Big word soup needed to vent.... So hey y’all hope everyone’s doing aight and staying safe! I’m having issues keeping sane I’m staying with my grandparents whore 71-72 and gramps is diabetic while gran has some heart issues and I’m terrified of them catching this virus and not knowing if they’d survive it cause if I lost them I’d lose my world and nowhere to go....I’ve had so many meltdowns now and I’m just exhausted....how long do y’all think this is supposed to last till we can start getting lives back together and get to a new normal? I’m trying to limit the risk for them but gramps is the mindset “I’ll be fine it’s not gonna affect me” and makes me wanna strap him to his damn bed >,<. I’ve been washing hands religiously and using gloves when I do grocery runs for gran and doing my best to limit her risk when she has to go in for meds on base or to cosco cause I’m not a member to bulk buy stuff but idk what else to do and hate not being in control of this and the unknown....should I make a bleach water solution and spray everything that’s in a container down? What about mail/packages? I’m terrified and trying to keep things together but feel like it’s slowly spiraling out of my control and I hate it....sorry for the rant just needed to vent and such....hope y’all are doing okay! Much love from a internet stranger!

For this with health anxiety, how are you doing? Every morning spikes the anxiety here. The usual morning cough from stress-smoking, not drinking enough water leading to a dry throat, the fatigue from no sleep and extra meds...

(Unemployment related, hope that’s okay) just frustrated that I don’t know how long I’m going to need to stretch the last of my money. I know money is coming in. I’m in Michigan and have applied for unemployment. I applied the Monday before last, 2 weeks tomorrow. It didn’t seem like anything further needed to be done. I logged onto the website and saw the amount I was allowed to get and when my unemployment started. I could see they verified with my employers how much money I make and the reason I’m seeking unemployment. I’m stressed because I have no idea if I am waiting on them, or they are waiting on me to send in something I’m unaware of. Nobody answers the phones or answers my chat request on their website. They’re just too busy and I’m not trying to complain or say it’s the employees fault. I have a little bit of money to get me through, but it won’t last me all next week. Granted, I have a boyfriend who is still working and can pay the mortgage so it’s not life or death. It’s just really irritating having no idea if I’m all set, and then also if I should expect my check tomorrow or in 2 weeks from now. No idea! Has anyone received their unemployment check after becoming unemployed from covid yet?

anyone else seriously worried about losing a loved one to suicide? Hi all, I live in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn and the lock down has taken a serious hit to my girlfriends' mental health. I'm actually more worried about losing her to suicide than her getting sick. I'm struggling too but I think she's at the end of her rope with everything happening. I feel like I'm juggling trying to take care of my parents and making sure I'm there for them if anything goes wrong and trying to be there for my girlfriend but I'm fumbling the ball. I go to see her once a week. She lives 10 blocks away and she picks me up in her car. I've made us masks with filters and we go straight to her apartment. She's an extrovert and the only interaction she's had with anyone is with me and my family for the past month. It's been extremely hard on her and me. I'm worried when she doesn't text me back or call me in the morning....worried that I've lost her. I still feel guilty for leaving the house but I know that our once a week meeting is keeping her alive. How are you all managing your own mental health and the mental health of loved ones?

Types of Support What helps you feel supported when you're feeling scared or angry around this virus? Any wording, questions, or phrases that help? Anything nonverbal that helps? I'm really struggling to get the support I need from my partner and can use some help. Even I don't know what I need right now.

I wonder how people who have had the virus feel... I'm curious as to how one might feel if one has had the virus and inadvertently passed it to someone who then died from it. Or if one knew that they had it, and then found out that someone else that you came in contact with died from it. How are you handling it? What kind of support do you need?

My roommate and I have been fighting alot because of COVID19 Hey y'all. Before I get into it, I just wanna lay down some information about my roommate(s) and I so you have a little bit more insight. me (tsniagasaxor) • an essential worker in my area, I work retail and my job has no intentions of closing • have been diagnosed with MDD/General Anxiety, for this I am taking medication and seeing a therapist who is also monitoring my manic behaviors • I do everything I can in order to keep my roommate from freaking out, including wiping down groceries, disinfecting the apartment, washing my clothes as soon as I take them off and showering before I sit down my roommate (🐝) • has been diagnosed with anxiety and contagion OCD (she is not on her medication since I've asked) • quit her job and hid in her room since the virus hit the states • has freaked herself out so much that she woke up sick because she hadn't drank/eaten anything roommates boyfriend (🐕) • is also an essential worker, works as a delivery driver for a pharmacy • has graduated with his psych degree in December Okay sorry, now for the problem. I had to leave work to get my dad from the airport. I then dropped him off at my aunt's place where he suggested I wait around for my cousin so he can give me money to get takeout. I agree, considering I didn't want to cook. So I sit outside with my red bull, watching a birthday celebration way more than 6ft away from me, scrolling on Facebook. There's a huge thing of hand sanitizer too, so I use that a few times (in addition to washing my hands after going to the bathroom). It was nice, seeing people trying to get something fun out of this whole pandemic thing. I post a picture of the gathering on my Snapchat. My roommate is outraged. She says I'm not following CDC guidelines and putting everyone in danger. I tell her I have been limiting my distance and washing/sanitizing my hands frequently. That gets overlooked of course and she goes straight into I can't be around her (or her boyfriend) if I'm just going to ignore what her and the CDC says. I explain I'm not ignoring anyone, and if she wants I can just stay in my room, I don't want to leave the apartment I'm also paying for. This escalates by her saying that her, her boyfriend and his dad pay more than I do. That's upsetting. She then goes on to say how I feel isn't as important as their health. Okay cool I guess. At this point I'm crying and my cousin slides me an extra few dollars so I can get something to eat. I leave and get takeout from McDonald's. I told her I would just stay in my room and that I'm not repeating myself. So thats what I did (and I'm still doing). I don't know how to get through to her without having to feel like I am being completely ignored. What makes it worse is that her boyfriend (not that I expect him to side with me or anything) isn't seeing why I'm having a difficult time with this. Any help will be appreciated, I'm kinda tired of being in my room and I want to eat something else that isn't potato chips.

Essential worker with post nasal drip dealing with co-workers and customers in their homes. On medication that causes a cough but I'm also a sufferer of chronic Rhinitis which causes, post nasal drip, sneezing, clearing my throat and blowing my nose. These bouts usually occur in the morning and can last a couple of hours and flare up later at any given moment. It's not fun. It's annoying to me and others around me but now I'm very self conscious because I don't want to make people be fearful that I have covid while working in their home and amongst co workers. I'm going to explain to my supervisor my concerns and maybe they can accommodate me some how. Anyone else go through this and how would you feel if a person who's health is unknown is coughing and sneezing in your home or presence? Am I overreacting?

How the heck should I apply for unemployment? I'am an independent contractor but I can no longer work due to COVID-19. I used to make about 1000$+ dollars a week from my work. I know under the new law (which was voted this Friday) we (independent contractors, freelancers and gig workers) are now eligible to receive unemployment benefits just like regular workers. This is my third week which I'am out of work. Will I be compensated for that time? And how can I apply for this unemployment?

Social distancing and meeting with extended family or who have isolated themselves I live on a large, 500 acre+ forested property in northern California. (I'm very fortunate to be living here during this pandemic). I have 4 adult children and three weeks ago, three of them decided to leave other cities in California and shelter in place with us. Two kids brought along their significant others. We have a total of 8 people sheltering together in 3 different dwellings, including my MIL who is 87. Four of us are in a higher risk category - MIL's age, autoimmune disorders, and past tuberculosis/lung issues (I'm 60 years old and have the past lung issues). We've kept my MIL at a distance from everyone, per her request (we provide her with meals). The rest of us get together for dinners, play games, etc. I think we've had very good practices. I stocked up on essentials soon after the outbreak of Covid19. We send one person for groceries and supplies when needed and try to limit any trips to the store. The challenge is this: My daughter-in-law wants to visit her family who live 20 miles away and my daughter wants to see her boyfriend who is also close by. We are confident that the daughter-in-law's family has been very safe and the boyfriend has also practiced self isolation. Do we bend our rules and allow them to make these visits of other people who are following safe practices? Is there any research or articles on how to deal with this situation? Most everything I read says to hold firm and not have any closes contact with anyone. This issue is causing some family drama. It is hard to gauge the real risk here. Thanks for any input.

My neighbor doesn’t think the virus is a real thing My neighbor is a hard working man in his 40s with a family and has always been kind to me. I ran into to him yesterday while making my way to throw out our trash. He starts mentioning how everyone is making a big deal out of nothing and he doesn’t really follow the news. He mentioned how our president(US) is making sure we profit from this which he thought was a plus because he is helping our economy. Just a way to look out for our country because the virus is just a way for corporations to profit anyway according to him. He didn’t think we should worry about social distancing. I felt the anger building up in me as I asked him if he had read or watched the daily news briefing our state has held regarding our healthy/safety but he said that would be a waste of time. I walked away feeling like I couldn’t trust my fellow human being and I’ll never be able to look at him the same. I hope he doesn’t visit his older family members but I’m sure he will.

Useful Resource Recommendation-Actually Valid Self Help Book written by the Creators of Cognitive Behavior. How to Find & Recommended Use Last night, I remembered a valuable resource recommended to me by a therapist. The creators of cognitive behavioral therapy wrote a book discussing how to moderate the intensity of your reactions to situations. It is called *A Guide to Rational Living* written by Albert Ellis & Robert Harper. The oldest edition is available in archives.org for free to borrow digitally (may contain more biases therapists had at the time), while the most up to date edition is available from multiple sellers for fairly low cost. On Amazon, I see for $5 to $25 after tax/shipping. For people unfamiliar with cognitive behavioral therapy, the idea is that your emotions are valid, but sometimes the intensity of thoughts attached to them can create maladaptive behavior. These maladptive thoughts are to be identified and challenged so the feelings are not so overwhelming. It is normal and healthy to experience fear/grief right now. The idea of targeting such thoughts is to not become immobilized by worry/anxiety/hopelessness/despair. Some people might be able to use the book alone easily enough, but it is recommended that if you are having a particularly hard time that you have someone to discuss it with that has some grasp of cognitive behavioral therapy, at least to start. I imagine it would also be a good book to discuss with friends who are struggling. Old Original Version of the Book: https://archive.org/details/guidetorationall00elli/page/138/mode/2up Newest Version Buying Options: Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Guide-Rational-Living-Albert-Ellis/dp/0879800429/ Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-guide-to-rational-living-albert-ellis-phd/1130040117 Half Price Books: https://www.hpb.com/products/a-guide-to-rational-living-9780879800420 The chapters I would recommend to start in this time would be chapter 1-9 which are conceptual basics. There are also chapters specific to situation. In newest edition would include Chapter 13 How to Feel Frustrated But Not Depressed or Enraged **Chapter 15 Conquering Panic & Anxiety** **Chapter 18 Accepting and Coping with the Grim Facts of Life** The two bolded helped me last night as everything started to click. The thoughts that occurred to me is that I can't control the CDC, federal government, or friends who put themselves at risk, but I can control my exposure to the virus and how I use my waking hours for productivity/connection that I felt were missing. Instead of worrying/obsessing about what people do wrong, I can discuss what I understand of safety protocols with people who understand the threat there is and try to frame the discussion calmly and persuasively for those who do not see it yet. If persuasion doesn't work, I can either rework my message or accept that I tried and the person is responsible for their own actions.

Will I be safe working as a delivery driver? Also just want to vent... I recently moved to the city I am currently living in and have been hired to work as a delivery driver for amazon. My background check still needs to go through so I won't be starting until approx. 2 weeks. I am concerned for my safety while working there. I'm concerned about picking up packages that may have been exposed to someone sick or that the vehicle itself will have been exposed. Is there anything I can do to protect myself? I'm also scared of exposing others to it I have been feeling kind of sick for a week now I have not been tested for covid19 but my (so far) mild symptoms match up a lot. I may have contracted it from my parents who went to a casino earlier this month before lockdowns they got sick too but have since gotten over their sickness. I hate this situation so much I feel sick but I have not been getting a good amount of sleep and I know that's not helping me get better. I can never relax enough to actually fall asleep I hate it so much. I just feel so anxious and scared that my sickness will just get worse and worse. I'm so scared of the future and I don't know how to deal with this fear at all.

My husband bought body bags I thought I was experiencing depression and anxiety over this, but I think my husband might be even worse off. He ordered two body bags which were delivered yesterday. We have three adults in our home. As I sat in shocked silence he informed me that he only got two because "who is going to put the third person in?" I just don't even know how to process this.

How to prepare yourself for what might come after the crisis is over? I know that the world will have to change after this mess is over and I really hope that it will change for good but I still have lots of fears about what if it won't. Crash of economy will be hard, food shortages etc... On a personal level, debt and studies worries me a lot. It seems like there's nothing I can do and perhaps that's what makes me so afraid. So is there anything that I could do to prepare for anything bad that will happen after this crisis? Alongside saving money.

Brother wanted to come stay at my house, likely just had covid My brother texted me last night that he might have to come here if this doesn't go away soon. His husband is an active alcoholic. They live in an apt. My brother was extremely sick this last week and most definitely was covid based on symptoms. He works in NYC. I live states away. I told him I didn't like the idea of him coming here and putting me at risk. Of course he was hoping that I would say sure as if I would subject myself to covid for him. I'm so furious that he would even ask. Who does that to their family? I have my own health issues that I am dealing with and now I have to worry about him coming here? And I'm not entirely sure he will not come. I mean, it's like he doesn't even care about the risk of me getting it. What kind of person doesn't care at all that they might put their family at risk to get it?

Should my wife and I go be with my family in California? In NYC currently My parents are getting increasingly worried about my wife and I living in New York, and are asking us to come join them in their home north of San Francisco. We’re currently as safe as we can be—have been at home for about 4 weeks. I lost my job, and am finishing grad school from home, and my wife is working from home, so we don’t have to leave the apartment except when necessary. Right now, we feel anxious but relatively insulated—however, I can’t help but imagine the worst case scenario in which one of us gets sick, and the hospitals here are so overrun that we won’t be able to get health care. We’re young and healthy but I’m worried about one of us getting very sick. Is it the smart play to take my parents’ advice? The virus of course is in California, but things are not looking nearly as dire there as they are here. It feels like a difficult choice to uproot everything indefinitely—and my mother-in-law is in the NYC as well, so I know my wife is reticent to leave her. But every now and then I have a thought that we’re being foolish for not just getting out of here, when we have the option.

Partner in distress - how could I help him? Hi all, I’m looking for some advice here. I have the impression that the lockdown and the unfolding global pandemic situation has been quite hard on my partner’s (31/M) mental health. We have been self-quarantined for almost two weeks now, and ever since it started, he became extremely distant emotionally, he hardly ever engages in any activity, does not really fulfill his work-related duties and his behavior changed quite substantially. His sleeping patterns are a mess, he is awake until 5 am-ish, sleeps until midday or even longer, he is extremely irritated and when he is awake he plays some online games non-stop. This is a very big change, as he used to be a much more active and motivated person. We normally have a very loving and balanced relationship, but he stopped sharing his thoughts and worries with me, and therefore I have no idea how could I help him to feel better. My problem is obviously not that he is acting “lazy”, but I’m very worried that he is sliding into a depressive period. We are in Europe, our country is not really affected so far, but his only living relative, his elderly mother lives alone in New York and I believe he worries a lot about her. A few days ago I caught some words from their Skype call, and I heard that they discussed her will and potential funeral arrangements. I believe he must be in a horrible pain emotionally and I want to be there for him, but it’s very hard as he really gives me no clue how. Please help me - how could I be more supportive?

Is anyone else rethinking their career paths? I'm still in college, I've always wanted to pursue medicine and eventually become a nurse or a doctor. Saving lives and comforting people was something I romanticized a lot but this pandemic made me realize that I just dont have I'm just not cut out for it. I can't helplessly watch people die alone like this my psyche is too fragile for this shit show there is no way I would not have a life long PTSD after all of this. Call me a coward but if I'm already having anxiety attacks over this when I'm in safety of my home then imagine me trying to "save" an old lady gasping for air and begging me to do something to make it stop, just the thought of it makes me sick to the stomach. I salute all the doctors and nurses and retail workers and all the other REAL essential workers that I forgot to mention who are out there putting others' lives ahead of their own. You guys have the real courage that I could only dream of having.

Do i have it? 7 days ago i suddenly vomited and had diarrhea i felt weak and took some antibiotics so that if i had any stomach infection it would be resolved . I haven't vomited or had diarrhea since but a some rumbling sounds from my stomach and mild headache i read online that covid19 has some early symptoms that included this. Does this progress to severe breathing issues?? Other than this i don't have any cough ,fever or shortness of breath , however i sometimes feel a little throat congestion. Any guidance is appreciated

People who are diagnosed with coronavirus, what were your day to day symptoms? I am asking this because I traveled to another state a week back and now I have mild dry cough with no fever. The coughing started a couple of days back, it was like irritation, I just wanted to clear my throat but today it was a bit more. I am 23 yr old male with no medical condition.I am not facing any malaise either. What else should I be looking for? Thanks for reading.

I'm having a hard time with this virus On the one hand, I'm genuinely worried for my family and think it's terrible how many people have died from this. On the other hand, every time I see the numbers I find myself getting curious just how bad it can get. That dichotomy between being worried about the pandemic and the curiosity I feel towards just how bad it can get is messing with my head. I always feel awful for wondering how bad it will be, but I always do it.

My Boyfriend doesn’t take this as serious as I’d like him to. I work from home and our young child stays with me while I work and my boyfriend who lives with me works outside of the home. I have this set up on our porch to take off shoes and leave any groceries out to be sprayed down, hand sanitizer, etc before entering the house. (To some I may be over reacting, but this helps with my anxiety) I have asked my boyfriend to use hand sanitizer often as he’s the one picking up the food for us and also working around people. I told him I can send him with bleach or Lysol wipes and I have some face mask as well. Many if not all of his co-workers wear gloves and mask all day long and his response was.. “I probably wouldn’t wear that stuff, I use the sanitizer at least twice a day though.” I truly didn’t know how to respond to his response. I feel like he’s being selfish and doesn’t even care about us at all. Fast forward a few hours and I finally decided to have that dreadful conversation with him once again and asked him to please be more cautious and mindful. Use hand sanitizer more often and wear a mask if needed. At this point he starts to get upset with me and says he wishes he would just get the virus just so it would over with already. So my question is, would I be a jerk if I were to ask him to leave during all of this (for the safety of me and our child)? He has a friend he can stay with that has an extra room. BF (48)

Earth keeps moving forward, even if it feels like our world is paused. Today I realized something small and simple, but also something that I keep coming back to that makes me feel better: I was looking outside as it was raining today and I noticed how green the grass is starting to get. I noticed baby buds starting to pop up on plants. I recognized the weather is consistently starting to get warmer as the days go by. Spring is coming (I know it’s technically already here, but...). Even though it feels like the world is at a stand still and tomorrow feels like a big unknown, the seasons and the earth keep moving forward, right on schedule.

Hi. Im 14 and struggling with the impact of COVID-19. Hello, like the title reads, I haven't been doing so well with this pandemic.Im 14, and I have been quarantined for around 12 days now. My city is now in a shelter in place ( stay home work safe order ) and my school has shut down and we don't know when it will open again. I've been having really bad insomnia, and paranoia about the whole situation. I'm paranoid about getting the virus because i have many health issues, including asthma so if I do get the virus, I will more than likely get it worse than the average person would. I feel very isolated from those around me, everyone else I know seems to be doing fine and I feel like an alien because of how I'm reacting to it, but reading this subreddit has helped me realize i am not alone with how i am feeling. I don't want to keep feeling this crappy, so do any of you guys have any coping mechanisms to share that might help with insomnia and anxiety?

$200 DIY 'good enough for now' ventilators to solve acute but temporary shortage **Imagine** if it was possible to BUILD a ventilator using less than $200 in parts available at home or at hardware stores, and imagine if we were able to teach almost anyone to do this with stuff readily available within a 15 minute drive. We wouldn't have to worry about shortages due to the exploding coronavirus situation, would we ? Don't have to imagine too much. Its pretty much available right now: : [https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2020/03/27/vu-engineers-and-vumc-doctors-team-up-for-open-source-ventilator-design/](https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2020/03/27/vu-engineers-and-vumc-doctors-team-up-for-open-source-ventilator-design/) [https://www.vice.com/en\_us/article/5dm4mb/people-are-trying-to-make-diy-ventilators-to-meet-coronavirus-demand](https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dm4mb/people-are-trying-to-make-diy-ventilators-to-meet-coronavirus-demand) This is the best one so far:\*\*Low-Cost Open-Source Ventilator-ish Device or PAPR [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n57u1NvXBgw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n57u1NvXBgw))[https://github.com/jcl5m1/ventilator](https://github.com/jcl5m1/ventilator)\- DC power supply- Breathing tube.- And a blower, which, the guy in the video says it's just a standard brushless dc motor. **Very rudimentary, but probably the cheapest one I was able to find.** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifbVQre-Nsg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifbVQre-Nsg) &#x200B; They can be easily modified with pressure regulators and ICs which work better for patients with fluid in the lungs. Those portable devices, are not expensive and are available at hardware shops, hobby shops, etc. \---------------------- **Imagine if someone made a video or released information on how such a portable device could be built by anyone ?** Then imagine if everybody who is now sitting at home collecting free money, just went out and made one with parts available from ordinary electronics and hardware shops (well maybe slightly better hardware shops), and normal DIY tools and equipment? And they sent all of it to central points where qualified mechanics or engineer friends would test them and tweak them for the next 12-24 hours. And when they pass muster, these are sent to the hospitals that need them for them to use for the next 3 months until proper $20k (now $40k) ventilators are shipped in. No need to buy a bmw when you can make a bicycle to do the job that is needed in the short term right now. Any other issues can be solved by the same DIY inventor's mindset that created this device. This is not perfect, but it saves lives until the best solutions arrive. Remember, its better to have an imperfect ventilator compared to no ventilator at all. It will also stop the industry from ripping hospitals off by jacking up the prices of ventilators etc at this emergency time. This is, of course, the ONLY reason why industry has not stepped up to fix things even though they've had so much warning that it would be needed. Btw, the **same basic idea - diy methods that are advertised for everyone** to use from home - can be used to create basic personal protective equipment for hospitals, including certain types of masks. As long as it is cheap, people will gladly donate their personal time and money for this purpose. **Someone will take it and run with it. Spread the word, people.** moonbeam .p.s. My profuse thanks to [r/cavejohnsonstudent](https://www.reddit.com/r/cavejohnsonstudent/) and [r/rondoallaturca](https://www.reddit.com/r/rondoallaturca/) for helping me put this together.

I don't want to work. I work in a hardware store. We are deemed an essential business. I can understand the argument that tools and appliances are vital, I'm not arguing that. However, I work in the cabinets department. I sell cabinets and counter tops, that is it. I wish I didn't have to go in, but the store's policy is to keep all employees working. I know I should grateful that I still have a job and income, but I just wish I could stay home and safe until this all blows over. I've even considered quitting and moving in with my mom on her farmhouse, just to be as isolated as possible. I just don't know what to do.

My outfits have been getting progressively worse until.. I get dressed every morning because it helps to keep me from staying in bed all day, however, I’ve been having a harder and harder time giving a crap about my outfits. Who’s going to see me? Other than my husband who insists he loves me no matter what. Today was the worst day yet. I pulled out my grey, glittery sweatpants, a “born to be a unicorn” shirt, and a bright pink cardigan with glittering buttons. They don’t match, at all, and I don’t care. Or at least, I didn’t, until I walked outside to get a package, forgetting what I was wearing, and my neighbors greeted me from their front porch. Whoops, hope they don’t judge too much! Anyone else having issues caring about what they wear?

Feeling hopeless My chronic depression and anxiety have morphed into an oppressive sense of dread, loss of faith in humanity, and repeating thoughts of imminent doom. I am unable to see anything but death, destruction, and dystopia coming out of this. I am not on social media and do not go overboard with COVID-19 news, but I do stay on top of the updates. Simply reading about and seeing people go about their lives like nothing is happening or that their precautions don't matter is incredibly overwhelming. I am a deep empath and I feel like I'm physically drowning. I am doing the best I can staying on my medications, being outside as much as possible, soaking up time with my kids, and relaxing as much as possible, but these horrible thoughts still find their way in and suffocate me. I feel like nothing matters. Everything you work toward as a contributing member of society is futile. Nature will always overtake and my efforts don't matter. Like I could die and just be swept under the rug with the others. I need all of this to go away. (cross posted)

Potential workplace infection So I don’t know where to go about a situation I’m having. Last week the county I work in stated we would be entering a shelter in place order for 14 days. That only essential businesses would be open. My business is one of them thankfully (so I don’t lose my job). However it is kinda a questionable essential business, I don’t want to give to much info out. I felt sick towards the end of the week, and as a precaution I went home, one of my upper management people felt the same but continued to work. I came into work today and the upper management guy, the maintenance lead are self quarantining, and they sent home other 2 people. Now before I left to go home, I found out two guys worked there were in contact with a person who had the virus on Friday. One of them came into work to ask if he should be allowed to work or not. I feel like the fact that we could have potentially 6 cases of the virus at a company that is usually in rather close quarters, should be considering a 14 shutdown just to be sure... I really and nervous and don’t know what to do.

Staying active and productive during COVID-19 lockdown For all of you under lockdown (like me and my family), I know it’s a struggle to adjust to the new reality. Beyond the natural concern about the virus and the bad news from all around, there is another challenge that for many is closer to home (no pun intended). Many might go into a state of stagnation and neglect, with overeating and unending time on screens. If you are worried about this, please read my post on how to turn being stranded at home into more effective and healthier time. [https://wrpoints.com/how-to-survive-covid-19-lockdown-and-stay-fit-thin-and-productive/](https://wrpoints.com/how-to-survive-covid-19-lockdown-and-stay-fit-thin-and-productive/) Thanks!

Is it possible to reuse/ sterilize masks? I work in close quarters with many others and we currently have pretty limited resources for masks until next week. Is it possible to safely reuse them? I would greatly appreciate any reply or links. Thanks

Does anyone sometimes feel like no matter how many measures you take, it won't be enough? I'm working from home and am staying in my apartment as much as possible. My boyfriend who I live with, however, is still working (he's an essential worker), and I get worried that that exposure is really bad for me. That being said, I wash my hands constantly, wipe everything down with clorox wipes (including the groceries I buy from the store), keep my distance from people, etc. Still, no matter how much I do, I can't help but think is that all it takes is for me to touch a handle or something at the grocery store and have the virus. I know the only way to prevent this would be to literally live in a sanitized bubble, and I also know that I don't take nearly as much as this precaution on an average day and am not constantly infected with the cold or flu, but with how overwhelming this virus is I can't help but feel like I'm bound to get it no matter what just by virtue of existing. I also know that so many people are still out working and have way more risk than me and I'm super lucky to be able to work from home, I just have this major anxiety over all of this. Anyone else feel me on this?

Out of hand sanitizer? This video is very helpful! With the lack in hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE, I am hoping that this video will be helpful! We have all heard the 20 second rule of washing your hands, usually by singing a song, but I like this guy’s technique so much better! To summarize: You make it 30 seconds: (w/ soap & water of course) 5 seconds rubbing them palm to palm 👏🏻 5 seconds rubbing the top of one hand 🤚🏻 5 seconds rubbing the top of the other hand 🤚🏻 5 seconds scrubbing your nails against one hand ✊🏻 5 seconds scrubbing your nails from the other hand in the same manner ✊🏻 5 seconds rubbing your hands together with fingers interlinked (sorry, no emoji for that one) Lastly, 5 seconds rinsing! The video explains it very well, although I do disagree with him on 2 things. 1.) For me personally, I would not be touching the knobs to turn the faucet on and off (but it just depends on how conservative with water you are). 2.) I disagree that bar soap is just as good or better than liquid soap. I do agree that antibacterial soap is useless, but liquid soap in general (it seems) would be cleaner than a bar of soap. That’s just my opinion though! [Hand Washing Video!](https://youtu.be/tIwdf3WKe3Y)

Productivity and Wellness Hack + Enriching Content to Relax With I'm trying to start a business right now, and not being in school or at my day job has warped my sense of time and triggered my clinical OCD. I made a quick video showing how I'm using rubrics to deal with it, along with an infographic showing my favorite movie, book, album, and exercise for this week. [happtivity.co/rubric-hack-productivity](https://happtivity.co/rubric-hack-productivity) [https://happtivity.wordpress.com/bored-quarantine-quality-things/](https://happtivity.wordpress.com/bored-quarantine-quality-things/) Let me know if you want any other recommendations! Was thinking a book club would be a good way to A) maintain positive socialization and B) learn something while some of us are trapped inside!

I have to get to work after my work from home duration end and it's really scare me Hi, first time posting here. I work in news industry and I have to get back to work after my work from home duration end (our team agree that we divide in to two teams, one team work at the station and another work from home for 14 days and we swap when it's finally 2 weeks). While my country doesn't have a lot of infected but the number keep increasing and the thing that worry me the most is that I have to use transit because I can't drive and my work place is far beyond working. It's really scare me that I don't know whether I will get infected or not and living with 60s parent is really worrying me if I some how got infected. &#x200B; ps. Sorry if I made any grammar mistake, English is not my main language.

I recently got diagnosed with Bronchitis and I'm really starting to worry. I'll try to make this short, about a month ago I had a serious chest infection, a week ago, I woke up unable to breathe in a full breath because it felt as if someone was stabbing me in my left lung. I was breathing like a hamster, My partner was concerned and rang my doctor. The doctor wanted to see me right away just incase it was mild pneumonia. An hour later I was seen by my doctor. He did some checks on me to make sure it wasn't COVID-19 and came back all clear. But I did get diagnosed with Bronchitis. The doctor said that he was unable to give me antibiotics and to take ibuprofen to help with the inflammation. That's fine, I'm glad that it isn't COVID-19. So I'm sat at home, still unable to breathe, I can't walk fast, go upstairs, play with my son, cough, yawn or laugh without being in absolute agony. I'm trying to deal with my pain and not make people fuss over me, but I am getting increasingly concerned about contracting the coronavirus, because unfortunately it can kill people with underlying health issues. And when I think about this, I get seriously terrified. I wear gloves when dealing with the outside world, essential shopping and going in the garden. I wash my hands constantly and haven't spoken to anyone outside of my house for a month. If I am outside, I'll make sure to cross the road if someone is on the same side as me and keep my distance. I watched the news today and 2 doctors have died suddenly from the coronavirus and It's making me a nervous wreck. I can't breathe as it is and if I do get the coronavirus, my chances of survival are even more slim than they were 3 months ago. Does anyone know how to help me, help my Bronchitis or does anyone know any advice about what I can do? The coronavirus has spread fast through my county and even young people have unfortunately died. I'm scared that if I do get it, that I won't make it. Sorry for the long post, I'm just really worried.

Roommate not practicing social distancing Welp, our roommate told my wifey and I we are being hypochondriacs and overreacting to this whole situation. He is choosing to go in-between his boyfriend's house and our house as he wishes, despite our city and his boyfriend's county having stay home orders. His boyfriend and his boyfriend’s roommate don’t want him at their house all week. Our lease runs 'til June and his name is on it with our names. Our landlord said we can’t do much, and our once serene and nice home life has been completely upended. We have looked into potentially subleasing and moving into a new place, but it would be a giant pain in the ass. I selfishly hope Florida or our counties tighten the order, but I doubt it. I see on Tampa’s guide that reporting can lead to a misdemeanor charge, jail time or a fine, but I’m not sure how seriously they’ll take us. It sucks!

Questions about symptoms I would like to hear some experiences with symptoms or thinking that you have symptoms. Last night I could barely breathe. When I tried to breathe deeply I experienced a sharp pain. The pain I felt seems like its on my chest wall, like a muscle. I am petrified of pneumonia so I ask is it possible to have it without a fever, cough, loss of smell/taste, no congestion, just chest pain Other than last night I've been feeling completely fine. I know some people could have covid without any symptoms, but do they develop symptoms at some point ?

Stress of everything + FTE With mounting stress for my loved ones, taking care of kids who're now home full-time, and suffering from burn-out at work taking it's toll I'm feeling barely able to function some days. Then yesterday I began showing symptoms but because they're not dire and my state is hardly testing unless I'm in the hospital, which thankfully I don't need at this time. My employer has good benefits and will grant an extra 14 days sick time to my already generous allotment with a positive covid-19 test for me or my family (but again, good luck getting one). I guess my question is around with professional burn-out and this pandemic, does anyone know if I would qualify for some kind of FMLA or how I'd go about getting it?

Coping with COVID-19: Resources and survey Hi all, We are a research team from Coventry University (UK), the University of Oxford (UK), and the University of Amsterdam (NL), and we are linking to helpful resources on coping with COVID-19, in particular with regards to mental health and the detection of fake news online. Most of them are UK-focused but can be used by anyone: * [Free Guide](https://www.psychologytools.com/articles/free-guide-to-living-with-worry-and-anxiety-amidst-global-uncertainty/) To Living With Worry And Anxiety Amidst Global Uncertainty (available in many languages!) from Psychology Tools. * [Mind UK](https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/coronavirus-and-your-wellbeing/), a UK mental health charity, with a specific webpage for dealing with stress surrounding COVID-19. * [NHS UK](https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/coronavirus-covid-19-staying-at-home-tips/), the UK National Health Service, with a specific website about caring about your mental health whilst staying at home. * [The Guardian article](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/16/coronavirus-health-anxiety), about how to take control over your health anxiety. * [British Psychological Society article](https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/coping-life-isolation-and-confinement-during-covid-19-pandemic) on coping with life in isolation and confinement during the Covid-19 pandemic. * [Harvard Business Review article](https://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief) on making sense of all the different feelings you might be experiencing. * [Popular science article](https://theconversation.com/how-to-spot-coronavirus-fake-news-an-expert-guide-133843) on spotting fake news about COVID-19. * [Full Fact](https://fullfact.org/health/coronavirus/), a UK fact checking charity, with a specific part of their site dedicated to coronavirus. Besides this, we are running a **survey** to examine exactly how people are coping. It is not a short survey (it takes about 20 minutes to fill out), but we are hoping to run this research and relay our findings back to the public as soon as possible afterwards! If you are interested, you can find our research here: [https://tinyurl.com/copingwithcovid19](https://tinyurl.com/copingwithcovid19) Thanks very much!

Not a frontline worker. Still very overwhelmed. I work in an industry that is one of the hardest hit by Covid19. Since February our company has cut our budget drastically to cope with the losses. We started with cost-saving measures like reducing energy usage and reducing the hours of part-timers. Today I was directed to reduce/terminate contracts with our agencies and freelancers. These are people I worked with for years and consider friends. The collective stress since February came to a head and after I contacted them, I had to go to the restroom to collect myself. I am overwhelmed because I know their livelihoods are affected and I hate that I have to do this; overwhelmed too because now that we are cutting contracts, I don’t know when it will be internal staff next. Every time I see a colleague led into a meeting room, my heart jumps. As a salaried white collar who still have my job, who’s not on the frontline, I really feel I don’t have a place to feel this way. A lot of my friends are in the gig economy and are even more affected, so if I were to ask for support it feels so grossly privileged and tone-deaf.

I know this is a really weird topic but please bare with me: This is a really bad time to be a “sex addict” I use affection, sex, flirting, dating, etc. to ease the pain of depression and anxiety. It helps me feel better about myself and makes me feel wanted and loved. Although I know that to be a fallacy I still seek out a person to make me feel better about me. Well, now I can’t because I’m not going to risk my or anyone else’s safety due to the coronavirus. I really want someone to hold me. I feel so alone in all of this and I was already feeling so alone in general. I’m sad.

Calling in sick for the first time today Hey there everyone. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I had a night terror for the second night in a row and I think it's from all the stress from this pandemic. My family, who I haven't seen in months because I moved out around 6 months ago, recently had a wedding in Vegas and I wasn't able to go because of COVID and my job restricting travel. They didn't get sick from the travel but they are still in high risk groups and my sister is an essential worker dealing with the public a lot. Anyway, I had an argument with my bf last night as soon as I experienced this night terror and I just couldn't sleep afterwards. I feel awful.

A Challenging Situation of Coronavirus for International Students - Impact and solutions **Remember: Crisis is temporary but dreams are forever.** After the shock of the sudden spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, you may be worried that you will not be able to study abroad at least this year which can put a pause to your career. Although the situation is a bit worse right now, we want to encourage you to keep your dreams or plans continued, as we know the situations are temporary and everything will be back to normal soon. You will just have to re-plan your decisions for the next few months. So, here are the ways you can adjust to this crisis, while also not giving up on your dream of studying abroad: **1. Continue your application process if it started.** If you have decided to study abroad this year, that means you must have already started your application process. And suddenly the virus has emerged as a hurdle in between. But still, you should keep going with the application process as the academic year start of 2020 might not be lost just yet. Usually, the classes in most of the universities would start around in the months of September-October. While it’s difficult to estimate as to when we will be out of this crisis for sure, as the virus is spreading at a high speed, some estimations mention the period between May and July. And then you can start your classes abroad. In fact, some universities are still accepting online applications from international students at this time. If this situation continues further than July, universities will adapt to these changing conditions. Just like students, Universities are also affected by the situation and they will adjust the application and enrolment deadlines which suits the changes in the academic year schedule. So, try to continue going through the steps of the application process. Contacting universities for more information will be best for more clarity. If applications are postponed by the university, then it is the best tie for you to do research about visa information and work permit information, if you plan to work while studying abroad. Some universities have already extended the application dates in August. **2. Postpone your studies for the beginning of 2021** If you have not started the application process and want to wait till the problem is solved, there are no issues, you can postpone your international studies for 2021. Or maybe you want to change your initial study destination because it is among those countries which are affected most by the virus. Just because you are not starting your classes this year doesn’t mean you can’t start researching your future study options and decide by January 2021, when the new applications start. Here is how we can help until you start applying: * Figure out what you want to study and in which country you want to pursue. * You can check the list of courses and select the course you want to pursue * Check out the programs, universities cost, etc everything you want to know about study abroad. * Read about your study options based on careers after graduation * Read about the exams you will be in need to clear to study abroad like English proficiency exam IELTS or TOEFL and entrance exams like SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT. Prepare for your test and score a good result.TOEFL already launched a way for students to take their language test from home. * After the quarantine ends, you can gather some professional experience by volunteering, getting a short-term job, or starting an internship. Universities prefer the students who have some work experience for a Master's degree such as an MBA. Click here to know more: MBA universities abroad Make good use of your time staying at home by doing your research thoroughly, comparing your options and figuring out where you’re going to apply next year. **3. Study an online degree** Many prospective international students are considering changing their study plans altogether, and they’re looking at online study options offered by prestigious universities all over the world. Online studies don’t mean low-quality education. Many universities have started offering more online Bachelors and online Masters as a result of the outbreak. This option will likely not delay your study plans too much, as many online degrees have rolling admissions, meaning you can apply anytime. You will still have to meet the admission requirements necessary to apply. Classes can start at any time or once every few months. Just make sure you have the right system requirements on your PC or laptop. The only downside is that your online degree might take more years to complete compared to on-campus options, depending on the course intensity. **4. Keep learning with online short courses** No matter which one of the previous options you’re going to choose in the future, you should also not give up on your personal development right now. There is an abundance of online short courses to keep you learning and help you manage your time staying at home. Many of these short distance learning courses are also offered free of charge, and a lot of institutions provide support for people around the world. Setting aside some time every day for an online course can help you better schedule your day and keep your motivation and mental health up. Whichever path you choose to follow, don’t give up on your education dreams and never stop learning.

Hoping all my carefulness hasn't been ruined I've been self isolating with my mother and grandmother that I help take care of, since the beginning of this month in North Carolina. I've never gone out, groceries have been delivered and then subsequently wiped and washed. Food is well stocked and I'm not even all that concerned with self-isolation, I can block worries about that off and I have enough content to binge for at least three months haha. It doesn't stop the anxiety though. Having allergies, being slightly sleep deprived, and being a mild hypochondriac has caused some psychosomatic symptoms. But I can eventually rationalize those away and have been forming a healthy schedule for myself every day. My mother contributes to the anxiety by essentially talking constantly to me and on the phone about nothing but the virus and assorted negative outcomes. I can't complain too much as she follows self-isolation protocols pretty carefully....until yesterday. My uncle who doesnt seem to realize that we're in the middle of an epidemic stopped by. He stopped by here before he was getting ready to hold a church gathering (of about 5 people but even so). He does not care about this shit. My mother knows this and decides to let him in the house. Stand over my grandmother like it was nothing. I was in shock, but I should've done something. Worst part is I fist bumped him without thinking. Immediately after I did, I washed my hands for about five minutes. And my mother defended her decision by saying he's 'probably' about as healthy as I am and that I should've stopped her whenever I bring this up. I don't know if I'm more upset over the potential of exposure or angry over my grandmother and I being put in danger via idiocy. I don't know where my uncle had been previously or if his actual level of health. I'm hoping everything's fine but after going through all those precautions to stay safe and feeling good about it only to have it all potentially taken away. I hope my washing of my hands and surfaces touched will save us, but I'm worried about catching it airborne as well.

Fever, anxiety, loss of appetite, ideas? I have had a fever of 37.6°C (99.68F) for the last three days and I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety or what’s going on, the advice so far has been to just stay at home and deal with it essentially, I am not eligible to be tested but I don’t believe I have come in contact with it, but who knows! Has anyone else experienced similar?

My fight against depression during the time when our world needs us. So. What is depression. My vision of depression is a limitation on your mind. It emerges slowly but surely. It affects your mind by limiting your imagination to reality. Every single thing you've experienced in your life is part of that limitation. Everything you've ever felt is part of that limitation. What would it feel to remove that lock on your mind. Think so far ahead. Way beyond the limits of our imagination and mortal shell.Our sole being is brain. When you unlock the potential of it. it will change the way you see the world. So, How do we visualize this. Imagine it's a lamp with glass container. What does the container do? It keeps the toxins your mind is emitting from releasing. What if we could remove that container? What would our flame look like? Flame which could burn freely, passionately. That would be a sight to behold. Now that you've that image in your mind. Now think of the words glass container and the flame in your image. Glass container is your depression. Flame is your mind. If we remove the container. Our mind unlocks it's potential. I would visualize my feeling of curing depression like this. I felt one with the universe. Universe also felt one with me. It felt like an out of body experience. I saw myself as more than just a human. I saw myself as one being belonging to a higher entity. Looking back to my birth and as far as our extinction. Everything just made sense. As i've spoken about my experiences after feeling this out of body experience. Everyone just marks me as a crazy person. As if i'm having psychosis. But i'm not. My ideas i have after winning the battle against depression. Those ideas just feel too real. Like i know it's right. Other's think its fantasy, but now in my mind everything is a possibility. Everything we've ever done is a culmination to something. What is that something. How could you know. Humans can't visualize things beyond our bodies capabilities to realize our idea. What if you could be connected to everything. Mind to mind. absurd amounts of possibilities rise. If you'd like to peek into my mind. I've been writing my thoughts out past couple of days. You can check them here <3 [https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/fpo7wx/my\_vision\_about\_technological\_and\_evolutional/](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fconspiracy%2Fcomments%2Ffpo7wx%2Fmy_vision_about_technological_and_evolutional%2F&stzid=UgyDrnocnVdkNHYlUnR4AaABAg&redir_token=MbUuJV3H0ZL42q-FpCe6koOKcqx8MTU4NTY0NjAzOUAxNTg1NTU5NjM5&event=comments)

Food bank in Gaithersburg, MD needs help The St. Martin's Pantry in Gaithersburg, Maryland is running out of supplies. They posted a video on youtube asking for help. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XNDlHRUbNk&fbclid=IwAR13pPuWqvAa--GTwVp1ZxWZyPasFBlX5CX-KyyIhvrLiFWlCwng4O1Fijo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XNDlHRUbNk&fbclid=IwAR13pPuWqvAa--GTwVp1ZxWZyPasFBlX5CX-KyyIhvrLiFWlCwng4O1Fijo) &#x200B; If anyone can donate anything extra, please help them or support your local food bank or even just sharing the video could help them. I also want to say that my father volunteers there and I'm really scared for him. He's elderly and has already had pneumonia several times in the past. He won't stop working because he says that the low-income families that use the food bank need help now more than ever. I used to help out there when I was still living in the US and pretty much all of their volunteers are elderly. &#x200B; Hold on everyone. I know it's a scary time, but we're in this together.

In response to the removal of post with title "A significant number of COVID-19 infected do not show any symptoms therefore masks are likely to have a major impact on the spread of COVID-19 virus in the community and everyone should wear one even if they are homemade." Highly irresponsible behaviour of the part of r/COVID19_Support moderators to remove this post on the grounds that > "Your information does not link to a reliable source and therefore may not be accurate". The information is linked to not only valid, but is from a research study carried out by a premier research institution, the Society for Disaster Medicine and Public Health in Cambridge, UK and published by the Cambridge University Press, UK. The moderator has also stated that: > "If you want to make your own masks, and/or cover your mouth with a scarf or bandana when you are out, please do so but there is NO evidence that the medical masks that healthcare workers need provide significant protection to, healthy, uninfected people who observe the advised distancing measure of 6m from others when out. Using medical masks when there is a shortage puts frontline healthcare workers, and workers who are in regularly in close contact with multiple members of the public - such as supermarket checkout staff - at risk. > The advice that they are not essential for everyone from Who, CDC and all other reputable agencies is not misleading. > Please do not let your fears, and misinformation from others, put nurses, doctors and essential workers at risk. This is a time to work together, not to be selfish." The above statements indicate that: 1. The moderator who deleted the post has not read the post properly. 2. The moderator's action are based on 'old' information in a constantly evolving situation. 3. The moderator is under the false impression that the post contains misinformation that will put doctors, nurses and essential health care workers at risk. The above conclusions are based on the observation that the moderator hasn't understood what the title of the post states, namely that: "A significant number of COVID-19 infected do not show any symptoms therefore masks are likely to have a major impact on the spread of COVID-19 virus in the community and everyone should wear one even if they are homemade.". The title clearly states what new evidence is showing, which is that a significant proportion of people who are infected with the COVID-19 virus DO NOT SHOW any symptoms of the disease. This proportion has been found to be as high as 50% in two studies carried out, one in Iceland and the other in Italy. The advice to use masks in based on this new finding because the old advice stated that people without symptoms or those who haven't tested positive should not use masks. However, given that testing is only being done on patients who have symptoms, and that 50% of those infected don't show any symptoms, it is CRITICAL that everyone wears masks because those 50% who don't show any symptoms are also spreading the virus to everyone they come in contact with. They might be spreading it more than the confirmed infected case because they remain unaware of the fact that they are infected. Putting on masks will halt this spread. Hand hygiene and physical distancing are required but so is preventing the contamination of common surfaces through oro-nasal secretions. It is on the basis of above mentioned new development that the advice for everyone to wear masks has been given. It is to prevent spread from people who are infected but not symptomatic who might be as many as 50% of the total infected (equal in number to those with symptoms). Moreover, other studies have also clearly confirmed the benefit of using ANY mask over not wearing a mask for people who are uninfected and the advice in the post was for people to make HOMEMADE masks. In no way is this advice meant to encourage people to take away limited supplies of N95 and surgical masks that are most useful for the healthcare professionals. However, telling people NOT to wear any masks in view of the new findings is intentinally putting their lives and the lives of other community members at risk and this is not acceptable.

Question about Covid19 Ok so I went to see an optometrist , after coming back I changed my clothes washed my hands. But later I touched back my hair and then picked my nose. When I was there the exam room chair was high and my back of head was touching it, I think it was leather or synthetic leather, do I need to be worried or no? thanks for your help.

ISO a helping hand Hey y'all. Hope everyone is holding up okay. It's rough out here. I'll try and keep this short. I am a 31 yr old who struggled with addiction for a long time after being sexually abused for several years as a child. It was a mechanism I used as a young boy and it got me in more and more trouble as I got older and tried to "grow up". Fast forward to now, I am over 17 months sober and working hard to keep rolling. I have been fortunate to make it this far as many don't. I recently left Tucson, where I worked at a recovery center for a year, and moved to Phoenix to pursue a job on a food truck with someone I met at church. Owning my own truck has been a dream of mine for a while and I saw this as the first step. I was sleeping in my car at first to save money to get a place. I just got enough money to sign a a lease and the country shuts down due to this pandemic. I have been laid off since the 15th and applied for unemployment on the 16th and have not received anything from them. Who knows when they will get the federal relief checks will get to us. I am in a tough spot right now with my rent at an extended stay hotel and with food. Just trying to stick my hand out and see if anyone can help pick me up to keep my head above water. Thank you everyone for reading and I wish everyone the best. God bless you and yours.

Frontline Provider I can’t go back to work. We are reusing PPE. I can’t even explain the situation I am witnessing. Staff coughing and sneezing and not wearing masks. No fit tests for N95 masks. So I guessed my size. No training on how to get in or out of gear with reusing masks. Storage of used masks and face shields is right in a heavy traffic area. In brown bags open to air. Nobody wears masks into non-covid suspect rooms or I halls. I’m high risk due to health problems (lung disease) and I work as a provider in a hospital. The sense of dread I feel is beyond anything I have ever been through. Mind you before this I had basic issues. The other day I sat in my garage, before going to my 12 hr shift, with the car running. Garage door shut. I know what’s it’s like to not be able to breath. I can’t die alone on ventilator. I can’t help myself. I can’t help these people. The amount of shame I feel is insurmountable at this point. Shame for not wanting to work. Shame because I’m not a hero. Shame because I’d be letting my team down. Shame because of what I could’ve done.

I’m not dealing well The anxiety is taking over my life and I don’t know what to do it’s manifesting as physical symptoms so badly I can’t differentiate between the virus and anxiety symptoms. I cry constantly and am scared of people. I work at a gas station (new job) and a retirement community so I’m double essential. I just want to be able to stay home and be safe but that’s not an option for me. I don’t know where to turn or where to go from here. Someone please help me.

I’m scared When will this end? People I know are going to die. I live in Florida, and the case numbers just keep going up. I don’t even know what to say... Thai feels like a nightmare, or maybe a book. It feels like the apocalypse or the end of the world. I don’t know what to do.

Free, At-Home Covid Self-Test... Try It to Help Validate It? **Urgently-needed, free, at-home test for Covid-19** using readily-available materials is being validated. Will you donate a few minutes of your time to help? **We need people with Covid-19 to take this new test to validate it's accuracy. You can take the test in a few minutes at home, or wherever you are.** **Why**: Currently, most people who need a Covid test can't get one. Even when testing capacity increases, 2/3rds of the world's population will still make less than the cost of chemistry-based tests \*per month\*. Even the least expensive tests being developed will still be inaccessible to most people on earth. An at-home self-test has the potential to save millions of lives if it is validated, especially in high-need communities. **Status**: This new test is based on solid science, existing published reports, and it looks promising. Our team needs to validate it in enough patients to demonstrate that it's successful before it can be rolled out -- that's why we need your help. **Ask**: If you are Covid positive, or if you know someone who is, PLEASE message and we can provide further information. We just need a few hundred more people, out of the hundreds of thousands infected as of this writing. Ask #2: Look, um, can we ask you to respond with some encouragement? Trying to do something we hope has the potential to save many lives, which might just be... well, you get the point. Could we ask you to please respond to our volunteer effort... positively? Thanks, appreciate your support.

In need of some support/Some hope Hey all, hope you're staying safe. I live in California (LA) and as many people know we've been on lockdown for a bit now. I had to leave my college campus and come back home to an extremely unhealthy environment, and though I take social distancing seriously and am trying my best to stay patient, being in this house is literally killing me. Being in such a safe environment for school, surrounded by people I could trust to suddenly being thrust back into what I left behind is... Really hard. I feel my mental health and physical health slipping away To make matters worse, I keep googling how long this will last and it's REALLY not helping... lol. Does anyone know if there's a chance after this next month that we'll be able to visit close friends? I used to camp out at friends places to get away from this place, how long until I can do that again? 😣 Trying to not be self pitying right now is hard. I just need some reassurance i guess

Y'all, I just need some folks to tell me to calm down for a bit. Science and facts appreciated. My anxiety comes and goes in waves but today has been BAD. I'm 24, VERY mild asthma, and for some reason I'm so scared I'm gonna die recently. I know this is close to impossible, but my brain said "fuck you" today. Throat has felt a bit weird, obviously no clue if it's anything from allergies to a cold to anxiety to the dreaded Rona. Viruses and medical issues are a very big fear of mine, honestly my biggest. I'm so level headed almost always, but I'll cry when I have to go to hospitals, my heart palpitates, it's just not my bag. My fear of contracting this and dying (yes I've been quarantined for awhile now, yes, I know it's not particularly rational), but whatever. I just need the happy positive vibes you may have. I've tried giving them for awhile in this sub and now I'm just sorta breaking. I feel bad for my girlfriend who has been helping me for a week straight with severe anxiety. Been too glued to other subs and posts that have freaked me out. Please and thanks!

How could we have let this happen? Beyond the worry and fear, most of my thoughts go back to how on earth this has spiraled out of control. More than anything, I'm angry. At China for taking the virus seriously upon the initial discovery, and then more personally at my country, the supposedly greatest country in the world the U.S, at their reckless dismissal of the virus when it first broke in Washington state, the subsequent utter lack of preparedness, the lack of testing, "social distancing" well after it seems too late....why the fuck? I just can't get over how we let it get this bad. I'm wrecked with worry every day for the health of myself, my family, friends, and the whole country. Luckily I'm young and healthy, and able to work from home. My dad though, who is 64, is an "essential" worker. Other friends of mine still have to work. Some lost their jobs....this should not have happened. Who else is struggling with just sheer anger at this?

So... how much worry about all this is TOO much, and how much is healthy? As an individual with pretty severe OCD and generalized anxiety disorder, this pandemic has been making me go, well, crazy. It’s all I think about, all I read about, all I dream about. I spend most of my days in quarantine crying about it all. It’s getting ridiculous, and I’m sure many of you are experiencing similar levels of terror. Now, obviously this isn’t healthy. But... how much of it is irrational? Where is the line between pure, unnecessary panic and a normal amount of anxiety and awareness? I’m scared, you’re scared, your mom is scared and hers is too, but how scared should we all REALLY be?

Worried about stomach pains but scared of going to hospital Hey All, So for the past few days I've been having weird lower stomach pain and pain near belly button and im worried it may be something serious (like appendicitis) because its slowly getting worse. I know its common sense if you have something requiring medical attention to go to the doctor/hospital but with this covid-19 outbreak, I don't know if it makes sense going to the hospital until it gets absolutely unbearable but at the same time, I may be putting myself at risk not getting it checked out soon. I just dont know what to do at this point.

Any other smokers trying to quit because of this? I’ve been smoking cigarettes since I was 17, I’m 25 now. I’m also very overweight. I’m terrified of the virus. I’m trying to quit smoking but it’s soo hard because the virus stresses me out and then knowing smokers are higher risk stresses me out and it makes me want to smoke more. Is anyone else trying to quit? Is anyone else having this hard of a time with it?

"Home-College" is driving me nuts Hey guys, So since we're on a "lockdown" my college has been doing classes in video conference and in every single subject we're getting a huge shitload of homework of all kinds. I'm getting sick of it, I can't find motivation to do anything, I enjoy working but the amount of homework is far too much, the fact that I'm isolated at home and not interacting with people (except my parents) isn't really helping either. It's also worth to point out that I'm in an art college, honestly I kind of feel willing to work on autonomous art projects, hell I'm home and creativity ultimately flourishes but that plan also gets fucked up as I just end up getting prompted to the homework and free time is short as well. I honestly don't know how to be dealing with this

(Australia) Psychologists can offer online sessions - some are covered by gov mental health plan scheme Like many others, I lost my job recently & can't afford my usual expenses. I reached out to my psychologist and she's offered me free online sessions under a gov mental health scheme (My country offers "bulk billing" with Drs referral). It's on Friday and I can't wait. I'm racked with anxiety in isolation and I know she will be able to help guide me through some of it. I feel so lucky to live in this country and have access to this kind of support. So I'm spreading the word - if you live somewhere with access to mental health care, please seek it out. Someone unbiased & compassionate to talk to is an absolute gift in times of crisis. We're not alone! Stay safe.

Housemate ignoring house rules, worried for my and my families safety. I’m not sure if this is the right place, but I’m not sure where else would be a good place to vent about this. To get an idea of my concerns, I recently moved in with my mom, my brother, and his girlfriend. My mom got a place and we all moved in with her to help out and because my brother and his gf were living on friends couches due to recently moving back to Ohio. My mom has a huge heart, and was tired of seeing my brother struggle so that’s why she did all of this. Due to the rules and regulations of where we are living, anyone over 18 has to be on the lease, so we all are. My mom has mild health concerns, and my brother is diabetic, and his girlfriend has zero regard for anyone but herself. Since my mom got this place for herself and us, and she’s very concerned about the virus, she told us the rules, no one comes here, and no one goes out to friends houses. (We live in Ohio, where there is also a stay at home order in place.) His girlfriend refuses to respect that myself and my mom are concerned about it, and ignores her wishes. (I feel like my brother is but won’t admit it, and I feel like he acts like he doesn’t care about it because of her influence on him, but that’s another story.) You’d think with her having been with my brother for slightly over a year now, she’d show a little more concern and caution with my brother being diabetic. I’m a night owl and stay up all night, and my bedroom window is a double wide window with the driveway right in front of it. She sneaks out at night when my mom and brother are asleep to go hang out with her friends, and comes back before they wake up. She usually leaves my brother a text if he wakes up and sees that she’s gone, and she lets me know because I would hear her anyway, but I just bite my tongue and say okay because it’s not like I can tie her down and keep her here. Two days ago she was off work and complaining all day about being stuck in the house and kept asking my mom multiple times all day if she could go to her friends house, and my mom would say no, she’d gave up and say “yeah I know” or just “okay.” My mom went to work at 2:30am like she always does, and almost immediately after she left, the girlfriend texted me saying she was going out, and came back before my brother woke up for work 2 hours later. The next afternoon when the girlfriend was at work, I brought it up to my mom and brother and they had no idea she even snuck out. My brother was visibly irritated she left, but tried to justify it, but stopped when I told him she’s deliberately going against our moms wishes and disrespecting her by sneaking out the MOMENT my mom pulled out of the driveway. He didn’t say anything after that, but I know he texted her going off on her for it. He’s stubborn and will defend her in front of everyone else, but in private he knows it’s fucked up, because he’s shown me texts from last week to her saying if she can’t respect our mom then she can get out, even when he’s still defending her in front of us saying “Shes an adult and can do whatever she wants.” It pisses me off to no end to live with this girl, even before all of this started, but other circumstances left no choice. Now it’s infuriating and I wish there was a way to kick her out during this stay at home order at the very least. But her names on the lease and she pays my mom to go towards rent and food. Disrespecting the rest of the people who live here is one thing, but disrespecting my mom when she’s a worrywort to begin with even without the virus going around, especially when that girl only has a permanent place to live because of my moms generosity and love for her son. I guess I just needed to vent about this, but I’m open to anyone who has any suggestions on how to handle her behavior? I’m just worried about my mom and brother, they’re the only family I have that I talk to, aside from my father who lives out of state.

Fiance is an "essential worker" in grocery and I am terrified every day... I finally broke down in tears today because it all built up. My amazing fiance is a grocery worker and manages the nonperishable department (basically the busiest part of the store right now!) So he is definitely essential. I am a stay at home mom to our 14 month old son, so besides a few day trips here and there, my life is no different. Except I am beyond worried my fiance will get covid19 and that he will die. As I type this out I can tell myself the odds are so low (he is healthy and 26 years old) but I can't help but go to worst case scenario situations. I try and stay happy and positive for my son, and I am extremely happy when my fiance is home. But I still find whenever I'm alone my anxiety skyrockets and I have panic attacks. Bawling my eyes out and hardly being able to eat. I just started my family. We are the happiest little family you could ever meet and my life is literally my dream come true. We just started planning our wedding. The thought of it all being taken away is something I cannot cope with. Then I will see people going out, still in groups, not social distancing, saying it's a hoax, etc. It makes me want to scream!! I am prone to anxiety and depression anyways and already take medication for it... I wish he wasn't essential... just need some advice or help.

I feel so lost. I can handle not going back to college for the semester. It was only like another month at this point. But everyday things just seem to be getting worse and worse and there's no end in sight. Shutdowns went from 2 weeks to 2 months. If it's this bad, aren't we all doomed anyway? I feel like i am going to spend the rest of my life living this way. I'll never go back to college, see my friends again, see my relatives, get to travel or go to a fair or do any fun outside activities. I'll be living this way until i'm 80 or 90 years old at this rate. I feel like I watched my degree burn up in front of my eyes. I've lost everything that made me me and I just feel like an anxious depressed shell of a human. What's the point in doing schoolwork or doing anything if things are just going to continue to spiral?

Coronavirus and Hypertension Good day, I have been working from home for the last 2 weeks and trying to cope with this outbreak in the safest way that I can. I'm 38 years old, male, did some exercise daily (before this confinement) but I have been diagnosed with hypertension since like 4-5 years ago, I was overweight and lost like 50 pounds because of my hypertension but it never got controlled and my doctor said that it maybe is a genetic thing (Most members of my family suffers of hypertension) so I have been always on meds to control my blood pressure. Reading at news now I see that people with hypertension are more likely to get the virus because of the ACE2 (and even some people stopped taking their blood pressure meds because of it) and get the worst from it, I know that doctors have said that this hasn't been proved and recommends people to take their blood pressure meds. I have been looking for info about it but I don't know if getting the virus with hypertension is kind of a death sentence, normally the reports of deaths show that people that died had hypertension and other problems so this freaked me out, now I have been taking natural sedatives to keep myself together in the middle of all of this. Do you guys know about studies or news about people with hypertension surviving this virus? Thanks!

Creating a just-in-case plan for my dog - what makes the most sense? Hi everyone - I live alone in an apartment building with my dog. I'm very fortunate in that my job was able to switch to completely work-from-home a few weeks back. We don't have a balcony where I could put one of those sod-boxes, so we're still going on short potty walks (this is now the only reason I have to go outside my building). I have a plan for the scenario in which I get sick to the degree I have to go to the hospital, but my anxiety has me spiraling around what course of action would be best in the case I get sick, but am well enough I can stay at home. Here are my current thoughts, in no particular order: \- complete quarantine where I utilize the pottypads I got about a month ago as a just-in-case (this seems cruel to my dog, though would limit the spread most efficiently) &#x200B; \- reduce walks and utilize pottypads; wear dentist-style mask while out (seems too irresponsible, though I probably don't have to interact with anyone about half the time I go out) &#x200B; \- reduce walks and utilize pottypads; have a friend in the building walk my dog for me (this seems risky for the friend, and of my friends in my building there is only one couple not over 60 that I would be comfortable asking) &#x200B; \- go straight to the going-to-the-hospital plan where either my SO takes my dog, or I arrange a foster home through the rescue from which I adopted my pup. (this is the biggest ask time-wise for others, but might balance the safety of others with the well-being of my dog the best.) &#x200B; This is really the only thing I can make solid plan for about which I'm getting anxiety spirals - so it would be ideal to decide on one plan instead of going back and forth on all of them. &#x200B; What are people's thoughts on the above scenarios?

Uncertainty is Making Me Crack I am naturally an anxious person, so much so that I’ve been on meds since I was around 12 because coping didn’t work. I studied abroad in the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico for 10 weeks and came home 2 weeks ago because of the virus. However my problems started when I realized I didn’t wear a mask in the international terminal of the Atlanta airport and if you read any articles, you would know the lines were extremely long. So amongst that waiting I’m not sure if I got infected and I’m literally freaking out especially since my small town in NC does no drive thru testing at all. Right now i don’t know if i’m having symptoms or not. My family thinks i’m over exaggerating or making things up. I can’t drive so I rely on them to take me places which they refuse to do. Currently, I’m having severe acid reflux like i’ve never had before, and I think it may have led to chest pain when I drink or eat but it seems to respond to strong acid reflux medicine. My stomach is a bit queasy and i’m nauseous but my aunt who is taking me more serious and also has acid reflux says it’s likely due to the heavy meal I ate a few hours ago. My back and shoulders are somewhat stiff which I can’t seem to reason out. I have to keep cracking them my back. I had a bit of a cough a day or two ago, so far no fever. I don’t know if i’m stressing myself out or if I should be worried. Even if I sound like I’m being rational, I’m literally cracking at the foundation and I can barely eat and drink and I don’t know what to do. I’m so tense and I can’t sleep fully through the night. For the past two weeks, I’ve been struggling more than i’ve ever struggled. Due to my town being so rural, getting to a doctor for a regular visit is difficult at times. I’m asking more for reassurance at this point since my family isn’t help.

How should I buy my books? Hello, my college has started to give distance education till the end of semester, so no more school for me. I need to buy some books for studying but I am having a contradiction about how to buy my books. Plan A is that my mum can drive to the bookstore with me, I can enter and buy them in a minute and pay with contactless payment. I am sure the bookstore will be empty so the only person I will have an interaction would be cashier. Plan B is buying them online. With this way I won't have to leave the house but I will have an interaction with the delivery person. They usually encounter with 100-150 people during a day. I want to choose the healthier way for the society and me at the same time but I don't know which one is safer. Ps: sorry if it's not the correct sub. I assumed r/covid19 and r/coronavirus for sharing news and not for personal questions. And also sorry for my English, I am not a native speaker.

Show your support for Adults with Disabilities at home I just started working in a Day Service for adults with disabilities a few weeks ago - just when the situation got really concerning worldwide. Most of them fall in a risk group and, given they had essential supports at home, the service is now closed until considered safe to reopen by the organisation and authorities. All staff is trying their best to keep the clients safe, mentally healthy and supported at home. But soon after closing, many clients were showing signs of worrying, anxiety and were feeling quite low, especially the elderly. So, I would love to share with them your thoughts and advices on how to look after their wellbeing during this strange time, your positive personal stories or even of someone you're helping or just sending love and support! Thank you.

Never really had anxiety issues until now I can’t stop thinking about this. I’m 25 and relatively healthy other than being obese. My BMI is around 37. I was at the doctor last year for my normal check up where they did a blood test and the results came back in normal ranges. Blood pressure was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. I don’t really get sick often at all. I actually can’t remember the last time I was sick. People around me would get colds and stuff and i somehow wouldn’t. But I cannot stop thinking that if I get this virus, I’ll be severe or fatal because of my weight. I’m taking all the precautions recommended. No one in my family is leaving the house right now except to go grocery shopping and that’s only once every two weeks or so. She’s wearing gloves and a mask, bringing her hand sanitizer along, and washing her hands often. We all are. I just can’t shake these thoughts...

My job isnt taking this seriously If you've seen my posts and comments, you know my very nonessential job in an "essential" industry is still full steam ahead. Well, today I learned one of my coworkers, who mind you has been sick and has cancer, is allegedly in the hospital with pneumonia and coughing up blood. The word came from a manager I trust, but I went to my direct supervisor, who I also trust, to look into it. Until he gets test results, they won't do anything. Guys I'm terrified. We're in Bucks county, bordering Philly. We have people on two shifts coming in from the city and suburbs and NJ. We sanitize our workstations at the beginning of every shift and I never directly worked with that man. However, we are a completely open floorplan and he was probably 300' from where my desk is. I walk through his dept to get to the bathroom, and we all share the break room. We've gone to everyone we can. From the state to the media to the attorney general and the cops. We're helpless. I'm helpless. I can go out on leave, but I have to make sure my fiance and I are ready for this.

Could use an outside opinion - Should I self-quarantine? I hope this is the appropriate place for a question like this! I could really use a outside opinion! I’m a 26 y.o. pharmacy technician from Indiana. Last night I noticed that I had a tickle at the back of my throat, and sometimes it’d give me the urge to cough, but I never coughed involuntarily. During work today, I noticed some soreness in my chest, and my breathing is a bit labored, and I’d sometimes find myself breathless after talking with patients. I found myself dry coughing every once and awhile. My cough tonight has been a bit worse, it’s harder to resist the urge, but still doable. However, despite the above I have no fever. I check my temps three times a day, and it’s always in my regular 97.6 - 99.5 range. No sore throat, can still taste/smell, no runny nose, nothing else. The symptoms are mild enough for me to wonder if It’s all just me feeling “sympathetically ill”, as it were. Or perhaps I’m just exhausted. I've been working long hours, and haven’t had time off in awhile, with no end in sight... I guess my biggest fear is taking the time away from work to isolate, only to get *actually* sick when I get back, then be out of work again. I’m not sure I can afford to be out for that long... I should mention that one of my coworkers, another tech, is currently in quarantine waiting on their Covid-19 test results. Not to mention the constant influx of sick people fresh from the hospital I see in a day who couldn’t care less about social distancing... I'm going to try to get a hold of a doctor in the morning and run all of this by them before work, but any external thoughts or opinions would be appreciated! tl;dr - dry mild cough, a bit out of breath, no fever. Should I self-quarantine, or is it psychosomatic or plain exhaustion?

Any word on transmission through pet hair? If I get infected and pet my cat; does the next person to pet her get infected? I am curious if it can be carried on her fur. It’s funny I never thought about this when the regular flu comes around. Would it be useful to isolate her to my room away from the rest of the house? I have a weird headache, mild body aches and mostly night sweats for the past few days. It’s quite possible I have it. I have been overthinking about other (pre-covid) stuff and sometimes I work myself up.

No test results after 12+ days My wife and I were tested March 18 in Orange County, CA. We were told it was a three day test and and that we would hear if we were positive or negative. It is now March 30, and we do not have results. We have called the hospital where we were tested numerous times, as well as our own personal doctors. No one can help us. My wife still has symptoms, I do not. She is very sick. This is beyond pathetic. It is sad.

Hi guys, I have an urgent question. My 10-year-old brother returned from a bike ride on Friday and starting sneezing and having a runny nose. He didn't have a fever or any other symptoms, only a runny nose. He has continued to have a runny nose. He also had a nose bleed last night as he kept sneezing and blowing his nose on tissues. Do you guys think I should get him checked?

I don't know how else to say it...I'm scared that the literal concept of media production will cease to exist. I mean...maybe not everything. Certainly books can survive. And maybe even music, even if concerts can't exist anymore. But is it even possible to film movies and TV shows while complying with social distancing? And how exactly are any future movies going to make money if they can't be shown in theaters anymore?

Broken over daughter's canceled birthday party I dont think it really hit home today until I had to hit cancel on the event page for my caught up rs 3rd birthday. Shes been talking about her birthday for MONTHS and it breaks my heart that she doesnt get the big family party. I know that sounds stupid and like "first world problems" but we've never been able to really afford to do much for her birthday, and until this point it was always what we chose for her as a theme since she was really too young to understand. This is the first year where she knew what birthdays are, and she was so excited because she got to pick out a theme and where we'd have it. She was so, SO excited when we said we could have it at the arcade (she adores the place because of all the games and stuff our local one has for the kiddos), and she talks about it non stop! Her Birthday is April 7th, and she's still so excited for her birthday even though we cant have it at the arcade. She thinks she'll be able to see grandma and papa, and her cousin (5), and all the other family. We've tried to explain that we have to all stay away from each other for now because we dont want to get them sick. Her response? A very sad "Oh, I'm sorry". She is apologising because she thinks SHES THE GOSH-DANG REASON. This whole thing just breaks my heart for her in so many ways and I'm just a mess. I cant even describe fully how broken looking at her birthday invite picture is. Looking at it makes me bawl like a freaking baby. https://ibb.co/4PtXN4P

I want to go home, but I don’t want to endanger my parents. I live near a big city in my state that has been impacted by COVID-19 pretty intensely. I’m a college student who recently moved out of the dorms into my boyfriend’s parents’ house. They offered for me to live with them since I’ve been in contact with the family & we figured it’d be reasonably safe. I opted to do this because I didn’t want to risk bringing anything to my family. My dad is 84 years old, and my mom is immunocompromised, and I’d never forgive myself if I was responsible for infecting either of them. Having said that, I’m so deeply unhappy being away from them at this moment in time. I deal with depression, anxiety, and OCD among other things, and I’m having a very hard time being in a new(ish) place in such a time of uncertainty. I just want to be somewhere comfortable. I may be 22 but I feel like an absolute child right now. I cry multiple hours a day on a good day, and I just feel paralyzed. I still have to do online classes and I can barely concentrate. My mom’s said I can come back if I stay mostly to my room for a few weeks and wipe down surfaces after I use them outside of my room but I’m so scared. I just don’t want either of my parents to die, especially not because of me.

It feels like I have snapped. A contact was exposed. Fortunately, her test came back negative. But after nearly a week of waiting, the fear feels permanent. Afraid of everything. Last Tuesday my wife got sent home from work after her boss told her she had been exposed to a COVID19 patient and was waiting on test results. My wife told me and we were really concerned. She stayed in one room to isolate herself. That night my son had a stuffy nose for about ten minutes with sneezing. It went away, but I went into a state of panic, trembling and all. He got better but throughout the week I had a mild stuffy nose and a throat tickle. Not too bad, and I knew these were rare symptoms, but while waiting on my wife’s boss COVID19 test, it was really scary. On Saturday I order carry out and I’m afraid of my own food. Sunday, my wife runs in the room screaming happily that her boss’s test was negative. We hug and I expect things to go back to normal. I still have this feeling of dread but it’s definitely better. Surely I thought we are going back to social distancing normal. We will be bored, but at least we can know we’re healthy. Today might as well be last week. I had diarrhea in the afternoon which really scared me. My son has a stuffy nose which is scary. He was coughing for a little bit and sneezing for a bit. Every cough, every sneeze made me feel trapped. All I could do was fall to my knees and pray. I’m supposed to be better now, but I’m not. I’m afraid of everything.

I think I had a mild case of the vrius I'll start off by saying that I am 29 years old, work at a bank and am considered "essential" and have to report to work. Luckily our company switched to a drivethru only model a week or so ago. I've been extra cautious, wearing rubber gloves since then and even wiping down my station and computer with lysol wipes. At the end of last week I began to notice a feeling of being extra tired at work and at home. When Friday rolled around and I came home from work, I found myself passed out, face down in bed by 9 pm, early for me. Saturday I worked from 9-12pm and felt normal, but after work I couldn't shake this feeling that something was off. My partner made chili for dinner and I noticed I couldn't really smell it that well. Another night of passing out early while watching tv, but I woke up at 3 am Sunday freezing cold in a puddle of sweat and with this weird feeling of needing to breath deeply. I decided to take my temperature; 98.6. Odd for me, someone that always has a low body temperature around 97.5. Not wanting to disturb my partner, I decided to sleep on the sofa. Sunday morning, I slept in past my usual time of getting up to make coffee. When I finally woke up I had a tightness in my throat and that same weight in my chest. I tried to put it to the back of my mind and enjoy my day off. I cleaned out my car and my partner and I decided to just drive around town for the heck of it, as nothing was open anyway. On the way back home my partner stoped at a Burger King, and the smell of the food made me feel sick. I also can't fight the urge to fall asleep right in the car. As the day progressed I could no longer ignore the tightness in my throat. I decide to have a look in the mirror and I immediately noticed my tonsils are huge and swollen, as are the lymph nodes in my neck. I take my temperature, 98.9. Anxiety sets in. Google tells me that swollen lymph nodes are a sign of viral or bacterial infection. I lay low for the rest of the evening wondering how this is possibly happening. I take my temperature throughout the evening. 99.1, 99.2, and then around dinner time, 99.6. I go into complete panic mode, calling my parents and my boss to tell them I might have it. I call a hospital and after asking a few questions, they tell me that I don't meet the requirements to be tested. Great, now what? I decide to take some acetaminophen and lay down. I can't sleep that night, I kept having the worst thoughts and I was up all night. But the good news was that my temperature was dropping. Now, cut to today, Monday. I woke up this morning at my usual time; craving coffee. I hop out of bed and immediately take my temperature; 96.9! Also, upon checking my tonsils, they seem to have reduced in size. I made it through today feeling completely fine with none of the symptoms that I had just developed a few days before. I should also note that my partner has been working from home for two weeks and has shown no signs of anything and he's a smoker. So does this sound like Covid 19??? If so, I can only think that my tonsils that I never had removed might have saved me from a worse case. As I type this I still do feel a slight weight in my chest, but not like the days before. Any feedback is appreciated, I just want to put my situation out there.

Coworker is being tested for COVID - what to do while waiting for the results? Hi all, My dad's (super low contact) job decided to hire a new employee during this pandemic, and now that coworker is out because he exhibited COVID 19 symptoms. They met on Tuesday/Wednesday of last week, and while the rest of us have been able to stay at home (high schooler sibling, myself in college, working from home mother), my dad has continued to work because we truly is at such a low risk of coming into contact with other people. The coworker won't know his status until Thursday since he was tested today, Monday. What should my family do in the meantime? Should we isolate my dad? Continue as normal? I'm looking for advice or some links to resources that might be able to help because I've seen nothing that talks about this weird waiting period. Thanks!

Some people think that lockdowns could last for months or over a year. I really hope the lockdowns don’t need to last that long. I’ve seen posts on social media by people who claim that lockdowns could last 3 to 18 months or even longer. If a lockdown lasted more than 3 months, wouldn’t people have to find a more effective way to slow the spread of the virus? We definitely need to flatten the curve and I’m personally trying to social distance as much as I can. It’s really discouraging to see people be so certain that these lockdowns could last over a year. I want people to be safe. I want the world to recover. This pandemic has to end eventually. I really hope it ends soon. :-/

I don't have any special reason to worry but I am basically incapacitated. And ashamed about it. I'm a 45 yo guy, mildly overweight and a former smoker plus an alcoholic who quit 3.5 years ago but with a long history of taking very good care of myself (diet and exercise). Though I've had a tough couple years due to divorce/custody that have taken an extreme toll on me stress-wise. Blood pressure basically normal. Went for a run today, etc. And, ironically, the current social distancing has allowed me to catch up on a multi-year backlog of sleep, which is probably good for my health. The problem is that I have a long, old history of complex PTSD mostly involving avoidance. So when I can't meet responsibilities or give a good answer for why I'm failing to deliver on a work obligation, I freeze up and I just stop reading my email or turn off my phone. Under normal circumstances, I have pretty much had this under control for a few years now, but now its gone bananas. I havent read email in a few days and have my phone on airplane mode. Bear with me, I realize how totally bizarre this probably sounds to a normal person. I understand that my "odds" of surviving the pandemic are approximately 99.6. I understand that even the pretty smart calculator I used to do this didnt factor in many ofthe proactive things that I am doing. I understand that this will probably all be OK. But. The thing is. I am the sole custodian of a 6 yo boy. And he is the most precious, beautiful, forever wonderful thingt that ever came into my life. And he needs me so much. And I can do some CBT and walk through a worse case scenario where I get unlucky and die but he ends up OK. But I simply cannot bear the thought of the loss, for him mostly, and just slightly less for me. And so I simply freeze. I can't stand it. And I feel guilty posting this here where there are other very real people already dealing with horrific losses of loved ones. And I am truly so f-cking sorry for you that it makes my heart hurt. Please forgive me if I seem selfish in the light of your own real loss. That's my rant. Thank you for reading. Seriously, truly. Just thank you for listening.

Worried I may have Coronavirus Hello, I am in Sweden. This area has one of the highest rates of Coronavirus in the country, but it isn't drastically high. Over the past few weeks, I have been the only one going out to do the shopping. My girlfriend stays at home. This is so only one of us is potentially exposed. Over the past couple of days, I have developed an intense cough. No breathing issues, unless I overexert myself. If breathing issues do pop up, it isn't so much as rapid, shallow breathing, it is more like I have just walked intensely and am a bit out of breath.The coughing is something I have regularly pop up. Just seems to be more intense right now. There could be a little tightness in the chest, but nothing too crazy. I do not have a fever. It has been like this for about 6 days now. I haven't even come close to a fever. Take the temperature several times, and it is relatively stable at normal rates. The problem is: 1. I am staying with my girlfriend. I am currently 300-miles from where I normally live in Sweden. 2. I am British. I know that Swedish people are good at English, but I can't seem to shake the fear of going to a hospital completely alone, no family in the country, can't have my girlfriend by my side, with everybody speaking a language I do not speak around me. It is terrifying. Do my symptoms potentially indicate coronavirus? It doesn't seem to match up with the typical symptoms. Just the coughing. I haven't been out since it started. Note: I have lived in Sweden for 7-years. I am not just visiting. I am a resident.

I work in a supermarket and does anyone want some questions answered? So I work in a major supermarket in Australia, and I have seen some shit over the past few weeks, yet I remain pretty positive, even as a browser of the other doomer coronavirus subs. Here, we had been very complacent in regards to COVID until a week or so ago, when the government enacted policies which subsequently caused the staggered closure of businesses as well as advocating social distancing en masse, and beforehand supermarkets experienced unprecedented demand from people who were stocking up in the eventuality of a lockdown type measure. However, working in one of the only few areas that remain for people to congregate puts me in a precarious position, as that increases the risk of myself and others here to be exposed to COVID, and the company itself has lax measures and little regard for PPE asides from sanitisers and a soft limit on proximity for people. I'm most likely going to catch it within the next few months or already have it within me, I suspect the latter as I have some symptoms that I'd associate with a cold/flu but obviously cannot rule out allergies as I am prone to them. If anyone has any questions for me just to pass the time or if they would like to know if we are truly going to run of of food ask away!
