How we all feel!

Hello everyone. Well, we all have problems with getting our injections - GPs having cancelled them, and then not being able to find injections - Is that due to Brexit? and then giving ourselves injections. Covid has a lot to answer for, and I think that none of us thought this would carry on so long. We are feeling anxious, and stressed and so many other symptoms. I know there are many of us who have not been able to see loved ones (15 months since I saw my daughter and son in law) and 4 years since I lost my husband. I think before Covid, we did struggle with medical issues, but we coped! But now we are finding it really hard to keep going and it is hard to get rid of the thoughts in our head. But the good news is, that we have a wonderful support system here on PAS, and know we only have to start typing a question, how we feel and wondering what to do to even get an injections. (I can only describe how it makes me feel - I feel I have a mouse on a wheel in my head and it is going round and round shouting "~You will never see your family again". Can't shut it up! ( I have stopped feeding it, but it still keeps going) - just a little lightness, maybe it will give you a smile. But honestly, we are like a blanket, and coming on here, is like wrapping ourselves up in it,knowing we are not alone and so many people to help. Take care of yourselves, and we will do our best to keep going. There is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccines (I had my first one recently) Do not suffer in silence, we are all here for each other. Good luck to all of you. You are all so brave and you deserve to feel better, and hopefully we will, when we can say "Goodbye Covid"! Sending you all best wishes from Scotland. love Briarhill Cat. Meow

You are welcome. It is good that we can help each other. It is something we all struggle with when we cant get our B12 injections and Covid too, so let us help each other. I tell myself that things will get better (we just have to begin to believe it) Good luck to you, Ratherbewalking. Briarhill cat Meow. x

Thank you for writing exactly what I have been feeling. For a year now I've kept my head down and tried to just focus on getting by one day at a time. Now waiting to get the vaccine seems to have stirred up hope and hope is making me anxious for this all to be over. I tell myself to breathe deeply, just a few more months . . .

We can only keep going and hoping. Things are improving, but it has been going on for such a long time. Keep your chin up, and hopefully better days are ahead. So many people suffering. Our little group on here has been really helpful. At least we know we are not alone.

2 Worlds we live in.

1/ The narrative world controlled by Gov's & the media.

2/ The real world a simple world that passes day by day & life goes on.

We all know this in our hearts.

I have had covid - started on 1st January. Not a great start to this year.But lucky; it dragged on a bit, but no need for hospital. Got a phone call from GP receptionist yesterday - I've got my 1st vaccination injection next week.

Things are looking up !

Keep going, keep hoping, keep busy.
