'( Can anyone give me advice to help coax my fears?
Right now I'm worrying about if I'm going to die because of this fever I've had for four days now. (98.8-99.5 Degrees Farenheit) (goes up and down. EX: 99.5 then 99.3 then 99.0 then 99.8 then 99.4 and so on. And in the morning it's normal, but when I get up again, it goes back up) And I can assure you all that there is NO WAY I could get AIDS. Okay?
My mum said to not worry about it, but I can't help it. Could this be serious? And why is it happening? Could it be a sinus infection? Or could it be a small virus?
