How do you respond to people who say you are reading too much news and being obsessive? I was just keeping my distance for my sake, I'm in the vulnerability group, and hers too. It upset me making me feel a fusspot. Anyone else had this reaction?

You must look after yourself, we are told to distance ourselves for a reason x

Hi there, i would say just ignore and keep on doing what you need to do to remain well. Follow the guidelines and leave the nay sayers to themselves xx
Dizzytwo, thank you. It was a family member, which is why it hurt
Hi there, that's understandable. But unfortunately if they are blinded to what is happening then you must take responsibility for yourself and your wife.
I am not sharing mothers day to day with my son. But hopefully by following the governments guidelines we will have many more mothers day together in the future.
But please continue to follow the health guidelines. They have been put into place for a reason xx
Hi Tedy 😊🌿🌸🦋
I’m sorry you’re experiencing the negatives from others about the virus.
Decades ago before my FM and autoimmune disease diagnoses I too was ridiculed for taking extra care/precautions for myself and those around me.
I’ve always had the challenges of this because outwardly I looked the picture of health.
I KNOW myself inside and out so it really doesn’t matter what others think or say about what I know is best for my care.
It’s always difficult to carry on when anyone else is challenging us no matter the issue.
Whenever that challenge is new and the ramifications it presents are truly unknown there will always be nay sayers.
My best advise is to ignore what negative responses are thrown at you with I’m doing what is best for me and carry that through.
Let them do as they please and say a prayer they will be protected against whatever the issue is.
We will always face others who put us down for things they refuse to believe. Having a hidden chronic health condition like FM is still being denied/misunderstood as all the new ones will be that are yet to come.
No one knows you better than yourself...don’t let the doubting public convince you that your reality doesn’t exist.
Be your best advocate and teach those ignorant to your truth and carry on.
I just said a special prayer for you.
Best wishes my friend.

I admit I am a news addict. I watch news from around the World, I always have. It makes me feel safe in the World I live in because I know what's going on and can react to it. I do understand though, that some people find the news depressing and are blind to what goes on sometimes. It is just because they are fearful of a situation, we can't blame them for that. We can only do what we do and let them do what they do. x
