Isolation, anyone?

7 Replies

I need to keep a level of sarcasm during those challenging time. I noticed, I have stuff myself with food trying to numb down this catastrophe : no more boyfriend, ms. disabled, not knowing when my next ocravus infusion is going to be. Did I mention I am in the high risk group for catching covid-19 and...die! I am 68 years old, a senior. I am a retired teacher: this put u in a # category all together, you are potentially on steroid to catch tat bug! Just kidding (lol)> I am scared & so so isolated.

I have to shield for 12 weeks. Only 84 days to go.

I’m not anxious. I’m a healthcare professional. I should be with my colleagues, but I have stage 4 asthma. The instructions I received were not to go out at all. I can’t go for a walk or do any shopping. I can Open the window for fresh air. Chucking a ball for my dog is as far as I can do in the back garden.

I know that this doesn't help u much. However , I envy you: ur dog and you backyard. I am all cooped up in brooklyn ny. 6th floor building. I cannot use the stairs, only the elevator.

I am scared too. I am 73. I don’t ever want to die but some reason I would especially not want to die from covid 19. I don’t know why I feel so strongly about that. Just because it is too close for comfort perhaps. Who would have ever dreamed we’d all be in this boat !

All I can do is “talk” on here, try not to think and take walks. What are you doing?

I am 69.I have MS and the corona fiasco. I live in Brooklyn NY. I am advised not to go out. I just go downstairs (live ion the 6th floor} and get my groceries delivered. I am scared too:being isolated with the-stay-at-home thing. For how long ? June?July??? I am dreaming about that boat we r in and that some day it we take us all away to safety. This boat sucks!

That is a tough situation to be in. Let us know how you are. Best to you. We all have to hang in there and we’ll get through.
