      I’m leaning towards the “needs psychologist” part. I was stuck in a rut from my own bout of hypochondria for pretty much all of 2021, it was not fun. The constant feeling of impending doom and everyone dismissing my problems unfortunately gave me suicidal thoughts like crazy. I eventually sought therapy and it helped a little bit, but a lot of it just went away on its own.

      OP, it does get better overtime. Quit looking up symptoms on Google (or other search engine of choice) and drink plenty of water.

        It could be completely anecdotal but something about everyone getting sick with different variants of coronavirus and no real end in sight to a novel disease, it’s like a collective response that many people are dealing with anxiety and panic. A lot of stuff happened prior to 2020 to bring about this atmosphere, but I’m sure the global pandemic didn’t make things better.
