Is anyone else stressed out about the Coronavirus? I am younger (35) but I worry about my parents and other folks that can’t take care of themselves. I live in an area that has a lot of cases that have been in the news (Seattle) . I know there is not much I can do but it is impacting my day to day life and escalating my depression and anxiety. Let me know

I'm extremely stressed about this Coronavirus. I have OCD and I do this normally, but it's gotten intense since this virus is out there. It's real now, and I don't know what is rational and what is my OCD.

Oh god I was stressed about it back in January and stressed now. The media is freaking me the hell out..so you're def not alone. Keep washing your hands, hydrating and encouraging others to do the same!

Yes, I have family is Seattle area. Im in mid- Mo and so far so good here. It is worrisome. I think the best and only thing we can do is to be smart about it. Realize the news has to report it but they put their spin on it so we will b glued to every news item about it. Bottom line is none of us really know our future. While being obcessed about a virus, we could trip over a crack and Boom. I keep up with the news but also carry on with my life. I make myself listen to fun music, read interesting books, watch uplifting tv shows, etc. Hang in there💜

For sure. 10 cases of it were reported just 10 minutes from where I live. One person infected his whole family and someone else's family. I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!🤯🤯

Thanks for all the replies I really appreciate it let’s work together to keep us all calm during this hard time. Everyone will be in my thoughts, do the recommendations and stay away from large groups for the moment
