A sneeze, cough or just breathlessness after a run are enough to set us in panic mode these days. If Googling every minor discomfort and checking symptoms of COVID-19 every now and then is something you’re guilty of, we’ve compiled a list of tweets to let you know you’re not the only one. Is it COVID-19, exhaustion or just poor eating habits? Anything is a COVID scare and people on Twitter are sharing how the pandemic is playing games with them.

Welcome to today’s episode of:

Do I feel sick because of anxiety, exhaustion, meds, allergies, COVID, or something else

Are my symptoms Covid or just exhaustion and eating poorly, a novel.

I can’t tell if it’s pandemic or maturity or currently being in a walking boot or insecurity or exhaustion but I have never been less excited by the idea of going to a crowded sweaty bar and it makes me a little sad

Damn that post-pandemic-hanging-out-with-friends-consistently-while-trying-to-balance-work exhaustion hits different ?

Hey Google, why am I so tired? Is it the air quality? Is it social exhaustion? Is it the fear of reopening? Is it the pandemic? Is it my anxiety? Is it climate change? Is it because sending billionaires to space is prioritized before affordable hosting? Is it existential dread?
