Hello! Thank you for reaching out. Your concern on your health is completely understandable. The current scenario has been emotionally and mentally harrowing due to the virus, its mutations and several other surrounding factors. Your worries are justified in these situations. You only want what is best for yourself. And that is absolutely okay. It can be very frightening to deal with the uncertainty and worries about bad things happening to yourself in this situation when everything around us feels like catastrophizing. We understand it can be very difficult to deal with constant worries. However, being rational during these situations can be helpful. Solution based exercises - create a list of pros and cons. When you are done, look at the list and rate them based on what is realistic and unrealistic. Then, look at the things you can do to feel less worried- like talking with your parents, or something else. ‘How likely’ activities - Use the question- ‘how likely is this to happen to me?’ to catch yourself whenever you start thinking down this rabbit hole. - Replace these negative thoughts with something that you can affirm to yourself: ‘I am on my own journey’ or ‘My life situations are different than others’. Try to engage in mindful activities - deep breathing exercises, cooking, art, dance, singing or anything that interests you to stay in the flow and focus on the activity you are doing. Grounding - grounding essentially asks you to focus on your here and now, i.e grounding yourself in the present moment. Gratitude journaling, writing down things you are grateful for, looking for 5 things you can identify with your senses among other things are something that you can use. Rely on others for emotional support - whenever there is an urge to worry about the health of the parents, connect with them or people you can confide in. When you share your concerns with others, conversations and empathetic bonds help in understanding yourself and your emotions. Develop a strategy of Anxious-coping - In moments of calm, establish a few steps that you can take which will help you to cope with anxiety. These can be a set of strategies like calling a friend, doing a quick meditation, gardening, or drawing 10 flowers. Anything that helps you cope with the stress. If this is something you struggle with even before the pandemic started, and you feel like its getting too much for you to deal with alone- we would recommend you to please reach out to professional mental health practitioners from organisations or independent set ups for the same if you need emotional support!

Hi...The way you explained it suggest some underlying anxiety, depression, hypochondriacal concerns. This kind of fear usually develops when we are anticipating a negative future or when we feel a lack of social, emotional, or financial support.
Next Steps
Start taking Counselling Sessions from a Psychologist and visit a Psychiatrist once to rule out any physiological basis of your condition.

Hello, It seems like anxiety and when one is anxious he can relate himself to any bad happening to others as if it will happen to him,by relating oneself to any negative event would worsen the anxiety and the anxiety would maintain its course.You need to check whether there is any stress which you are experiencing right now? Because stress worsens the anxiety cycle.Try some relaxation and mindfulness exercises,fill your day with activities.
Next Steps
For further evaluation Consult a clinical psychologist
