Bird flu

I am back here because bird flu infected a person in Texas recently and it has triggered my anxiety. I am very afraid of H5N1 due to its high mortality rate.

I hope this is not another pandemic emerging. I pray for us all.

I don't live in the exact area where bird flu has been found. But I also worry about another pandemic. I can't tell you not to worry because saying it does no good. Just know you are not alone in this.

I have heard of that! They only appear every 17 years (I think). Maybe I will try to draw one of them. :)

Good idea my friend. They say the more we know about something,

the less we fear. :) xx

Thank you Stippler, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I know that others are concerned about this as well, as I have been posting updates about it on Reddit and getting millions of views.

I am trying to just accept the situation and hope for the best, but my amygdala is firing up due to the anxiety :\

I know that people on this website will understand that.

For now I will go do my 3rd meditation of the day, and maybe change my therapy from once every 2 weeks to every week during this time.
