I Am Scared, Can't Eat Sleep Or Work - Mental Health Message Board

Anxious D · 02-04-2005, 04:35 PM

I had a very low risk sexual encounter with a high risk girl (mutual masturbation)

Every HIV expert and Doctor I speak to say my risk of transmission was Nil.

However, I am having night sweats, fever and all the symptoms related to the disease.

As a result, I cannot get it out of my mind. It has not been long enough to test and I am still having profuse night sweats and other symptoms. So I can't find out if I have it.

Everyone thinks I am crazy, but it is difficult me imagining that I don't have it.

Can anyone help me?

Here's what Ive told myself. What the worst that can happen I'll die. We all die someday anyway and whether you do or dont have aids you could walk out your door get in you car and be killed in an accident. The point is when it's our time to go, it's our time. Live each day like it's your last for it maybe. Good Luck and dont worry

It could be that you have flu + anxiety. Don't assume the worst.

Hi,
You may be suffering from an "anxiety disorder". Is this the first time that you have felt like this. Usually, a person with an "anxiety disorder" experiences more than one episode of anxiety. Just a thought! A good therapist or psychologist could help you to diagnose whether this is your problem or not.
God loves you and so do I, Sally B.

I have been diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder. But night sweats are not usually a symptom of this disease.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope I can get through this
