Constantly Getting Colds-- Its Getting Desperate
I am a hygienic person. I sanitize my hands before I eat (when in public). I used to bite my nails, but now have forced myself to stop. I've started to keep my hands away from my face altogether, unless they have been recently washed. I use tissues if I need to cough or sneeze. I follow all the rules to stay safe in public.
I'm not a total clean freak. I have been exposed to viruses, and I get them every so often like anyone else-- thats not the problem, so don't start telling me its good to get ill. Thats just lazy talk. My immunity is not crap.
My diet is okay... it could be better. I know I need to eat more of certain things to help my immunity stay strong, and I try to.
Problem is, I am always getting god damn colds. Sore throats are one of the worst things ever...
About every month I'll catch a cold. Last year, I got 3 colds in about two or three months. I also caught the flu last year.
What is going on? I remain cautious in public when it comes to viruses. I try to avoid people that are unwell. I do every damn thing they say you should to not get sick, yet ironically I find myself getting ill all the time.
What can I do? I am starting to get really desperate. Its causing huge depression, because I know that after I get better from a terrible cold it'll only be a few weeks or a month before I get another. I think I'm going to go mad.
