[quote=Anonymous]Not to be dramatic or anything …but covid ruined my life. I was happy social and had a life with travel work and family. Since March 2020, we’ve only been outdoors, no inside events, just our core family, no travel, and I got pregnant and now I have a 8 month old. So we are still masking, still outdoors, still haven’t seen family in other states, and have had no childcare or breaks. Life has been sad and miserable and stressful and just can’t see an end in sight. My sister and mom got covid ba5 and they’re having horrible after effects as in heart palpitations shaking crying about their brain fog going to doctors who referred them to neurologists and taking some intense medications. Then I read about covid causing dementia. Then about it causing these life long issues in children.

And here I am with a 4.5 year old that is starting school in one week. Supposedly. I just don’t think I can bring myself to go through with it. I am scared. I lie awake at night imagining the whole house positive, my baby my bigger kiddo, and having major health implications. We live in a rural area. I am considering a nanny like we had in DC but husband is opposed, he wants our son in preschool. I know he’ll get a million germs just after the first day but I’m am terrified of covid. So this is a rant a desperate attempt to ask for how to be rational, see if I’m crazy or just my anxiety that I know likely needs some treatment. But yes, covid ruined my life and I look out at the world and I don’t know how people can just go about their lives normally knowing how messed up this virus is and its impact on the body. [/quote]
