[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once I realized people were ok with me sacrificing my mental health so they could feel safe, I stopped caring about them. I had to. I was on a cliff, and I needed to be able to step back. I'm sorry that offends people, but I need to convince myself that my life matters.[/quote]

PP, I agree with you.

I have never been someone suggesting we should mask or socially distance to protect vulnerable people. In fact I did for a year and a half. I took time off from work to manage my kid's virtual school at home, didn't visit family for over a year, got vaccinated and boosted as soon as I was able (having to take multiple days off each time due to side effects). I not only wore masks everywhere I went, I spent hours of my life making, researching, and buying masks for myself and my family (cloth masks at first and then K95s as we learned how much better they were). Hundreds of dollars on PPE. Thousands in lost income due to going PT to educate my kid at home. No travel, socializing online only, etc. Figuring out how to celebrate my kid's birthday and holidays without seeing family or going anywhere. Figuring out how to manage two adults WFH and one kid doing online learning in an 1100 square foot apartment.

And now when I do things like follow CDC guidance on masking, I am screamed at as selfish and ignorant?

Okay.

I don't care (anymore). Y'all are on your own. I'm gonna live my life now.[/quote]

Sounds like you did everything to protect your own kids. How is that sacrificing anything for someone else beyond those dependent on you?[/quote]

lol. This lady has one kid, two parents, both with wfh jobs, job flexibility to go part time to help with virtual, enough money for whatever Ppe she was spending hours sourcing, missed vacations and birthdays (who didn’t have this?), and she thinks she had a uniquely rough time in this pandemic?
