I'm going through a very bad head cold right now and it's taking everything in me to stop myself from overthinking in this state. not to mention stopping myself from over reacting because I don't have a clear head. No real solutions here. just stressed and sick.

You will figure out your relationship whether it
Works or not for you. Nobody likes to tell anyone
else what to do, that is very personal decision
on the Staying or going. HUGS

Peppermint essential oil: place one or two drops into a carrier oil (almond oil or lotion will work) and rub it into your feet. It'll clear your head cold and loosen everything up and make you feel clear-headed again!

I'm hearing that you're feeling a lot of pain in dealing with this sickness, and would like some understanding for that, and that additionally, you feel anxious because you're need for peace of mind is not being met. That must be very hard for you, I can see how this could cause you to feel a lot of stress. I find that when my inner voice is consistently repeating phrases like "I'm so sick," it perpetuates it, I can even feel it now while I type. I love to transform my thinking in terms of diagnoses and labels into thinking about what needs aren't being met in my life right now.

miranda, findingmeagain, giraffe, Thank you for your comments! I'm beginning to feel better. I did some meditation and my significant other and I had a very long talk about our lack of communication... brought to light some things that the both of us need to do for this to progress as a relationship.. that in turn helped relieve some of my mental stress and I was able to focus on my physical health much better.
