How Has The Corna Virus Effected Your Stress Levels?
How are you coping? What skills are you using? This scary nebulous thing is blowing up in our faces? I have stopped going out except for essential stuff or to go to work. That I am not sure will last. Major retail stores have closed, restaurant do not allow sitting and have layed off wait staff and cooks. Even Starbucks has only take out and no sitting. No gym, no movie theaters and no bars. Just how are you doing?
I am "Essential Personnel" so it concerns me when I have to go out. Without sounding like I don't care, I guess I don't have the energy to give it. I don't walk in fear. I wake up every morning, thankful to be alive, with all of my needs met.......I stay grounded and humbled knowing that I am in a better position than a lot of people. I pray for the best and then I live!!! Being diagnosed with H.I.V. was the end of my living a stressful and fearful life.
I have to say that I am a little lonely because I am used to being a bit more social, doing things after work. Now I am just a work-to-home person which is not me at all. I stay connected texting, calling and having virtual happy hours and great conversations with friends.
wear a mask when I go out or to the store. Attend church online. Trust God and read scripture. Social distance and exercise at home. No long distance trips. Stop worrying about it and do my best and keep living
My anxiety is through the roof my depression is getting worse but im scared to go out unless i have a dr appointment or i really have to cuz everything else has happened to me so im scared i will catch this too and it wouldn't be good not only cuz im hiv positive but cuz i have a lot of health and breathing problems i don't even go see my mama that much i mostly text or video chat
Basically going to work... coming home... repeat! Social life now consists of going to the grocery store...
I'm alright because I only go to church and Dr appointments. Church has been cancelled but I study and read the Word of God daily.
