Nova--thanks. I get that. My daughter will drive off to work and I'll sob hysterically that I may never see her again or that I'm jealous I can't go anywhere. The littlest thing will set me off. Your

And I love you, Mary. Thank you for your support. Yes, all this is reacting to going to Rebecca's, plus all the anxiety building up since October when she asked us to go. I am in bed because my body a

The economic response package they're putting together where Americans will get 1,000$ checks.. Well we won't see it we don't fall in the guidelines!! You have to make 85k or less!

Great! We could have used that to help put back the money we'll lose while Rich is on vacation! His Corona virus staycation rather!  :tickedoff: :tickedoff:

Mary I had a cold back in mid February and I keep hoping that it was this virus that's how afraid I am too get it. I remember it was a dry cough and I had it for like 3 weeks. I don't know if you remember but I couldn't get good air in my lungs and I though I had pots sxs again.. Makes me wonder 🤔 But I'm not that lucky so it was probably just a regular damn cold! 😤

 

For your sake, I hope it was too.  ;). I am watching ABC News right now wth David Muir.  He always ends with a positive story and he's good looking, lol  :D

8f you go to the hi hospital, what is the treatment. It seems like everyo e has different reactions to the virus. Alot get it and are fine. Some have it and dont know, so they say. Some need respirators. Why cant they use bamboo bags in italy to help ppl. This is so disturbing. I wish I could do so ethingto help ppl. This sucks. 1 new case us in my town. I'm in Massachusetts. I take so much ibuprofen I probably killed it off if I had it or have it. This is as weird as bwd. Now the rest of the world can see the fear that we have for our life everyday, Not that I would want them too. I wouldn't ever wish this fear on anyone.

Trishy your appointment will be great. I have had therapy appointments over Zoom when I was too sick to go to her office. It was almost like being there. You will be great.

 

Sending you love Suzy! Hi Mary! Hi everyone, hope you are all hanging in there.

 

I am just hunkering down with my mom. We ordered groceries online today and they won't be ready for pickup for a week! But we can still go in to the grocery store I would just rather not.

 

Our county issued a Shelter in Place order last night. Basically all non essential businesses must close and no one is allowed to go out for anything non essential meaning doctor, pharmacy, food, and exercise is ok as long as you are outside and social distancing. It seems drastic but I just wish the dummy in charge would issue this for the whole country so we could actually stop the spread.

I keep hearing about pool carrying on with their lives and I'm like WHAT are you doing? This is serious!

Not sure if you ever go to Reddit, but there is a thread on their anxiety subreddit where people only post positive news related to the virus and how we’re doing. Just to try to keep hope up.

Thanks Stephen! I actually love reddit, I find the humor there hilarious, and I have a couple of really valuable support groups. People can be so sweet there! I stay away from the jerky subs, there definitely are some. Oh and the cat photos of course. Most of my feed there is cat photos and videos. It is the only social media these days that does not send me into an anxiety attack.

 

I will check out the anxiety sub, thanks!

Hi, Back for a short visit. Have been on Seroquel for a few days last week: first night good sleep,  second not, third better again, fourth not. Felt my muscles becoming more stiff and got more dizziness,  so stopped taking them.  Bad day next day.

After hardly any sleep started taking them again,  strongly advised to do so by my psychiatrist. I need to sleep before anything else can be done.

Sleep still not great after restarting,  always waking up to nighttime nausea.

No visit to the psychologist today because of CV,  but a telephone-consultation.

 

Wishing you all a good day.

Thanks Stut!  At last, the voice of reason.  I wish we had rationing here.  You sound well.

 

Happy Birthday Trishy.  Please try to have a great day!

 

Good morning LHSG.  Hope everyone feels better today.  I think AB is finally working as I did not cough as much last night and my chest isn’t burning.  But I sure did get up to pee a lot.  Maybe too much water?
