Please help, for past 2 days, I cannot cope anymore.

Several family and friends have covid19. I need to get imaging for a growth in my uterus to see what it is and that's been delayed until it's safe. But I feel like it will never be safe in NYC again. They say we may have to wait for a vaccine which would take a long time! But what if the growth is cancer and I die before then?
I am at a point in my cycle that I always have a spike in my anxiety and depression And I'm more stressed right now because if my next 2 cycles are too irregular, I have to go for imaging despite covid19 because it's more likely I have cancer then. I have asthma and have done all I can to avoid covid19.
I started breaking out in hives the night before last. Called my doctor, he said they are from stress (but this was over the phone, he doesn't
Do teledoc).
I usually relieve stress by taking walks. There are too many people where I live to take walks. I am scared that I'm going to go into shock and die from stress since it's already giving me hives.
I feel like what's happening in the world right now is reflective in some ways of what happens inside my mind when I have anxiety . The past few days, I feel like when quarantine ends, I will still have my same mental health issues. Will I ever feel free?
I need to calm down so my hives don't spread. Texted my therapist and told her what's going on, but her earliest appointment was Monday. I need help now honestly and I'm not sure which helpline is best to call because my issues are deeper than just being normal person quaratine-anxious and aren't there people needing the mental health lines more than me right now?
Please help. Thank you.

If you need the mental health phone lines, then use them. There is no difference from what you are going through and what others are going through. Don't suffer alone. Speak to somebody. They are there to listen

The world has changed over the past few months. This is something we have never seen before. It can frighten people. Make them ask questions about life. Make the question their own life as they know it.

So pick up your phone and speak to somebody. As to who to call? Mental health would be better for you.

Thank you. I think I am going to have to make a call.

I feel for you. I'm sure living in NY makes this even more stressful. I wanted to comment on the hives issue you are having. My son has chronic hives. When he is stressed out his body is covered with them. He's had this for many years. The doctor was never worried that the stress would cause him to go into shock and die. They come and go. He is fine.

When the lockdown ends we will all still have our anxiety issues, but they won't be exacerbated by what is going on currently. Are there other physical activities you can do inside your house to relieve stress? There are a lot of exercise videos online now to help people stuck inside.

You're going to get through this. We all are.

You CAN do this! There’s plenty of us here to talk to. Plenty of other ways to cope. Do push-ups, jumping jacks, crunches, some squats, do all of them in a cycle, like circuit training. You CAN cope!
