Covid stikes again

[Cimmy]

Hi all I wrote on here a few ago about my daughter and her children having Covid. Thank god they have recovered. BUT now my son and his family have test positive. I’m just at the end of my very fragile tether, I’m soo anxious now and feel like it’s creeping up on me, I’m so frightened of getting Covid and it’s like it’s stalking me, my anxiety won’t let me sleep or think rationally, why is this happening, please help me, I feel like I’m loosing the plot.

Have you been tested?.... I think that might help your fears of the unknown. And if you are positive....it doesn't mean you will get sick. It affects everyone differently. We have to take this a day at a time, do all the suggested measures of masking, sanitizing, limiting your trips out, and distancing. We can't control what others choose to do, only what we can do for ourselves.

Hi, I did a lateral flow test this morning which was negative, I just overreact to things, I just can’t help it, my son says he doesn’t feel to bad, just like bad flu, and his partner and children are the same, I just settled down from my daughters brush with it and now this has happened, I’m just freaking out, I do take all precautions but is it enough?, who knows with this virus. Thank you for your kind reply, it’s so nice to have people reach out, make me feel less alone and scared

Knowledge is power, it is how we cope, we find out the facts, and take it a day at a time. I'm very glad to hear the first group is recovering, and hope the same for the second. It's hard to see family and friends sick, and sure, this thing is changing every day, we can't control that, only try and make good choices. Hang in there and I'm glad your able to share here about it...

if everyone is vaccinated I think it is time to relax a bit.

I question why they keep getting exposed. I rarely if ever hear or read about someone getting covid if they are wearing masks.

Of the people that end up in the hospital vaccinated make up something like 1% and those people are either elderly or immune compromised.

Hi cimmy I know how you feel.My son and his partner are recovering from covid. My son was very poorly for a time but feeling better now. I have been very worried about them. Upset tum, insomnia, anxiety you name it I’ve had it and still suffering!

My daughter had a stroke last Xmas and is waiting for heart surgery. She comes to mine every day and I’m frightened of her catching covid.

I’m doing all the measures fauxartist has mentioned to keep her and me safe, I can’t do any more.

I have a lovely rescue dog I walk frequently and talk to other dog walkers outside and from a safe distance. This keeps me sane!

Totally different life to the way I used to live but I walk my dog thru the woods on a lovely crisp morning and thank god I’m here to see it.

Take care, stay safe and I’m thinking of you xx

Hi, and thank you for your kind reply, I’m so sorry your going through it, it’s not nice is it. My anxiety is through the roof, wish I could just relax but like you tummy upset, nausea, shakes and just feeling frightened. I’m so glad your son is recovering, kids eh, you never stop worrying about them. Thanks again for thinking of me when your going through it yourself. Stay safe and take care Sending you a healing hug 🤗
