I'm sooo scared that I have it and am gonna suffer extremely and/or die My symptoms started 5 or 6 days ago where I just randomly got a stuffy nose out of nowhere and had to blow my nose. Then for the next two days I felt fine, but then on Saturday I started to get a slight tickle in my throat, random little aches and pains here and there in my body, and that type of stomach rumble you get when you're sick. Sunday and Monday it was the same, then this morning I woke up and slowly progressed to feeling pretty good by midday, but now its nighttime and I feel like my symptoms have gotten slightly worse. My throat is dry and has been aching more strongly, and it looks inflamed at the back of it. My stomach has been doing that sicky rumble more, and I've still felt that same level of needle-like pains around my body. I'm sooo scared of this progressing into me getting chest pain and not being able to breathe. Like, waking up in the middle of the night or something gasping for air. I'm less than 2 months away from being 18 and less than 4 months away from going on campus for college. I want to make it to then so I can finally forge my own path and life my own life outside of my family. I'm sooo scared that it's gonna get extremely worse and that I'm gonna suffer terribly and/ or die, or that my 51 year old mom or my sister is gonna get it and experience the same fate. I hate this virus situation. The worse thing about this situation is that it's taken away my peace of mind. I feel like I can't go more than 2 seconds without looking at the r/Covid19 subreddit to try to feel like I have some control over what's gonna happen with this sickness. I want to go back to being able to feel much more certainty about my life again. I know me feeling anxious is probably making this worse, but its just soo hard to try to managw my anxiety. I probably haven't been eating enough, haven't been sleeping enough, and maybe not drinking enough water as I should. I get anxiety about going to eat because I think about every single surface I touch and the fact that I share my house with my mom and sister who I don't think wash their hands for long enough. I also have just been lying around and scrolling through social media and read from the r/covid19 subreddit all day. I'm legit scared to go to sleep rn. I feel so alone and depressed and scared. I am usually good at comforting myself and calming myself down but I feel like my catastrophizing is getting out of control and I'm having trouble handling it.

Free yoga, meditation, and fitness classes while quarantined! :) I am a part of a youth charity foundation called "Inspiring Children". Our main focus is mental health. When being in quarantine became mandatory, we knew that there would be a mental health crisis. It's very easy to slip into darkness and isolation at a time like this; for that reason, we have started doing daily programming on twitch TV ([https://www.twitch.tv/inspirehouse](https://www.twitch.tv/inspirehouse)) in response to the quarantine. Our channel includes daily Yin yoga, fitness, and meditation! We wanted to make sure everyone who is quarantined has access to these programs- and it's completely free! I hope that people who want to do live classes find this resource helpful. :) Much love and strength to you all <3

My dad is a medical worker and I've never been more anxious I remember sitting at my laptop and laughing at coronavirus jokes a couple months ago, now I'm feeling almost hopeless and thinking about how the end of my life could be rising on the horizon. I'm trying hard not to let it get to me, or think too much, but it's hard. My dad is a biomedical engineer, he fixes hospital equipment and is essential to making sure things like ventilators stay up to shape. Normally I have never had to worry about his position, but today he told me there's 5 cases of Corona that walked around his hospital unprotected including the CEO of the company he works for, and now his entire team is freaking out, he's freaking out, and now I'm lowkey freaking out. I've heard so much about viral overload and double exposure lately killing Doctors, but nobody has mentioned other medical staff, nobody mentions their family. We only just moved in January as this was all starting, so his hospital told him that if he \*is\* to contract the virus he'll be put on leave without pay, possibly even fired. I've been having stomach pain for the last week, it gets worse at night and feels fine in the morning, as well as some sniffles and this feeling of mucus in my chest. I don't work so I'm fine in self isolation but I'm prone to anxiety, I'm only 19 going on 20, slightly overweight although my immunity is strong, I've only ever been sick about 5 times in my life at most, but the idea of losing my life so soon scares me, death scares me. I hope this isn't considered fear stoking, because I'm not looking to. I just want some advice, and some peace of mind in this highly taxing time.

Help As the virus gets closer and closer to home, I feel my anxiety growing. I live with my dad who is insane, and it is driving me nuts. I cannot keep living like this, this virus has taken all my joy from life, except my girlfriend and my truck. I keep hoping it will just stop, but every day I feel like i have less of a chance of ever seeing normal life again. I just wish I knew how long until everything will be normal. I hate to vent, as theirs other people that need help but I couldn't keep it in longer. Just when I met a great girl, got rid of my depression, controlled my anxiety, and finally was getting my life on track, then this happens. I slowly feel myself slipping to the Depressed person I was 6 months ago. Thanks for letting me vent.

Is anyone else getting anxious by confusing allergy symptoms with Coronavirus? It is currently peak allergy season and they are high in my area. I'm getting anxious concerned about the symptoms though. I blow my nose a lot, eyes are itchy and watery, which is normal for my allergies, and I need to clear my throat a lot (I think heartburn contributes to that). I just keep going around in circles in my mind if "this must be covid-19" No cough, and no real temperature though. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you handle it?

The way I see it... from the ground in China Take comfort in knowing that COVID-19 can be brought under control. I'm certain of it. Yesterday marked two months since the Wuhan lockdown and China is now reporting close to zero new cases - that's down from several thousand per day a mere month ago. I'm an expat living and working in the emergency sector in China. I won't play it down, the broad impact of this pandemic has been worse than I ever imagined - but we are also often inherently more resilient than we believe. [This link is a sharing of my personal experiences and observations of how the crisis was managed in China.](https://www.facebook.com/notes/ice-angel-id/covid-19-the-way-i-see-it-from-the-ground-in-china/2806513296064665/) I hope it will offer you encouragement of what is possible when people come together. Meanwhile, be kind to yourself. Maybe spend this time on meaningful pursuits like re-connecting in conversation (online) with family and friends. I wish you peace, may God be with you.

I’m worried First of all sorry for my writing ( english is no my first language). So I have read news about doctors and nurses dying due to constant exposure to the virus. I’m no expert about this stuff, but would that mean that if a whole family gets infected their conditions would be worse due to viral load between them? We are five living in the same house so I’m really worried that’s the case. If one of us gets the virus and infects the others (lets say for example being asymptomatic ) and we all get infected wouldn’t we also be expose to more viral load ? I’m just scared that will be the case.

How big of a deal is visiting my boyfriend? I am in Canada, southern Ontario to be specific, and I am currently quarantined with my family (younger brother, mom, dad), and have been for two weeks. None of us are showing any symptoms. I'm 21, if that matters. My boyfriend lives around a 45 minute drive from me. I'm having a very hard time mentally, dealing with this quarantine. I'm considering going to my boyfriend's house, to spend some time there. He's been isolated there, and we've been isolated here. He'd come pick me up. My parents are wary, but is it really that big of a deal? If I do go, should I just stay for a week or so? I just don't see how the virus could be spread, especially considering I've waited the entire period and have not shown symptoms. If I'm isolated here, and he's isolated there, I really don't see the problem. am I just being a selfish idiot?

My wife is pregnant and due next week. What now? She's almost 39 weeks and is due next week. We're in Brazil, where as March 23 we had 2,550 cases and 123 in our town. It's already considered a nationwide community transmission and we are climbing the "transmission wall" right now. Our hospital had a few cases (5 confirmed, 1 in the ICU), but it's in a different building. And quarantine protocols have been in place weeks before the first case. I've been a bit nervous about getting it because if I do it would probably mean I cannot be with her in the labor room, and even do my share of caring the baby in the first few weeks. I know all statistics work on our favour (we're on our 30s and my town have just a few cases compared to the major European cities), and symptoms on newborns seems to be mild, but there are exceptions. I try to have a positive attitude towards this situation, but when I tell someone she's due next week, their response is always "oh, that sucks". But we're doing our share to be safe. I already worked from home and she is in her leave since March 1st. I only left our house to go to the supermarket once and to a couple of appointments with her doctor. I wash my hands paranoically and make her do it too. Anyone else facing the same situation? I know chances are everything is going to be fine for us, but having a ching should be only joy combined with the common worries of the subjetc. Adding a fast-spreading-virus in the equation is keeping a part of my brain thinking about it ALL. THE. TIME. &#x200B; Cheers. Be safe!

I'm here to hear your struggles an ideas :) Hello everyone! I'm a Software Engineering student from Colombia, and currently learning web development. I would love to build a web app that helps solving one of the several problems people are having due to the coronavirus outbreak and isolation due to this. So I've come here to ask you guys if you think any of the struggles you or other people're having could be solved using a web app. Or just share some of your main struggles and I'll see if I get an idea. If I end up developing something I'll be sure to post it here so everyone can use it! \^\^ Thank you very much and please stay safe!

Coronavirus Thoughts Thanks to this whole "social distancing" trend, I don't think the world will ever be the same again. I think that we’ve overreacted to this virus so much, that the societal and political damage can never be undone. Even after the virus is gone in about a month, people will probably still be thinking "I hope this guy doesn't have a virus" whenever they're even 20 feet away from another person. Also, "drastic measures" are almost universally accepted now, and I find that extremely disturbing. I'm feeling sick to my stomach knowing that I'm one of very few people who aren't afraid of the virus and don't want any drastic or society-changing measures taken place. People don't even care about the economy anymore. They aren’t thinking about how millions of people could starve to death in a worldwide economic depression if these cancellations and quarantines aren’t lifted soon, not to mention how unhappy everyone will be during this virus and beyond. Even the term "social distancing" makes my bones chill! Just last February, I seriously thought I was already in the roaring 2020s. COVID-19 wasn't even affecting the economy until we were told that the virus can be spread through casual contact, and everyone believes that because scientists said so. The WHO can say that blinking causes cancer, and 99% of people would believe them just because they're scientists. I’m not saying that the WHO is evil and has a plan to destroy the American Dream, but that they were forced to come up with a solution fast. I can prove that this virus isn’t spread through casual contact, and I don’t need sources to do so, just scientific thinking. If people didn't start socially distancing until mid-March, and people who’ve had the virus weren't quarantined until two weeks after they got it (supposedly infecting people they've come in contact with during those two weeks), why did it take until now for the numbers to skyrocket everywhere else? You see, I think it’s just airborne, but I could be wrong (could be right too). Back in the Middle Ages, science was all about disproving stuff, but now, you either agree with everything the scientists say, or you're a "conservatard redneck". The American Dream is done for, and I find that very disheartening.

Anyone else having trouble communicating with friends? I know it is early in my quarantine ( I'm only almost a week in), and there has not really been enough time for things to set in. I suggested to my friends who I had regularly seen one to two times a week that we try to meet via video call occasionally. They don't seem to really want to make an effort to do this. I know that I shouldn't let this be a concern, but as an introvert, it is slightly stressing me out.

My Experience I drove out here out of an abundance of caution. Didn’t want to risk going straight home, not with dad’s age and health. We had a little get together before I left school. I wasn’t too worried about it- after all, no one there had it, and I was coming out here anyways. So, the plan was to spend a couple weeks out here alone in the boonies, long enough to be sure I wasn’t infected. When I say out here, I really do mean out here. Woods or fields on three sides, an empty house on the fourth. An empty cabin in the woods. One store near enough, but they were sold out after the supply chains went to hell. Wifi sucked, phone signal was in and out. At first, the only thing I minded was the loneliness. Had been a week without seeing another human face, which is never fun. I worked out like crazy, watched a ton of Netflix, smoked and drank way too much to kill the boredom. Took long walks in the winter woods, since spring hadn’t had time to make it out here yet and there was most of a foot of snow on the ground. The economic news wasn’t great either. Any time economists use phrases like “Black Monday” three Mondays in a row you know you’re in deep shit. Unemployment claims for the first week came to almost three and a half million people. I still had a job after graduation, I hoped…anyways, that was my biggest worry. At first, I put the cough down to the weed. The reason it was getting worse every day was that I was smoking every night. And of course it was a dry cough, it was because the smoke was irritating my throat. Made sense. Then, when my throat started to hurt and my nose stuffed up, I put it down to allergies. Timing seemed about right. Gotta be allergies. Nothing to worry about. Same with when my eye swelled shut from conjunctivitis. And if the cough was deeper now, and I was starting to cough up thick green mucus, well, that could surely be allergies too, right? I’ll be honest. There’s nothing quite like being driven to your knees from a coughing fit, and looking down to see your own blood splattered on the floor in front of you, to tell you that you probably aren’t dealing with allergies. When my buddy tested positive, I knew that last meet up had been a mistake. Started reaching out to other friends who’d been exposed. One was sick, and her boyfriend had lost his sense of smell and taste. Another felt like he had a weight on his chest and a brutal cough. More were holed up at home in their rooms, terrified to come near their parents. Talked to a doctor. Told me to stay out here unless I thought I was about to die. Something real eerie about that. Can’t shake the feeling that the world is ending. And to be honest, part of me worries a little that one of these nights I’ll realize I’m drowning in my own lungs and be too far gone to do anything about it. Just glad dad is safe.

Moving apartments next week, any safety tips? We're scheduled to have 3 movers come in and haul our stuff. I'm in CA and know next week will be much worse, which has me worried. Furniture will be wrapped and we're moving smaller items ourselves, so most surfaces won't be exposed (I hope). Besides being extra cautious during the move (gloves, masks, etc) , is there anything else we can do?

The affect quarantine has had on my mental health & some things I do to help I've had a long history with diagnosed depression and mental health issues. When the year started I was definitely in a much better place however just before this all went to shit I can't say I was. At that time it was genuinely worse than it had been in a long time, life just kept on piling on, but I kept on going thinking that with time and effort things would get better, and then world got sick. Before going on I just want to say that I consider myself very lucky in this case, I haven't lost my job and have been working from home for the past 2 weeks, I don't have to worry about money, food or rent at the moment. All of the issues that I was dealing with before are still present, just in a distant way. Being at home for two weeks has made everything feel distant, I feel static. Living the same day week after week with little variation and no end in sight; any progress I had made in life and all of my plans, one of which was finally moving out of my homophobic parents place, have been put on hold indefinitely. I never realised how I took for granted going out every day, even if its just going to work. Depression is the devil I know, I know how to recognise it, I know how to deal with it and so when I can feel it coming on I immediately get to work, over the years I've come up with a five point system, a lot of the time when I'm feeling down and don't know why is due to either a lack of: 1. Good food 2. Water 3. Sleep 4. Exercise 5. Sunlight/Fresh Air However all of those are external factors that can help mitigate the affects of depression, when depression in internal, when its something you can't run away from they're merely band-aids on a far more serious ailment. &#x200B; To be entirely honest I don't know where I'm going with this post, I just needed to get my feelings and story out there. Some of the things I've been trying in order to help weather the sunny storm that is this pandemic and enforced isolation lie in variety and productivity. Things which personally help me out a lot, and if they can help you then all the better for it. I try to not let myself get stagnant, spending days on end doing nothing but watching movies and YouTube, its easy to do so but I'm left worse off in the long run, instead I try to do something different, go for a run, bake, cook, take up one of my many abandoned hobbies and small projects, things I can feel proud of, things that have an easily achievable end result that I can look at and know that I did something, and its something to be proud of. All of that along side keeping up with my list of 5 and being strict with myself, making sure I eat and eat good food, making sure I keep moving and don't let myself stop, because when we stop we sink. &#x200B; If there's anything that any of you have been doing to help or have you own experiences on how this pandemic has affected your personal mental health please share them. DM me if you need someone to talk to,

COVID19_support

Anxiety support needed... 28/F. I have OCD and an anxiety disorder that I take medication for. I’m 100% aware that my anxiety manifests itself in physical symptoms (my whole body gets welts and I shred the skin on my hands from scratching). When I was pregnant last year I convinced myself I had complications multiple times. I didn’t. I know that I do this- but my god I cannot shake this paralyzing fear that I’m sick with COVID19 and I’ve gotten my baby sick. My chest is tight and achy, I’ve had sinus pain, a stuffy nose and a headache for days. I feel foggy and shaky and have to try not to concentrate on my breathing or else I can’t take full breathes. My appetite is gone and there is a heavy pit in my stomach. I’m waking multiple times in the night with a racing heart. What if this time these aren't psychosomatic symptoms and I have the virus? Will I not be able to hold my baby for weeks? Did I infect her and now she is going to have breathing problems for life? I take our temperatures twice a day but I read of cases where a fever isn’t present for awhile and get worked up. There was just a confirmed case in my suburb tonight and I fear this won’t ever stop. Every time I hold my phone I obsessively look at the news, covidpositive, covid19_support, etc. I try to talk to my husband and he is caring and loving- but he doesn’t understand anxiety. I just want to curl in a ball and cry- sometimes it’s hard to hold and kiss my baby because I’m so numb with fear. As much as I’ve always convinced myself these things aren’t a big deal and I’m normal- as I read this post back I realize how concerning it sounds. Sorry that this is rambly I just need some comfort...

COVID-19 IS AN ANXIETY FARM For the past week or so I have had a feeling of shortness of breath. You know that feeling when you really struggle to get a good, full healthy breath of oxygen into your lungs? It’s been very consistent, but within that I am still able to catch good breath every once in a while. It’s gotten better during my sleep though. Doesn’t wake me up at night and I’ve not hyperventilated. That being said, there’s also been strange pains in my torso. Now, if this was any normal time in the world I’d attribute it to a sore back as it feels a bit tight, but due to all this panic and scaremongering in the news, I’m always worried with every sensation I feel. I haven’t experienced any other symptoms, fever, runny nose – I do cough sometimes from this tingle in my throat, but again, in any other time, I wouldn’t seek medical help for this cough as it’s not persistent. I might cough 5-6 times a day, who knows, maybe more, but it’s not the type of cough that would make someone think I have a “cough”. I’m highly certain that this is anxiety, but knowing something is anxiety doesn’t really make it any better. Whoever is reading, thank you. I hope youre all keeping safe and doing things to incite calmness in your lives.

Three positive things in your life right now Hey guys, a little bit different from most of the posts on here. Just sharing a little method which has really been helping me through this entire thing. Just taking 10 mins out of your day without any Internet, could be whenever your in the shower of if you work out, just after then, and finding 3 solid positives in your life right now and just repeating them to yourself. It could be things you have started since in isolation like picking up an old instrument, or even reaching out to friends and family that you wouldn't normally have done if it wasn't for the situation. What are your positives right now? Mine would be: 1. Reconnecting with my family who I'm isolating with. I haven't really seen in the past 7 months or so. My little brother is now a full blown teenager and it's shocking me every day more and more how much I haven't seen him. 2. I've picked up some new software and I'm learning a lot about concept art, games design and animation (for anyone interested in that kinda stuff, there are a lot of free to use software up there which are taking the industry by storm and actually being used in mainstream companies, will link some in the description) 3. So far no one who I actually know has been infected (I know this may not be the case in 3 weeks, or even a weeks time, but it's right now that matters) Big shout out to everyone who I've seen on here who have been diagnosed and are powering through it. Also anyone living in any major cities please keep safe. We are isolated but not alone.

My mom is over 60 and a nurse - and I'm scared she will die Guys, I am dying inside. My mom is a nurse working in Washington right now. Sure, she is an OR nurse, but she is in the hospital every single day during this crisis. She is over 60, she smokes, and I am just waiting every day for her to call me and tell me she has fallen ill. She is there working in the hospital, being essential, and I am just sitting in my house sewing fucking masks because our government was too selfish and incompetent to bulk up our system in anticipation of this disaster. I try to just not think about it but I am staring death in the eyes right now. I'm only 29 and lost my dad two years ago. I haven't given my mom a grandchild yet. It just feels like shit and I feel helpless and useless. Thanks for listening. I hope you are all okay.

I have been under lockdown for two months and I am good, how can I help you? I'm an expert in social dynamics, but not a psychologist or therapist, however I have lot of tools in order to keep the mind strong and not fail into negative thoughts, and two months of experience in isolation, so I guess I can help. If anybody needs any help, or advice just reply here.

Prescription pill paranoia. Is there any likelihood that my actual prescription pills have the virus on them? I just picked them up and dumped them into my own containers and washed my hands, but I'm afraid to take them. They come from CVS

Need advice My sibling is sick. They got sent home from work and told not to return until they have a doctors note stating they did not have covid19. They go to doctor. Told they were going to be tested. Several hours later they are told they don’t have enough symptoms and aren’t in the high risk group so they can’t test. Doctor says can’t give a note without a test, but even if they tested negative still couldn’t give a note as they aren’t an essential worker. Their job says they are and won’t pay them while at home. So they can’t return to work without a test they can’t get, with no pay in the meantime. Any suggestions? BTW: this is a parent of 2 elementary age kids

Need Advice and Small Rant Info: I'm a 20 years old college student with Asthma in NY and I've been in isolation since 3/16/19. I don't know if I'm getting cabin fever but I've been getting more irritated with my family mostly my mother. every day I wake up to Covid19 this Corona that, a constant update on how many people have gotten it how many have died, which country is at the top of the Most Corona Chart. I get the concern but since were inside anyway can we not focus on it all the fucking time. Then there's the extreme focus on home remedies and other stuff I just don't believe will work in being shoved in my face. for example, my sister boiled some lemon skin with onions and other stuff and told me to put my face in it while it's boiling because it will help my lung or breathing. Then there's my sister daily insults calling me lazy for sleeping most of the time and staying in my room all the time but what am I supposed to do my mother owns the tv in the living room watching African movies or Spanish shows and I don't want to be around that I so I stay in my room. My room which I share with her not that she sleeps there but treats it like her warehouse for her online business, you couldn't do a proper push up in if you tried. But the worst thing of all is at night its hot and theirs no air conditioner when I ask my mother to open the I'mwindow they say no because she's scared of the virus so I sleep hot and sweaty. And when I get up in the middle of the night to get a cold drink from the fridge (which I do a lot) She's yelling at me for doing it saying I can't drink anything cold and got to keep myself warm (which I get but I think it's harmless since I'm not sick) but i'm getting real tired of the drinking something cold is gonna get you sick and then Corona. Due to staying at home all day and not being that active even before the corona outbreaks my astma condition is getting worse, so since there is no ventilation since the(cuz closed windows) I suggested going outside to get some fresh air note not talk to or be around anyone just get some air and be away from my family and my mother and I get into an argument. she even agaiinst me going outside with my older sister for a food and supplies run. I'm kinda getting stressed and don't want a huge argument since were going to be in close proximity for god knows how long. Tl;dr: Getting tired of family need coping methods and Advice. Right now: my asthma is in control, I'm going to start some light exercise and I gonna put a fan in my room not that's its gonna help with ventilation issue. I don't know what I can do to be less irritated and angry.

Plans for after. The last few weeks have given me a lot of time to reflect. Like most y'all I'm a bundle of anxiety and sadness. I'm grateful I get to keep working at the hospital as it's keeping me on an even keel. It's made me think what do I want to do when this is all over? For me, that's applying for my Clinical PhD in psychology. I've been browsing the MIT Online Course Library for biology, who knows maybe consider avenues if that goes well. Also, it's living more genuinely. I've made a lot of comments about considering moving back to Europe to be closer to the family, setting up a clinic for the poor and getting a little cabin in the woods to escape to as needed. What's everyone's plans when this is over? It can be small things too. I'm excited to watch a Chelsea game, sit at a coffee shop and hug a friend.

I think I figured out exactly why this is making me have panic attacks. I am immunosuppressed, have asthma, and have bronchiectasis, which, basically, is a form of COPD. I'm used to my lungs not working so well on a normal day, and I cough a lot just on general principles. I use inhalers and a nebulizer semi-regularly. I also run a fairly low resting temperature of 97.1 and don't get fevers easily- last time I have pneumonia, I was running 99.8 in the hospital. So, when I get sick, because, despite the fact that I'm socially isolating (12 days and counting), I'm under no illusions- I will get this illness eventually-how will I know I'm sick with it? I could just have a cold. And how will I know when things are starting to get serious enough I should be hospitalized- as a matter of course, I've had to learn how to treat things at home, under doctor guidance, of course. So, I'm afraid I won't recognize I'm sick, or how sick I truly am, until it's too late.

Today has been my tipping point I know I’m not the only one but I guess I just need to get this off my chest. This June I was set to graduate from college and start working my dream job that I’ve wanted for 6 years. It’s been pushed off three times throughout the 6 years. Life happened 🤷🏻‍♀️ Last year I found out about the program and got in right away. I’ve been kicking ass in school and was ready for clinical rounds. I was going to be a surgical technologist. Welp the virus was getting worse and worse and the hospitals stopped taking students. We were told hopefully May we can go to clinicals. I’m angry that my plans have been pushed off for who knows how much longer. I was hoping to live with my boyfriend and start living my life. Now it’s all fucked up and I just want to scream and cry. Today I’ve been on the verge of tears. I’m just sad that it’s all been out put off again when I was so freaking close. Part of me wants to give up but I know I have to keep chugging along. I just want this whole fiasco of a virus to be done. I know everyone wants it to be over. It feels like there’s going to be no happy ending in the world again. I’m probably being over dramatic about my feelings but that’s where I’m at. Sorry if this is all rambly. I’m really trying to keep hope up and be positive but it’s not easy

One of my roommates is a nurse in an understaffed, overtaxed ICU, I'm worried about her & our friends. I'm living with my father right now, for the forseeable future, keeping him company after the loss of one of his parents recently and helping him with the gradual shuttering of his business. I'm worried about him, dealing with the grief and stress of losing a parent all while going through this. It can't be good for him, of course, and I've been urging him to sleep well and eat well, to stay home as much as possible. I'm fortunate he agrees with me and is taking this virus seriously. It's been stressful, with online classes on top of everything, but I'm managing well, I think. The four of us were renting out a house a few hours away, me, my buddy, her (his girlfriend), and a friend of hers. She's working at a hospital, under a contract for another year, that she has a laundry list of complaints about; thin staffing, poor pay, awful hours, and a lack of support for nurses in general seem to come up a lot. I doubt she has access to any kind of suit, might not even have masks: I haven't spoken to her too much recently about her work. She had been making up her mind about quitting, and despite not taking this very seriously before things may have ramped up to the point where she goes through with it. I hope she does. It's understandable for a person to panic at the idea of medical staff leaving en masse, but I won't wish for my friend to put herself in harm's way. What's worse, the hospital is a "teaching hospital" that serves as a sort of overflow protection for other hospitals in the area; they're light on experienced staff and support for them, and heavily burdened by the flu season we're already going through (which is apparently quite bad this year). The viral load you're exposed to matters in how sick you may get, right? There's a difference between having your faced coughed on working over a dying patient, possibly without a mask on, and, say, touching a chair somebody not yet displaying symptoms touched hours prior. Yes, you'll possibly get sick in the second and, yes, you'll still have to face some possibility of dying, but the statistics we've seen out of Italy and China about medical staff and infection rates is really disconcerting. She and every other nurse is potentially in line to be the next forgotten national tragedy, tens of thousands of women and men sickened severely working in a system that doesn't support them properly. I feel guilty, too, for being grateful to be with my father. We may get sick eventually, yes, but I'm not nearly as worried about myself here as I was there. I was, not without reason, still, scared of the likelihood of catching it from her. I'm glad I'm not living with her right now, as worried as I am about her, and I don't like that feeling. I also feel guilty for being frustrated with her over this, the virus. She wasn't concerned about it: didn't start following it early like I did, and I kept to myself about it for fear of seeming panicked or worrying others. It's just the flu, more worried about the panic, media exaggeration, less air pollution here etc.. I wish I had tried harder to convince her to be concerned. I also feel like, if I had, I would feel guilty for scaring her and my other roommates. I wish there was something I could do. I have some masks I won't need I'm going to mail back, but I've been hearing some hospitals won't let nurses bring masks from home! That's outrageous. I wish I could do more for everybody. (Just want to add, not a hoarder; only bought a pack of 10 masks. Now that I know you can sanitize them, with heat or iso alcohol, I want to give most away)

I'm not sure fully if this allowed, if not I will happily delete it. Desperately need help getting bare essentials (ignore the couple that aren't) items for my baby. Details below Tldr: Broke, issues with husbands job, family now unable to help, obgyn warned incredibly unlikely I'll make it past 34 weeks, currently 25,have nothing but a few clothes, am completely broke atm. I hate this virus. (please no hate on me not being able to afford my child please) So on Halloween we found out I was pregnant. We are/were not ready, but decided to continue with this pregnancy happily because she is honestly our little miracle. I was told at 17 I had around a 1% chance of ever conceiving naturally, so we were simply thankful for her. We thought we were okay. We had 1000$ in savings, okay insurance once I hit 15 weeks, and my husband had an okay stable ish job. All of that has since changed. Our vehicle keeps breaking down every few weeks and fixing it has used up all of our savings. Our insurance has decided none of my now many medications will be covered. All this money we thought we would have to prepare for our little girl is gone. And now we are having issues with his job. They refused to close their store front (he works front and back) until this Friday. We had a shut in order placed on Tuesday. He decided to take Tuesday and Wednesday off, and have his weekend on Thursday and Friday and go back in Saturday when the chances were less. I am very high risk. I am pregnant, have diabetes, have asthma, and an auto immune disorder due to a skin condition. I hate it but it is what it is. Every time he goes to work it puts me and our unborn child at risk. He had 15 hours of pto we thought would be more useful now, than when I gave birth. This morning his job called him. Upset he had been calling out even though they told people they wouldn't be getting in trouble for it if they felt it was unsafe to come in. They informed him that they are now forcing anyone who calls in for feeling unsafe, to take a minimum of 7 days. To dissuade people from just taking a vacation, because getting pto is almost impossible for them. So now our next paycheck will be even shorter. None of our debt places will take late payments. Due to what's going on our family (his I have zero contact with mine) have mostly lost their jobs, or desperately need the money they are getting to stay afloat. So having a baby shower to try to get things is unfortunately out of the question. This pregnancy, though a blessing, has been a nightmare. I had a bleed at 12 weeks. I had the flu, strep, and a sinus infection all before 15 weeks. Then I got diagnosed at 17 weeks with gestational diabetes. I have pre existing high blood pressure. Then at 23 weeks we thought we were losing her because I started leaking fluid, thankfully I wasn't it was just bacterial vaginosis but it was just another thing to go wrong. My insurance won't cover any of my insulin or testing supplies, or my blood pressure medication. All of our "extra" money right now is going to that stuff. I am making prefold cloth diapers, a few onsies, and some cloth wipes, and burp cloths from extra fabric and old clothes I have around the house. I'm not buying maternity clothes at all, and just altering what I have and wearing a lot of dresses. We are trying to get by with as little as possible. Unfortunately due to everything I've had going on with this pregnancy at my last ob appointment (last week) my wonderful ob sat me down and explained my chances of going full term, of even going past 34 weeks, is very unlikely. They are sure I will develop pre eclampsia at some point. My blood pressure just keeps going up, as do my meds for it. I am freaking out that at almost 25 weeks I have only a few clothes for my little girl. If anyone is able to help I put a list together with a few bare needs, and one or two would be wonderful to have items. We have a family member who is willing to loan us their used car seat (no accidents not expired yet) and our insurance will thankfully cover a breast pump. If I'm not producing in the first 24 hours, my hospital charges the insurance company and gives you free formula. If anyone is able to help, or even point me in a better direction for help, you would be a literal life saver. This is causing me so much stress. Link will be in comments.

I feel kind of guilty but stressed as I feel my mom isn't taking quarantine seriously I (22F) just need to get this out of my chest. I started quarantine on friday 13th and to this day I've only left the apartement once to stock up on food and snacks. But she is going out almost every day. She now works from home but she told me she gets side money from driving our neighbour (F) to get groceries. I understand that she wants another source of income as her office job doesn't pay well (on top of that we're from Venezuela, to get you guys on social context), and my job got suspended as I work in the entertaiment field, the business decided to help the employees so I'm still getting paid some money and have a little bit saved up. What troubles me is her, going out almost every day with our neigbour. Why doesn't she (my neigbour) makes one big purchase a week instead of doing it daily? Putting my mom at risk with her, as well as me. My mom tries to explain herself, telling me she uses the mask and carries and uses her alcohol gel and that they don't get into crowded spaces; but that doesn't stop me from worrying and I discovered i'm kinda hypochondriac as I have to mantain myself distracted, because just taking a glance at news about the virus triggers a big worry and sometimes start getting a headache if I get too worried, or a discomfort in my throat like getting the flu. One day I got what I think it was a panic attack because suddenly my heart started beating really fast and my breathing got heavy,but that only lasted like 5 seconds until it went away and hasn't happened again. I feel guilty about feeling this way, because I'm scolding her every time she has to go out but I know she is worried about the money. I just wish she wouldn't have to leave the apartment too often.

My girlfriend works in healthcare and we live apart. Are we able to be still seeing each other or is that extremely ill advised? My girlfriend is not in direct contact with COVID patients, and is seldom in contact with patients at all now, but does work in a COVID building. I have been working from home and have sheltered-in-place for over 2 weeks, only leaving very sparingly to get groceries or pick up food. Up to this point, we've been still hanging out at my place a majority of the nights. She has severe sleep anxiety and when she's not with me, is really struggling to sleep with all that is going on right now. Plus, her roommates are loud and stay up late. My roommate, unfortunately, is still continuing to go home to see his family and hang out there every so often. He's alternating being at the apartment and going home just to "mix things up" IE not get bored. I feel kind of overwhelmed with what we all should be doing here. Personally, I understand that I am at a higher risk myself by seeing her, but I am willing to take that risk. I do not want to ban her from coming here. I especially do not want to ban her from coming here so my roommate can continue to go home. Any advise on how to deal with this? just a lot of anxious people here trying to cope with this as best we can.

I can feel myself slipping I to the dark... Iv been in quirintene for 3 weeks yesterday. I had chemo in December so to go to work is dangerous. My state hasnt been hit that hard abd while one of my doctor's think im freaking out the other 2 think im being safe. So iv decided to take this time in isolation to work on myself, aka work off my antidepressants. And started online therapy. But today all i could think about was killing myself. Watching my life savings be so little when I need it. My plans for the year be evaporated. How little people notice me being gone. I always m didnt like people but now that im away its less stressfull but obviously it must be having its toll. Also today i was looking my checking account fall and was thinking i need to go back to work and my first two thoughts were, i cant and its dangerous. And thats where the slipping started. My normal defenses started of "my mom couldn't handle it" but that will only hold so long. Therapy just feels like in filling out worksheets and not helping. I fear that to go back on antidepressants will cement my dependency on them I have dealt with this for years, im only 25 but still. I know others have it worse. That im still healthy and its all in my head but i had to get it out there. Im scared. I have no money but more isolation to go. The idea of ending it will only get more and more appealing and the idea that no one will notice or care sounds more and more likely. Im sure this will just fade into the black, but that feels fitting right now.

Cracking up I work in IT. I've set up, alone, 53 users so that they can work remotely. I've been supporting them over the phone for two weeks. I feel like I'm on the verge of cracking. Upper management can't see / understand the work I do, because they don't understand computers much. I'm drinking so much. I'm so tired. Starting to feel really depressed. Can't think straight. Can barely write. I don't know what to add. Feeling so down, so down. My life was great before this. My whole world is breaking apart. I really don't know if I'll make it through all this.

Aerosol Safety Box for medical personnel Hey guys, I whipped up a quick design of an aerosol box for an urgent medical requirement in my city. It's used for containing the aerosol particles ejected by a patient during intubation procedures that could infect the medical personnel. It's designed for quick & easy fabrication & any decently equipped Maker space or a university lab can manufacture these really cheap & fast by laser cutting. Please share wherever it could help save lives. Design files & guides: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QWaajzMcEoOngYN\_IsMCHOWFH-ASYPGH?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QWaajzMcEoOngYN_IsMCHOWFH-ASYPGH?usp=sharing)

I’m so stressed about my symptoms but it might not even be covid19! There are no tests available for the masses in UK so I don’t know if I have it. I’m so scared that I might. Last time I went our was exactly one week ago and I’ve been gradually feeling more unwell since Wednesday. I also suffer from severe anxiety, but I am a very self aware person so I usually am able to sort myself out with that. I’m so exhausted today that I can barely think straight. Every time I eat, I run to the toilet soon after (diarrhoea), but temperature is perfect and I’ve no cough. Just EXTREMELY tired. It’s a tiredness I’ve never experienced before and it’s crazy how bad I feel. I get weak every time I get out of bed. Do I have early stages of covid 19?

I feel like I'm going to fail my family. I'm at work right now, and as I type this I'm slowly crying at my desk at work (my job is still open). In my current situation I feel that my family is in a good place, my wife stays and works from home, our son who is 14 is home schooled and enjoys being at home (he misses his time at the library with his geeky friends but they are making it work through Discord and the lot) and my mother in law lives upstairs and doesn't leave the house much either, they are safe in my eyes and I couldn't be happier for the situation. And then there is "me", I'm the bread winner of the house, I'm also the only driver, grocery getter, errand runner, etc. I am the one out in the world now, and I never had a problem with my role in this, but now in the world that we live in I am just....terrified of bringing something home to those I care about most. My wife and my mother in law are Diabetic and since 2016 our lives have been one tragic event every year. 2016 we lost a child, stillborn, 2017 the trauma of that stillbirth caused medical issues for my Wife and we were in and out of the hospital all year, 2018 I got demoted from my job. These cascading event have really crushed me and mine, I was never an anxious person but now I always worry about "What's going to happen now?" Come 2020 things start looking better, I get my old job back, during my time in my less paying job I turned by passion for art into a side hustle that I really love. Things were going really great, the BOOM this shit happens. &#x200B; Now my anxiety is through the roof, mostly stemming from the idea that I'm going to fuck up and get sick and bring it home to my family. I have always been the "dirty" one of my wife and I, I don't really get sick, I mean I wash my hands and I'm sanitary but I never put thought into just being "clean" all the time. My wife is a clean freak, always reminding me to wash my hands and sanitize, cuz when I DO get sick, I give it to her and she takes getting sick worst then I do. So in our 16 years together I have improved my cleanliness for her. But now that this shit is going on I am so fucking paranoid about being sick. I'm washing my hands more than I ever have in my life, I don't touch my face ever when I am out in the world and I'm the only one going out to make a paycheck and keep us stocked with supplies when needed. And I keep running lines in my head of "Don't fuck up, don't fuck up, take this seriously, you're gonna fuck this up, cuz you don't try hard enough, you might be fine but the love of your life is gonna get it and shes gonna be BACK in the hospital fighting for her life again, your Son is going to lose his Mother AND Grandmother because you fucking can't just BE FUCKING CLEAN STOP FUCKING UP!" Over and over and over. I'm at work just like "Stay away from people, wash your hands, is that cough a sign?, wash your hands, am I hot? Is it hot? WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS cuz if they get is sick it's YOUR FAULT" \*deep breath\* &#x200B; I'm crying and can't wipe my face cuz what if... &#x200B; My family knows I am trying my hardest out there, they appreciate it more than they can ever tell me. I just don't wanna fail them...I went to the clinic and got some anti anxiety meds, my job is offering non paid leave if you feel unsafe. I'm going to take it week after next. I need to get out of here and not feel like I'm going to bring ruin to all the things I care about. &#x200B; Thank you for listening to my explosion of emotions, it's good to get it out and read it and understand it's unrealistic the fears that I have.

My test came back negative - I question its accuracy I developed symptoms roughly two weeks ago - first a sore throat, then a cough and temperature (around 100 but only for a few hours on two different days), runny nose and GI issues. The whole thing lasted for almost two weeks, I got a temperature of 100 again yesterday, but also a cold sore, so maybe that's where that came from. Anyway, the reason I'm questioning the accuracy of the test is that the paramedic that came to test me did the following: swabbed my one nostril for 2 or three seconds, no twisting or anything as far as I could see, didn't feel it at all besides some tickling - I'm not sure he even reached the back of my throat. Then did a cheek swab like they do with DNA sampled. He then placed the swabs on my dresser before putting it in the thingy. Also, they came after I had had symptoms for 12 days already, would there still be enough viral trace in my body to catch it? (especially the way they did it) Does anyone know if this could somehow compromise the test result? Or was what he did alright? The reason this makes my anxiety go up a bit is that I was kinda hoping I already went through it with extremely mild symptoms. I'm scared I'll get it now with a much more severe outcome (I don't really fear that I'll die, I'm young and relatively healthy, but I don't want pneumonia or anything). I'm very relieved that I didn't infect anybody with this, though, so that's a huge plus! But still, I'm worried again. If this isn't the right subreddit, any advise where I could get my questions answered? Thanks in advance :)

Are you immune if you have had COVID 19? I saw a few articles from China in saying you could catch it again. This is terrifying to me because I seem to have lost some lung function. If i get it again I would probably need a ventilator which means going to a hospital which would be a nightmare on every level. If you could link to relevant articles thank you.

How is take your work to dog week going? With all the doom and gloom I thought I'd change the tone a bit. I'm working from home and since many people are also either working at home or just staying home, all of us pet owners are getting to enjoy our pets and they are getting to enjoy us! My dog loves to come up and bug me for scratches while I'm trying to type. When I stop she pushes my hand with her head and makes me scratch her again. Right now she is laying on a blanket I put beside my desk. Having her here is actually really good for my mental health right now!

Feeling helpless with work. I have no clue what to even do anymore I work for a fabric store deeming themselves to be an "essential service." Ive even called the california health department and they even confirmed the fact that it's not included in the essential catergory. The only option I really have is to call my local police department but even then I dont think they will try and enforce it. Management will probably just give some baloney spiel about how we are servicing the community and blah blah just a bunch of lies to protect our higher ups pockets. I just feel so lost and I dont know what to do.

Mental health going downhill fast I wasn't exactly in a great spot mentally before this crisis really started but I was feeling hopeful, I was doing better than I had been in the past, and had plans to find an apartment with my boyfriend in the near future. Now it just feels like it's all down the drain. I knew that this sort of stuff would be difficult but I didn't know it'd be this bad. Between the lack of any social interaction or a routine and the anxiety and hopelessness about the pandemic, it's scaring me how fast I'm becoming non functional. I'm hardly ever out of bed as I use sleep as an escape, and when I am it's probably to eat shitty food, go to the bathroom, or to smoke enough weed that I can go back to sleep (yes I know it's a terrible idea to be smoking at the moment but I don't think I could cope if I had to be sober). Waking up usually involves crying until I'm too tired to keep crying. I feel hopeless, it's only been two weeks but I already can't see any sort of normal life emerging from this. Am I going to be wearing gloves to touch the grocery cart handles for the rest of my life? If he survives, will it ever be safe for me to visit my immunocompromised grandfather? Will I ever be comfortable going to restaurants again? Me and my boyfriend had tickets to see RATM in July, and the notion of a gathering like that happening then, or ever again, just seems laughable. I get that my concerns are pretty trivial compared to some of the shit healthcare workers or immunocompromised people have to worry about. I'm just worried that if heavy self isolation and social distancing like this keeps up for the next few months as I know it has to, I'm not going to be able to keep myself going through it. It's barely been two weeks and I'm cracking, so what does 4 or 5 months look like?

Are reckless/careless people causing issues where you live? I'm in Bosnia and Herzegovina. While we locked down pretty early and are, in general taking this seriously, some individuals are still causing problems for everyone else. &#x200B; Here's three things that happened here: &#x200B; \-The first patient in the city of Mostar came back from skiing in Italy and developed symptoms. He was admitted to the hospital by a family member without following the proper procedure. He got admitted to the LUNG DEPARTMENT, while having a high fever and coughing. A lot of doctors and nurses had to go into self isolation and one nurse tested positive. The patient kept denying that he went to Italy. Last I heard all cases in the city are related to this one. &#x200B; \-A party of 200 people was held by politicians and businessmen to celebrate the 30 year (I, think) anniversary of a company. One of them was infected and spread it further. All cases in the city of Konjic are related to this party. The driver of the infected person has died. This was held after measures were already implemented. Schools were closed, people were told to stay home and work from home. Gatherings of no more than 10 people, etc. &#x200B; \-This morning two people (mother and son) who were tested positive escaped from the infectious disease ward in the city of Banja Luka. They were moved there after they complained at the conditions of the student housing they were placed in, and the son treated to jump from the fifth floor. The police are currently looking for them. &#x200B; This is along with around 50 people every day who get fined for not sticking to self isolation or being out after 6 pm. Our hospitals are not even close to prepared enough to handle a lot of people at once.

Safely moving food to my parents house I live by myself next to a large super market. The idea is I'll do my parents shopping, bring it to my house. I'll then sanitise the shopping and put it inside a container. I put the container inside my fridge, close it and wait for 3 days(I heard this is how long the virus can survive on surfaces ). when my parents are over waiting in the drive way inside the car, I bring the container over to the back of their car. I leave. My father opens the container using a part I haven't touched, takes out the shopping, puts it in the back of his car. They leave. I pick up the container. Clean everything. Rinse and repeat. The idea is, I can get them clean food. I can also get them clean food even if I'm infected, because of how I leave the shopping I handled in a container for a minimum of 3 days before giving it to them. I was just wondering if my plan makes sense at all? Does the virus live for longer or shorter in the fridge?

With so many of our lives changing suddenly, I'd like to bring attention to the feeling of depersonalization. [Depersonalization](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depersonalization-derealization-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20352911) is a feeling of detachment. You may have experienced it in an overwhelming, unfamiliar situation or while intoxicated. It's the third most common mental health symptom after depression and anxiety. It's also thought to be a symptom of anxiety and a self defence mechanism of the mind to protect the individual from trauma, such as a car crash or childhood abuse. Many reported the world around them feeling unreal after 9/11 happened. You may currently feel the world around you is dreamlike/unreal. You may suddenly feel like you're an outside observer of your body and its actions. You feel numb as the world around you changes instantly. If you feel this way, please don't panic. It means you're obviously stressed, rightfully so, and your mind is trying to protect you as it tries to deal with the situation objectively. Reach out for professional help, even if it's done remotely. Find something, just one thing, that relaxes you and helps clear your mind like working out or journaling. Stay safe and keep busy. On a similar note and for those curious: Depersonalization Disorder is a loss of self/identity with a constant feeling of depersonalization and derealization. Many of us are losing what used to be a part of our identity, such as our jobs. I've made [this](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XyV9uRtYzqnlbq3JfwYccWtQDVSC-91w/view?usp=drivesdk) information sheet for those interested.

Not able to see my daughter due to the pandemic. Sorry if this isn't the type of preferred content, I just couldn't find anywhere else relevant So I usually get my daughter on weekends. For the past two weeks, this hasn't been possible due to my countries health and government officials heavily advising not to travel. I would need to get two trains and a bus to get to her, and the same on the way back with her, which usually isn't an issue at all but given the current circumstances I just feel like it would be highly irresponsible to do that, as a parent and as someone actively trying to prevent the spread of this virus. I work in a massive UK supermarket almost every day due to the lack of staff we currently have, and as such at a much higher risk of getting the virus than a lot of people, I just feel like that on top of that much public transportation would be putting too many people at risk. The decision to not go and get my daughter due to this has been entirely my own, I'm not being prevented. I just feel like such an asshole for not doing it. I would love nothing more than to have her with me right now. I know this isn't anywhere near as bad as some peoples situations, and people are losing their lives. I just want all of this to be over and for everyone to be safe.

Stressed for days Hello everyone! I am extremely glad I found this Reddit. I was one of those people not taking this seriously at first...but boy did that change. I have really bad anxiety and paranoia. Last weds, March 18th, late at night at my girlfriends house I got this extreme pain in my stomach and had really bad diarrhea to where I couldn’t breath. I freaked out. Diarrhea is pretty common for me though, I have stomach issues (never been diagnosed, but I get diarrhea often). But then the fear set in, I HAVE COVID-19! Why was I struggling to breath. Since then, every day I’ve been so stressed. Every day since then my stomach has been hurting. It’s a dull pain. My stomach is constantly gurgling. I’ve been constipated up until today March 26th (8 days later). It wasn’t diarrhea but it was still pretty soft. My stomach still just has that bloated, dull pain, and I’ll get an occasional dull pain in my chest. Later, I started getting constipated again. I keep worrying myself. I see articles and start to get hot with stress. Is this stomach issue Covid-19, or is my stress making me sick? On top of that, I got pretty sick at the very beginning of February and have had a dry cough every day since then. So even though I’ve had it for that long, I still think it’s Covid. I thought, maybe it’s acid reflux? I get a dry cough after I eat, so it’s not a constant cough. I also seem to struggle breathing through my nose, not to where I need to go to the hospital. The problem is...these are things I’ve had before. I have bad stomach issues before (it’s an on running joke that everything I eat just goes right through me). I’ve had this cough for over a month. My breathing issues, I’ve always kinda struggled with breathing out of my nose and I snore really bad (I’m 31 and overweight but not drastically, 198lbs, 6ft make). I’m so scared. I’m almost always fighting with myself to get a hang on things. Set my mind straight, but then I hear the news or my stomach starts to hurt again and I start stressing out. It’s not extreme pain. Just dull. I stopped going out on the 18th and haven’t been anywhere since. I was an Uber and Lyft driver (Bakersfield, Ca) and picked up strangers for weeks up until I decided not to on the 18th. Am I just paranoid? Are these symptoms my usual and now they just seem escalated because of my worries? I live with my parents as I help my mom take care of my 88 year old dad, they’ve shown no symptoms, my girlfriend who comes here (who doesn’t go anywhere else) has shown no symptoms, but I know it can just sneak up on you. This is very scary. I’m so worried and paranoid. I just can’t keep myself straight.

Gratitude: What are you thankful for? Positivity helps me so much, mostly thinking about what I am grateful for. It's not a platitude--I have significant mental illness, PMDD, IBS, and asthma. I cannot work and have been in college for about 126 years trying to get some degrees. This week I had an IBS flare, my PMS is horrible, and I have a cold. I have learned that to get through hard times, gratitude lists help immensely. I am grateful for the fact that this is a mild cold that hasn't gone to my lungs yet. I am grateful for my doctors and therapist. I am grateful for my DVR and favorite shows, lol. What are you grateful for?

The most depressed and anxious I have been in years Trigger warning// panic attacks, suicidal thoughts I am on my 17th day of being at home, originally did self isolation which then turned into a mandatory stay at home order. Since March 10th I haven't been able to see my therapist or go to my support group. I was supposed to see my psychiatrist but then couldn't so my meds haven't changed in months and I really needed to adjust my meds because the effectiveness has greatly diminished. So basically I am the most depressed I have been in years and my anxiety is out of control to the point where I have had multiple panic attacks over these 2+ weeks. I feel nothing but yet at the same time feel everything from being sad, scared, alone, worried, helpless, angry, afraid, etc. I can't fill my time with hobbies and activities because I feel so drained and anxious, like I can't enjoy things anymore. I felt like I could barely function in daily life when there wasn't a pandemic going on and now that everything is falling apart I feel even more dysfunctional. This has put me back months on my progress I have made dealing with my mental issues. I feel as bad as I did when I had to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital a few years back. Everything just feels so bad. I feel like I am falling into a dark pit and can't escape. My suicidal ideation is non stop. I don't really want to kill myself because my biggest fear is the unknown after you die (hell, nothingness, etc.). My fear basically keeps me alive. But even still I keep saying "why don't you just kill yourself" and other bad things to myself. I think I still think these things not because I actually want to go through with ending my life but because I want all the pain to go away so badly. I would go to a psychiatric hospital but the coronavirus... :(

I need some support and reassurance So I live close to Ottawa, I’ve been stuck inside for a month now and I’m already depressed and anxious every second of every day. I haven’t seen my girlfriend in weeks and I can’t stand having so little human interaction.. I have a hard time keeping myself from the news and I’m trembling nearly every day because of how scared I am, and I’ve never felt so depressed. I’m especially scared not knowing when I’m allowed to see people and have fun again.. Any good news or reassurance is helpful. Thank you.

Need help processing case & death count Hi, hope everyone is doing ok. I’m here in America where things are really starting to pick up. I’ve been self isolating for 11 or 12 days even though my governor or mayor haven’t issued a lock down order. I’m an introvert and I was used to sitting in the house for days on end with no human to human contact. So, I’m doing fine with sitting in the house. My problem is seeing the case and death count increase so much, so quickly. I can’t wrap my head around it. Sometimes I see the number and can’t breathe. What can I do to come to terms with this?

Sorethroat making anxiety too high, wasn't able to sleep. I've been mostly at home, but did something dumb and had a beer with friends three days ago. We were in an open air place, but were less than 6 feet apart. No direct contact, but could've touched the same stuff. Kept using sanitizer on my hands. I now have a sore throat and it's giving me strong anxiety. I only slept for two hours and woke up feeling really jumpy. It doesn't help that my auntie is wearing a mask around me. I live with three elderly and it would really fuck me over if i bring mortal risk to everyone because of a dumb decision.

Does anyone know what "Pre existing conditions" are mostly affecting people who contract Covid-19? For the most part I am very healthy, as far as I know. I am not nearly as active as I used to be but still not too bad for a 28 year old male. My anxiety is making me worry because as a baby I had a procedure done where 25 percent of my lower intestines and a valve were removed, it's commonly known as short gut syndrome. While this probably doesn't affect a respiratory illness like the flu or covid 19 I'm still worried that I will contract it and develop complications. I work at a hospital, so that doesn't help my fears any. Does anyone know or is this still too new for this sort of information to be known?

How do I cope with all the hassle of staying healthy when my main reasons for trying are gone? I'm not a young guy, I've loved a lot and I've lost a lot. I lost the biggest in my entire life tonight and, while I'm actually quite calm and maybe a little numb, my future no longer really has any interest. I've been through a lot in my life, and meeting her was so wonderful and beautiful, we just clicked... And now it's ended, and my hopes for the future went with it. All my interests and motivations. Too many eggs in the basket I suppose. But there they went. I've seen it coming for a few weeks. My fiancee had an extremely traumatic year with the loss of a very close family member and, in her own words, is utterly broken. Little hints here and there, some strange shyness around me the other week, and lots of talk of having to go it alone through this ordeal. She ultimately wants to make major changes in her life and, prior to recently, or maybe tonight? Always seemed to plan to want me to go with. Due to my health potentially causing severe complications if I get sick, we decided to stay apart during the quarantine. Now I'll probably not see her again at all in happy times. Tonight we broke up. She seemed to be looking for an opening and took it the first time I said something controversial. I guess it was easier for her to have something to get angry about. Yesterday I came very close to posting in this forum about how hard it was to be away from her, and from her dogs (who adopted me as their own daddy). The whole pack got me through the loss of my own beautiful dog a year ago... And now they're gone to me too. I guess I'm already a casualty of COVID19. I can't help but feel indifferent at this point about whether I get it or whether it takes me. My future ended tonight and I'm old enough that I don't have the heart or the interest in picking up the pieces and trying to move on again. At the end of the day, I just don't understand why anyone would want to throw away such a close relationship over literally nothing, over text of all things. We were such close friends, and her family was wonderful to me, and more than than anything I suppose I fear for her. It was too abrupt and unnecessary to make any sense.

Hi, here is a helpful article about grocery and package handing. I have been too afraid to even get a grocery delivery and I am nearly out of food. This current article is very good and explains that it is safer than I thought, and how to keep the risk low. I hope this is helpful for someone.

Is there a hashtag for all the creative recipes being made during quarantine? I hope this post fits in here! So many people are getting creative with what they have in their pantries while they're stuck at home and I love seeing what people come up with! This is how I learned to cook, and where some of my best recipes have come from. Cooking like this is what taught me the value of every cultural dish I've ever made. We all have ancestors who, once upon a time, only had a few ingredients. Maybe not enough of them. But they also had a hungry family and their own ingenuity. Most of our comfort foods and most famous cuisines came from one brave person somewhere back in time, taking a desperate situation and turning it into something comforting and worthy of being passed down through generations! Cooking is how I honor the courage of our ancestors. I would love to have a hashtag so we can celebrate the courage and ingenuity of modern people during this pandemic as well! If one doesn't already exist, perhaps we can make one? #Coronarecipies is simple?

Take my breath away Hey everyone, I've been struggling with anxiety for years now, staying with a case of mono that tripped something in my brain. Now, it seems a bunch of things there me down my anxiety well. The biggest of all is the sensation of not being able to breath. This does not bode well, considering the state of the world and this pandemic. I do not wish anxiety of any kind on anyone, but I almost feel jealous of people that have the more tangeable anxiety disorders. I know, about 99% sure, that I do not have Covid-19, but that or course does not translate to my anxiety. I don't know if I'm asking for help dealing or if I'm just looking for a place to put all this into words, but I heard about this sub and thought I might give it a try. Stay safe entering

I have lost 100 % of my projects for April ... that means my salary is $0.00 I work with social media and was making a living with multiple projects/endorsements. My last project just pulled out. This means I am now officially unemployed. I don’t know if I am eligible for unemployment benefits because I was basically working as a private contractor. When they called me, I fell into shock. I am panicked about what I am going to do until I can find more projects. I feel horrible because I know people are losing their lives and I am scared I can’t pay my bills (one of these is much more important than the other). I am so scared that this is our new normal. I don’t know how to do this long term; I had medical problems as a kid which puts me at high risk to become seriously ill if I contract corona. Im really scared and overwhelmed and honestly I just want a hug. Im sorry to complain when I know I have a lot to be thankful for.

My little nephew has tested COVID-19+ My nephew Gabe, I have seen him grow up from the time he was a baby. He was different from the time he was little, and grew up a little odd. I guessed early on that he might be somewhere on the autism spectrum, and I was right, I am sad to say. I'm not sad he's special, I just hate for him to have to deal with the struggles that come with it. He has grown up into a wonderful young man of 16 years. I was away from him for about ten years when I had to go do 9 years for a non violent first offense drug bust, 10grams of LSD, and in the time between we had been separated because I could not get in touch with his mother. I went down to visit his family during my father's recent death, and it was so beautiful to reconnect with him. He is smart as a whip, and loves transformers, pokemon, and anime. We get along famously, and have been in touch over facebook since I have been able, to support to encourage him. About as soon as I was through being homeless in Feb, this whole COVID-19 thing started. First it was in china, then it was in Italy, then it was in the internet, in the news, in America, then no ramen soups or TP, lockdowns, and now my poor little nephew is sick with the creeping crud! I wish he was asymptomatic, but he is showing signs of infection and got a test after being exposed to some family from Florida that had it. He tested positive, and now he's eating pudding to help with his throat. I am keeping in touch and am doing everything I can to get people to pray for him during this troubled time for our great nation. Would you? Even a brief nod would do wonders with the heart of God, I am sure. Thank you in advance. Gabriel is a good dude, and he makes me proud. If anyone wants to pray for him, or suggest some cool stuff for him to check out while he is quarantined down in KY that would be awesome. I'm stressed out, but don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Thanks for being there for me, internet. You better believe you are in my heart, and in my mind. &#x200B; Here is my brave little lionheart right here [https://imgur.com/Q9EsAyA](https://imgur.com/Q9EsAyA)

My Conspiracy-Theorist Father I dont need any advice. I just really need to vent about this. Ever since Father got into InfoWars (I already know what you're thinking. I think it too.) he's been into Conspiracies more than he's ever been. Went from not being at all, to full blown Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams aka Trump is God and he Can't do Wrong (even though we're Canadian). Anyway, normally I'm able to put up with it. Ever since I was young, I've been pretty good at not listening to my parents. However, with this pandemic that's come along, it's become absolutely impossible to shut it out. I'm in the High-Risk category due to Immunosuppressants and low lung capacity, so it's not like I can go live on my own right now. I would not be able to support myself. He's going on about how the flu is killing more people, and when I try to point out that it's due to different time frames (one year of stats for flu and two months of stats of SARS-CoV-2), he dismisses it because it's coming from his Son and not one of his fear-mongering gods. He's completely incapable of seeing that InfoWars makes money off of situations like these and people's fear. So why the hell would they not play it up to get more people viewing. It's tough. Especially because I'm in that high-risk group and he's completely invalidating my fear. I'm just so fucking sick of it and I know this is just the beginning.

Remember...it might not happen Friendly reminder that the worst-case scenario you're thinking about might never happen. Things could turn out better than you expect. So cheer up! Be smart and be prepared, by all means, but take a moment to think about the good outcomes, and remind yourself that those are possibilities, too. You'll feel better.

All I want to know is when this will be over. Nothing has been normal since the past three weeks. I want this virus to die in a hole. I want society to go back to normal. Humans are meant to be out and about, but it'll only jeopardize our health and everyone else's if we all do. I want know when. That is my biggest question.

Essential employee, worried I might have COVID I hope this is the right place for this - I'm worried more about my (and others') physical health than mental health here, but I need some advice. I'm a cashier at an essential retailer in Colorado. For the past two weeks I've had a mild cough, so I've been trying to come in as little as possible. On tuesday I thought that my cough had gone away so I came to work, but about halfway through my shift I started having breathing problems. I've been home since then and my breathing got worse, plus a dry cough and now sore throat. Unsure if I have a fever, as we don't own a thermometer. Aside from having to breathe heavier, I feel fine enough, so I plan on waiting this out at home for now. But I'm really worried about spreading this to coworkers/customers - moreso if it is COVID. I've been using up some emergency sick time, but since I've been sick all of the past week too, I'm almost out of it. My work allows us to take a 2-week leave of absence, but it's unpaid. We do have a policy in place that gives unpaid time if we're ordered to self-quarantine, or if we're diagnosed. Because of all this, I've been thinking of calling my PCP to see if I can get a self-quarantine order, so that I don't have to choose between my livelihood and the health of those around me. I don't want to add to the overload on the healthcare system though, and I also don't know how to confront the issue, because I don't want to demand a doctor's note. Testing here is scarce, so that's unlikely too. What should I do? Should I call my doctor, and if so what should I tell them?

Wynn hotel staff stuck head in my car window - during quarantine wife and I went for a drive last night. we live in las vegas suburbs. we get groceries delivered, and don't interact with people - all CDC and news says driving is ok. so we assumed so. we went by the vegas strip to see how empty it is. there were police EVERYWHERE. that made me feel good... I was happy they are ramping up security. other than cars, no one really around. casinos closed. as we drove , some roads blocked. as we passed Wynn - a road was blocked, and police motioned for us to use the Wynn entry to do a U turn. so we did. as we go through - right at the entry point - 5 Wynn security guards circle our car. blocking path. and they keep motioning to roll window down. flashlights pointed at us. I tried to motion that we doing U TURN. ... they drew closer... and one started banging on the window to roll the window down. I cracked the window open. I screamed out so he could hear "we are doing a u turn!" he goes "I know but I need to see your face". at that point my options were - to run them over - or open the window. they were completely surrounding the car in that moment. so I rolled the window down. and - he proceeded to shove his face IN OUR CAR to get a good look at us. and breathe on us. ii was FURIOUS. I wanted to get out and yell at him. but I figured the quicker we get out of there the safer. so we drove home. it resulted in anxiety for a few hours for us. I have ideas for next time - maybe drive less haha. but also maybe have a sign I can post to the windshield in these cases telling idiots like this to BACK THE F- UP from the car. statistically i'm sure it's fine... but now i'm contacting corporate. i'm gonna need them to monitor that staff employee and let me know asap if they get sick. what kind of imbecile service industry training is this? during a quarantine, when you've shut down your hotels and casinos, have countless infected IN your work... you are training people to put their heads in cars???? do they not realize there's a social distancing/quarantine in effect? I also get they were anxious and nervous. they likely wanted to make sure we not going on the property to do damage. I get it. (I drive a sports car... and my wife looks very young... so I get the anxiety.... ) but man... friggin put a barricade up and just stand a few feet back! how hard is it!??!

Apartment neighbors coughing up a storm I just need to vent right now because these people have me absolutely livid and this is the one time where I don’t feel safe confronting them over their bad behavior. I live in a complex where our apartments open to a semi-enclosed breezeway (one end is entirely open to the outdoors). There are four apartments off this breezeway, front doors are probably 20 or so feet apart. I live on the open-ended side. The apartment diagonally across from me has their door open and two people inside are coughing up a storm. I’ve called the office, I’ve called the police department, I’ve even called my state’s social distancing compliance hotline. I need someone to reassure me that if these inconsiderate folks have this disease that the chances of it wafting into my living room are negligible.

My wife is unsure what to do. She's essential, but we have the money if she gets fired for not working My wife has a non essential job but because she falls under the health department umbrella, she's essential and would probably be reassigned to Covid19 duty. I hear the horror stories. We have the means to be ok if they fire her for not coming in. What should I do? She cant really work from home I don't think. She's terrified of being fired but I swear, I don't want her working for someone who doesn't care about her health.

Recommend a therapist, please TL;DR SIL is losing her mind because of COVID-19 and I am trying to find her some help My sister-in-law is losing her mind because of COVID-19. She (40's) came down from [Major City] to our much much smaller town and has moved in with her parents until this epidemic subsides. She brought her daughter and her cat and not very much else. Here's the problem: She screams if anybody leaves the house because "she just knows they'll get infected and bring it back". She screams if people don't listen to her because "she just knows best". She had a panic attack because my wife (her sister) went over with out kids *at their mother's request*. Come forward to today and while I was at work their dad came over unannounced to help my wife (his daughter) with a [overly specific mechanical problem]. When my sister-in-law found out that he had "snuck out like a teenager" (yes, her words) she demanded that her mother (my mother-in-law) immediately drive her over. After some yelling she crumpled and did just that. Now I have my sister-in-law standing in my driveway screaming at her sister (my wife) that she was "trying to murder her dad with the virus". My wife is a wreck and now that I'm home I am in damage control with the neighbors. Can anybody recommend a mental health resource in central Florida (or anywhere in the State if they offer virtual or phone support) for people suffering *in this way* as a result of COVID-19? It doesn't have to be free or charity of any sort. I'll find the money to pay for her to get better because we are at a point where she won't allow windows to be open if she hears *anything* outside.

To work or to wait? I was just cut early from my temp job in IT. I was really counting on working there at least through the summer before going back to school in August, but that was before this whole thing with the virus escalated and they needed to cut down on staff. My plan was just to save some more money for the commute and other necessities for school. And I like to always have some extra money laying around for emergencies, kind of like now. My friends who have also lost their jobs are now working in food delivery and some stores, despite being fearful, and I'm thinking of doing the same. There are a lot of jobs for stocker/freight in my city right now. I guess I'm just not sure if I should wait it out or risk it and go work for a little while and hope I don't get sick. I think I know the answer but I would like outside opinions. Help please

My sister has washed her n95 mask with filter with bleach and now wants to use the mask because it "smells clean" Well the title says it. She is so paranoid about cleanliness that she took the n95 mask, soaked it in solution of bleach and then rinsed it with water to dry. It has the "detergent" smell and she says that the filter still smells fine and that air quality she breathes in hasn't changed. I'm afraid that bleach vapors may damage her inner linings. I'm not sure what to do. Can i somehow neutralize bleach on mask to stop the toxic fumes be inhalated? P.S. I have done my googling share.

I'm doing my best and still breaking down. Please, I need comfort and advice. The virus entered my country a month ago. The past few weeks I've been struggling with my mom (58). She was proud to lead her regular life and just doing the absolute minimal: washing her hands. She kept doing all of the other things you're not supposed to. I had my first breakdown around then. It was an awful week and we kept fighting about it. There was no convincing her with a civilized talk. But eventually, with a little help, she almost miraculously realized how important her cooperation is and was on board with every safety measure and haven't left the house since. It TREMENDOUSLY helped relieve my stress levels. Then there is my uncle (60+), who lives with us. He is just not willing to understand, going out (almost) every day to do grocery shopping by the piece. We tried to talk to him but this is the type of human being who is NOT willing to cooperate or really support anyone under any circumstance. He's an asshole like that. He won't understand even if his own mother who is 91 lives with us. Everytime he leaves the house I get into so much panic and stress that won't go away unless I clean and disinfect every area he is in and touches after entering the house. The only days where I'm sort of at peace are when no one leaves the house. I've been the only one in this household who has taken this seriously enough since the beginning and the only one responsible for raising awareness, organizing cleaning rounds, safety measures and sharing information, correcting processes and such. On the other hand, I'm in a long distance relationship and my boyfriend isn't really of much help. He has been insinuating I'm exaggerating with all of this and got mad at me for asking if he took a shower after moving from one state to another. He took offense on that and thought THAT justified him in being a jerk to me. Never apologized. I don't trust him anymore when it comes to talking about my anxiety and fear of all of this. I don't know when will we be able to visit each other. And even after all of that I was sort of managing. I discovered cleaning and disinfecting the house really helped me ease down a lot. Everytime I felt bad, I resorted to either cleaning or comfort myself with reassuring words and reasoning. Maybe not much but I've always been kind of unstable and being able to do this all by myself was a huge step for me. I felt in control and strong enough. And then it happened. I'm recovering from a cold I caught before the first case of covid19 was detected in my country. But there's a residual cough that won't go away. I talked to my mom about how I'm worried about that and she accused me of hiding information about being with someone who was already infected. I hadn't been out much other than grocery shopping and always had extreme precautions. I don't know where it came from. It took me off guard and it totally destroyed me. It ended in a fight again. I spent most of the day crying in my room, suicidal thoughts triggered, unable to feel anything other than rage and hurt. It felt as if all of the stress and fear I thought I had successfully managed up until then came pouring down on me. I haven't been able to recover. I feel like crap, I only want to sleep all day. Today, I don't feel as angry anymore but I really don't want to do anything, be it cleaning, getting off of bed, nor even eating. Last night, I went to bed early, hoping a bit more of sleep would help me feel better in the morning. But these voices woke me up. Laughter. Somebody freaking coughing. I looked out the window and there was a group of 3 people from the building next to my house hanging out on the roof, smoking, everyone next to each other and one of the guys was coughing in the general direction of my house. It triggered my anxiety SO BAD, I was shaking, about to cry and wasn't able to sleep until 7 am. People in my country are definitely not taking this seriously and I can't even describe how that makes me feel. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to handle all of this anymore. I feel so lonely in this battle. I don't have many friends and I feel like they're tired of me talking about this, I don't want to push them away. I wish my family was really united and cared about this. I feel terrible, I can't even describe it.... TL;DR: uncle over 60 putting at risk an entire household of people with all the risk factors by carelessly going out everyday in a country full of people that doesn't take this seriously. I'm having ugly anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts and have a very small support system.

Mum says it’s nothing and I’m fine ... (kinda venty, fed up with family just ignoring me mostly) Other end of 20, badly autistic, and Woke up feeling pretty crap today, stomach issues, feeling like bad gurgles and then being unable to go..real tired, dizzy, it took too much effort to get out of bed because I felt disconnected from limbs. And my hearts been racing. Tho I suffer bad anxiety anyway, I’m celiac too with ‘ibs flares’ and my doctor mentioned raised bilirubin levels a few weeks back but now my scan‘s been pushed out of the way.. but I’m worried this might be Covid, tho I’ve got no cough (and idk how to tell bc i had a normal bad cold a while ago and a small cough has lingered and won’t go away so mum says we can’t count coughs.) and while my throat hurt first time I woke, feels pretty moist atm...I told my mum how I felt tho and she basically yelled at me that “you don’t have it stop going on the internet” and dads banned mentioning the virus in the house. mum says it’s all just ‘because your period is due, and you‘ve been putting effort into cleaning your room so you feel achy bc your just older than you were ten years ago’ while dads paranoid that a parcel I got from eBay had the virus on it even tho mom wiped it over with a disinfectant wipe and I washed my hands after handling the item, which I’m now not allowed to touch for a month. (My mum dosnt want any of us to get it lit bc she’s the carerer for my grandad, and he’s threatening to go talk to strangers if she dosnt keep going over there. She even said if I get it she’ll move out to live with him so I’ll have ‘to just deal with it alone’..and she’s a big support for me too..tho she acts like I’m a burden 60% of the time) the news isn’t really clear on symptoms of covid or what they actually feel like either, just vague descriptions and ‘stay at home if you cough’ so I’m worried. I have a bunch of medical things the doctors were in the middle of trying to figure out and then stopped so I’m terrified if it is covid it’ll be real bad and I’ll die and then my friends would never find out, and I’m scared and my family are tbh, just always ignoring me When I try and talk about how I feel for help...I don’t really know how to know if it’s covid bc the U.K. isn’t testing unless your in hospital suffering or over 70 so...

Supermarket had eggs! Small victory - but still a win. the supermarket near me had eggs again! Our 4 kids eat a lot of eggs if given the chance... Scrambled eggs for our family means cooking up a dozen eggs at once... Not having eggs for a few weeks was hard on them. The biggest impact this virus has had on them so far is that they cant have eggs for breakfast. :) We had a huge family breakfast today and it was really nice to see how happy they were to have eggs. I am proud of my teenage kids. They are taking this in stride and being stoic. The teenagers know I may lose my job, but they know how much emergency fund we have and that I have a life insurance policy in place that will take very good care of them if I pass, and that if I am on unemployment I have a budget set that will allow us to keep house. I have talked them through how to pay bills and take care of little ones if wife and I are in hospital at same time. I know at that age I was aware my parents could die from just about anything and was sort of ready for it. I see the determination on their faces and realize they have grown up. They are ready. In the face of a challenge, they have risen up and are ready to make a life for themselves in the face of massive uncertainty. It helps knowing that they will be ok.

I might have it, 2 questions, please help! I have no fever. No headache. No cough (ok maybe I cough 4 times a day but I also smoke weed so I feel it to be normal) I have a little bit less energy for yard work and exercise than usual. I lost my sense of smell a couple days ago, which spooked me. I have a slight sharpness in the top of my breath, I could call it a very slight rawness in my lungs. My friend is a doctor and said “you have it, stay isolated, it’s good to get it now and get over it, you will be immune” Problem is, my girl wants to visit me (we live 4 hours apart and haven’t seen eachother in almost a month). I am terrified to give it to her and have her actually get sick. So my question is: if I do have it, when am I no longer contagious?? I believe CDC says 7 days after symptoms disappear, 3 days after fever breaks (i have no fever) Question 2: isn’t everyone gonna get it eventually??? If it spreads this easy?? Is it fruitless for her to avoid me because she’s just gonna get it anyway when quarantine is over? That is the part I really don’t get. Are old folks just gonna stay in their houses forever? I can’t imagine it just disappearing, because if it spreads so easy, than even one person having it in the world will result in an outbreak (yes no?)

A little break from the worry and anxiety... I have never had more anxiety than now, at this unprecedented time in our history. In the first week or so of quarantine, I felt that my anxiety would not stop until this was over. And when would that be? Two, three months from now?! How could I bare to wake up every day knowing I would have feelings of hopelessness and helplessness every waking minute. I worry about my parents, who still go to stores when they need something. I worry about my boyfriend, who has an autoimmune disorder. I worry about his parents and grandparents. It is all too much. But I found a saving grace, and a way to get rid of all of the noise, even just for an hour - YOGA AND MEDITATION. Maybe some of you have started this during quarantine too, and maybe some of you are thinking about it. So I am here to say that it has not only helped me escape for a short period of time in the day, but it has actually helped my anxiety even after class is over. I never thought it would, but after three straight days, I feel a little more at peace with myself. Don't get me wrong, I still worry, and this is not a cure all for anxiety, but the high levels of panic have subsided for the most part. I can't say this is all attributed to the classes, but I know they are part of it! So, if you can, go online and see what classes are being offered virtually. Many instructors are hosting free classes, and others at very low price. It gives you some social interaction (even if you don't turn your camera on like me) and gives your mind and body a rest. Anyway, long post, but give it a try. You might like how you feel. : )

My life couldn't be more fucked. It would still be hard without COVID but now it's even worse. I have never been more afraid for my own survival. I am awaiting my COVID-19 test which I only had yesterday. 7-10 business days to get results. Where do I begin? I feel like vomiting because I am so terrified. My husband and I have been having problems for a while, but everything came to a head this week. Two days ago, he broke his promise to me that I would always have a safe place here, and told me he wanted to divorce. I'm not here to get relationship advice. Regardless of who is to blame for my situation, this is the situation. And coronavirus makes it almost impossible to survive it. It is really really hard to find a job right now because of the economy tanking. I don't even know what jobs I can do given my mental health issues. There are no courts open for divorce lawyers because of coronavirus, so we can't start the proceedings. Some people on legaladvice told me that even if I find out my test is negative and I go stay with a friend, it will disadvantage me in the divorce process later for some reason they didn't really explain well. They say don't leave the house under any circumstances. We are trying to do teletherapy, but my therapist is completely overburdened by all of the other people dealing with massive life crashes due to coronavirus, including losing loved ones and losing their income, etc. Every friend of mine is stretched to the max so I am here dealing with all of these intense feelings of fear totally alone. I'm afraid of losing more friends. My emotional neediness has always been a problem for me but now it is not only making the symptoms worse, but making recovery harder. I am so so so so fucked. I HAD a safe place to be, my husband's job isn't affected by the virus because he worked from home anyway. He was willing to take care of me. I blew it and I don't know what I'm going to do or what will become of my life. I could lose everything. I've started reading suicide forums again because there may be no place for me to go. It all feels like blackness and darkness imagining life after this virus.

Essential workers - Collaboration from the general public?! Hi, I'm a pharmacist. I'm one of the many essential workers who still have to go to work in the midst of this pandemic...which I don't mind. I love my job and people need us more than ever. But, am I the only who feels like it's hard to get collaboration and understanding from the general public? Despite all of our warnings and the government's, I still see at the pharmacy a lot of people who shouldn't be there, ex. 70 year old and over, immunocompromised patients, people who just can back from vacation, etc. Many people are still very combative and don't want to comply with our new procedures: physical distancing, no items passing, no cash payment, come at the pharmacy's only if there's a necessity, better to call the pharmacy instead of coming for questions and refills, etc. I feel like some people still think it's a joke... Do you have any specific new procedures at your workplace? How do you get customers to collaborate? I did a fun video on things to do and not do at the pharmacy during this COVID19 pandemic...in the hope that people receive and understand the message! Youtube video: [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDx4CGipBoM&t=362s**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDx4CGipBoM&t=362s) Let me know what you think!

It's almost impossible to be ok. Hey guys, I know i'm one of the many who have terrible anxiety over the virus. For a lot of people that might be insignificant, but it's breaking my heart daily. Me and my boyfriend have been living together for 4 years and a couple of months and on his birthday 26th Feb I left the UK where we live to attend to a medical issue with my bladder back in my home country. Meanwhile this covid nightmare happened and now I can't return I don't know when I will see him and the worst part is i don't believe i will ever see him again.. He is alone and lonely, thankfully I am with my beautiful family, all of who are in the risk factor. I kinda forbid myself to worry about them by focusing all my emergy on not seeing my boyfriend. The pain is so strong that I literally forbid myself to think about him and it hurts to see him on camera. I try not to focus too much on the bad news, but it's so painful to see all these families around the world broken, because of this disease. I just want health for eveyone... I just want this to be over... How do you guys cope with being away from loved ones and being scared for the future of the world?

Being Told To Come Into Work - Advice Needed (England, UK) For some context, I work in a payroll department for a recruitment healthcare company in England, UK, and as of the other day- the government outlined that we are only to go outside in the following circumstances: * shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible * one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household * any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person * travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home It's the latter one I'm having an issue with my work, and honestly- some conflict between myself and my family and loved ones. My management believe that what we are doing is essential because it is in the healthcare sector, and therefore everyone has to come in, however with the list of key workers, from what I understand recruiters & people in finance aren't those, and therefore aren't essential. I understand that without finance- there's no pay for workers, but we are still being made to come into work. More of an issue, is that hypothetically- the only thing that stops me from being able to be 100% functional at home is a printer. We use a system whereby we print out the time-sheets of our agency staff as part of our process, and the company want us in the office to do this. To give you context, our building is a huge communal office block, which whilst they have their own measures (lots of hand sanitisers etc - it's still a risk and requires me to trust that other people in the building as being as hygienic). In theory, yes I could buy a printer, but it's the principle that my company won't get me a printer to ensure my safety and health during these times. This is all because the company won't get me a printer. I'm unsure as to whether I should make some form of complaint and if so- how. There is no HR (I'm technically the most qualified person there, but with no work experience- just a qualification), and I'm honestly worried about the reaction of my management as they don't have the best coping skills for these sorts of thing (personal experience, and experience of other people within my company). I also worry that if the situation here gets worse, there will be tougher restrictions and I won't be able to do my job at all, which would mean very minimal pay (as the company itself won't close, I most probably won't be entitled to furlough). What would be the best course of action?

My best friend has it, his fiance's father is currently in the ICU, I think I may have it too now, on top of other things. I have (or rather had) a friend who was one of those idiots who thought ignoring the quarantine was a good idea, meanwhile i'm in the worst hit area of the US. She gave it to my friend, and somehow it bypassed his fiance but got her father, who is now on oxygen in the ICU, and most likely not going to make it. My friend who now has it also has severe asthma. I believe I have it as well, because i've had odd symptoms here and there, coughing fits, body aches, chest pain, but chalked them up to anxiety, as I have severe anxiety and panic disorder in the best of times. My father has severe COPD and is a goner if he gets this, but I have nowhere to go at the moment. He's also still out in the world, working, as he's essential. but he's pushing 60 and has COPD. On top of all of this, I ran out of my anxiety medication because the last two weeks have been so stressful, and my doctor refuses to renew my script early or up my doseage (i've been on it for almost ten years, with no incident) and I can't get it until the 4th, which means i'll be going through withdrawls on top of rebound anxiety on top of stress from this whole situation. Even before I ran out of my meds, I had flu-like symptoms, chest tightness and body aches, and i'm only 27. My immune system is also garbage, I get the flu or a very bad cold that leaves me bedridden at least once a year. The symptons my friend has and the symptoms I think i'm feeling line up with the incubation time, because we know who the idiot who spread it is, and can deduce our last exposure to them. I already suffer from anxiety and panic attacks in an extreme manner, I have clinical depression, I most likely have covid, my best friend has it, his fiance's father is dying from it, and for all I know I already spread it to my family without knowing. I was denied a test, my friend only managed to get one because he works as a psychiatric counselor. I don't think I can get through the week of hell to come, between all of this sickness, unsureity, the benzodiazepine withdrawls that are already starting to kick in, not knowing if I have it or not. I'm losing hope, if I have it and it doesn't kill me, i'm considering taking myself out. I already disliked this world, and this new world is one I don't want to be a part of.

Anxiety and catastrophic thinking - tryin to adapt to a new routine for some “normalcy” Like many of you, I’ve been extremely anxious last several weeks I’ve been at home. I live by myself in NYC as an Asian American female with senior parents. This combo with anxiety and catastrophic thinking has been extremely difficult. Not only am I worrying about covid19 as a pandemic, but I worry about the racist attacks on my community, the vulnerability of my senior parents, forced self isolation while living alone, being in the epicenter of the virus and the scary/unknown nature of this all. I’m doing my best to cope, but as someone who is obsessive about preventing uncomfortable situations - this fucking sucks. I’m doing my best to adapt to this new “normal”, but it’s really hard especially when you don’t have roommates or anyone to focus on the present with. As I’m writing this, I hear someone intensely coughing outside my window. Sigh, another point of escalating anxiety. Anyone relate and share their coping strategies?

Getting stressed out about all this. Shit is starting to really hit the fan here in the US. Confirmed and suspected COVID cases are going through the roof. Many close friends of mine have come to me for support, and I'm trying to help them but it's hard to pour from an empty cup, and I'm getting more and more stressed out as time goes on. The fact that a ton of people are *convinced* that things are going to magically return to normal any day now and that it's "just a flu," along with the sheer amount of "positive news" that is just multibillionaires donating pissiant sums of their gargantuan fortunes to help us poors doesn't help. To top it all off, my uni barely understands how to move everything online, and is setting up to basically drop anyone without a solid internet connection out of anything. And this is all *before* things have truly begun to get bleak here in the US. The sheer amount of misinformation and fake news floating around doesn't help as well. I just wish I could get solid answers on how dangerous things are, rather than twelve different reactionary pundits desperately trying to save their stock portfolios.

Pretty sure I have it. Scared about chest pain. Wassup peeps. I had sore throat for first few days that turned into light fever and muscle cramps all over. This morning and yesterday I started having chest pain and random sharp poking feelings around my chest and side of my chest. At some times I feel like I need to breathe deeper to get more oxygen. I checked pulses and it feels pretty normal. It's not unbearable. But I am so scared I might get heart attack at random moment and die alone. I don't have coughs but throat still feels swollen and not normal... I am feeling really anxjous. I am in my early thirties. I know I should be okay but cardiac arrest seems to happen to random ppl.

I feel like an asshole for telling my boyfriend I can see him He just doesn’t understand that I didn’t make the rules of this pandemic. I’m choosing to not see him even when he needs me because it’s in everyone’s best interest, not just ours. If it were up to me I’d see him every day and cuddle him constantly so he knows he’s not lonely but I can’t do that. No one can and some even have it worse than I do. I know I’m not the asshole but I can’t help but feel like I am because I’m (sorta) choosing to not see him when he needs me

Keep the health care workers in your thoughts and prayers My husband is a nurse and he just informed me he will be working with Covid patients tonight. I'm so worried he's going to get. This is only our second year of marriage. I'm usually the more positive one in our marriage. But with this virus it's hard not to think of the worst case scenario.

Just need to vent... I just need to vent. Today has been really hard. I'm a freelancer in NYC, so I've already lost a lot of work. Today, I officially lost my part time job that I had to supplement my not always stable freelance income. I also found out that based on my 2018 tax return, I won't qualify for the stimulus check, because I was a student then and my mom listed me as a dependent. I no longer receive financial support from family, and I'm sure there are others in this situation as well. I tried to quickly do my 2019 taxes so they would look at that instead, but the website I have to access to get one of my returns is down until further notice and I can't contact support because they're closed due to the virus. I also almost got scammed on UpWork today when looking for remote freelance work. I just feel like I can't win. I was only just now getting financially stable after finishing school last May. It has been my dream to move to New York my entire life, so I did right after graduation. I've essentially been living paycheck to paycheck since I got here, but I was finally just within the past couple of months starting to make more money, and it feels like my progress doesn't even matter now. I'm just scared. I'm afraid of having to leave New York after working so hard to get here. I also have dealt with illness related anxiety since I was a child, so that hasn't been easy during all this either. I know there are people going through much worse during this time. I know how privileged I sound. I know how lucky I am to not be sick myself or have lost someone to the virus already. I know. I just needed to vent, and I'd love to here from anyone who can relate. I hope you guys are doing okay. Sending love to all. <3

My mother is in the icu on life support and tested positive for covid. There are 4 people in my house who may also have it We’re in Southern California.This doesn’t feel real. My dad is 60, aunt is 55 and mentally handicapped brother is 24. I took my mother to the er Tuesday night and they immediately thought it was covid. Just got the call that it was. My family here is terrified and I don’t know why I’m typing this. I’ve never been this scared in my life and this doesn’t feel real. None of us are showing symptoms yet but it feels like we’re doomed.

Anyone need a quarantine friend? I have ADHD, and I've struggled with depression and anxiety on and off throughout my life, but I seem to be holding up okay right now. Anyone want someone to chat with while we're all stuck in isolation?

I just need to let this off my chest Lately I have just been feeling nothing but overwhelmed by this pandemic. Some days I am fine I continue my daily routine of getting out of bed, going to work, going back home and repeat. I try to do my favorite things to keep myself entertained, but lately I don't even think that is working. I feel like I am just starting to lose my happiness. When I drive out for what I need or heading to work I see the roads almost nearly empty. Places I normally loved to go to like my local parks, mall, stores all of it is just shut down now and it sucks. I know everyone is going through it and I know the reasoning behind it all. It just hurts to see everything so empty. I haven't been able to see any of my friends either. A huge connection I had to socializing as an introvert was meeting up with my local friends to play Pokemon Go. I loved that and it was a huge part of my life just feels like it was taken away. You might think it's silly I am upset over a game, but it's more than just a game. It was a way for me to be myself and to see wonderful people who loved the same stuff I did. Also even if my best friend lived closer I know I shouldn't be seeing him. Then comes the most difficult part of what I decided to do lately was to at least limit the amount of time I see my girlfriend. Normally we love to hang out over the weekend, but this weekend I said we should really at least quarantine ourselves for at least two weeks so to skip this weekend. I know it's not permanent and i'll likely see her soon, but it was hard to do. We also had two events that we were really looking forward to going to get cancelled. It's just all a lot to take in. No dining in with friends, no dining in with the girlfriend, no fun trips to go to, no sports to watch, no stores to go to aside from essentials, no hanging out with friends and the list just continues. Anyway thanks for those who toke the time to read my post I honestly appreciate it and even if this post didn't get a single view I appreciate that I was able to find a place where I can let out all my emotions and feelings.

Adive - Should I go to work or stay home and risk the financial consequences Hello, I was wondering if any of you give me an opinon/advice on what the right course of action is. I live in Ontario (Canada) and I work full-time at a warehouse. We do not ship out anything essential but it is still legal for us to be open. I take two buses to get to work and I am terrified of contracting Covid-19. I am 24 and in good health but my dad is 60 years old and my mom is 52 with a host of serious mental health problems. I do not want to bring this virus home, but at the same time I am scared of asking work to lay me off. They wont penalize me for it, but I am scared of the financial consequences. To be honest I am in a better position than others financially. I do have savings but I am a student who intends to use most of that money for school but I live with my parents and do not pay rent. I help them with bills and while my parents arent well off they are at least stable financially speaking. However I know this virus is throwing Canada and the world into a bad reccession. I initally agreed to work despite the pandemic because I thought it would be wiser to work a lot and save money to prepare for the recession, especially since I recieved a temporary raise of $17 (CDN). Also I have severe ADHD so having some sort of structure is helpful and keeps me from letting myself go. Buisness is booming at the moment but how long will that last? We ship out stuff related to hobbies and the like not exactly the things people buy during a recession. Will I even be able to come back to my job after things calm down, whenever that is? I am doing my best to keep a distance from people, but I am worried it is not enough. As more days pass and the fear and paranoia in the news and in society increases so does my anxiety. I almost burst into tears at work today cause I was scared of contratcing the virus and taking it home. I don't know anymore if deciding to work rather than isolate is a good idea. Every time a public service announcement comes on the TV it tells people to stay at home as much as possible and here I am working. Between my parents income and my savings I might be okay or I might not be. The uncertanity and anxiety is driving me insane and I don't know if I am just going to trade one concern for another. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice on this situation that would be appreciated and any tips on how to stay sane.

PLEASE help ease my anxiety: Does anyone know of someone, or have news articles of people who were diagnosed, over 50+ years old, and only had mild symptoms, or have even recovered? Not only do my brother and his wife work as ER nurses, my dad, 60, has to go back to work as a security officer at an off-site ER and I am petrified. I have no doubt one of my family members will contract this. I have been having anxiety attacks about my dad going back to work for three days now. My dad was recently out of work due to hip surgery and was approved yesterday to go back to work (he starts Wednesday). He is fairly healthy, I believe only on HTN medication, but with his age, I don’t know what to expect when he does contract this. I am a student nurse myself and currently under a lot of stress aside from worrying about my family. I have done a lot of research and even tried searching the “good news,” of those who suffered mild symptoms, but the bad is just so overpowering. He cannot, not work. None of my family wants him to, but money. Please help me. Please assure me that he could be okay. Send me articles, send me links, send me stories of those of those at this age that have survived. I’m just imagining my life with out him already and I don’t even know if all that I’m thinking will even happen.

If CARES Bill relief is based on 2018 or 2019 tax returns, but I had a child in January 2020, will I be eligible for the additional $500 of relief benefits for my child even though they were not claimed on my 2019 tax filing? Just the question in the title. I have searched several resources outlining the CARES Bill and have not found any answer to this specific situation. Our baby was born on January 17, 2020.

Live in NYC- Haven't heard from any out of state friends. I am alone and restless in my apartment. The atmosphere of the city is grim. All my friends back home know I live in NYC. With the overwhelming news coverage, I thought I would hear from someone by now but no one has reached out.
