There's a lot of noise, anxiety, bickering, uncertainty out there. Had a coworker in Arizona take his own life yesterday. Shocking and sad. Was it depression, hopelessness, finances, lack of face to face support? we don't know. Reach out to someone- anyone if you're scared or in a bad place. I've seen half a dozen posters here reach out to TexAgs and get overwhelming support.
Turn off the news for a couple days. Walk away from social media for some time. These times are just temporary.

He said wife not girlfriend

I posted this on another thread, but it think it deserves reposting.

Not sure this is helpful but if you have a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, ect. you normally see and talk to see if they are offering virtual appointments. My psychiatrist sent out emails when everything first starting going downhill. I knew I didn't need an appointment last week, but I have one scheduled for Friday. My doctor's even accepting new patients via video chat, so you might check locally for someone to talk with virtually for now. When I first had to see someone I thought it was dumb, but it really did help.

Don't suffer alone. There are people and resources out there that can help you even if you are at home and not going out.

What are you bickering about?

She hates my girlfriend

You know how you can tell your girlfriend is getting fat? When she starts fitting in your wife's clothes.

My anxiety is through the roof. I shook until 11:00 Monday morning. Teared up driving into work a few times Monday. Was better today but thought today was Wednesday most of the afternoon. Had a little curbside hh with some co-workers today.

I'm a nurse.

I was shocked last night how anxious I was to go grocery shopping today. I'm the only one not pregnant in my group of friends and in a low-risk family, so I've become the one designated to shop for everyone else. I have insomnia off and on in good times and it was full-force last night. I felt so much better when I got 90% of what was on everyone's lists. But I was surprised that it hit me so hard. It wasn't even about the virus because honestly I'm not worried about that. But other people, dealing with crazy people, and possibility of food shortages really messed me up.

To be fair, I'm not experiencing anxiety but I still thought today was Wednesday until you said that. Gets confusing when every day is the same and the events that mark the progression of your week don't happen!

Hang in there

You're gonna love retirement.

I'm starting to think I really need to read less first hand accounts on here and watch less news.

I can't be the only one who seems to start feeling anxiety the more I read or news I watch. I hate to bury my head in the sand, but not sure how much more about this damn virus I can read/watch.

I have purposefully stopped watching the news since Sunday. I suffer from anxiety on a good day. The state of the world was really doing me in! Its Wednesday and i have thankfully began to feel better.

Controlled ignorance is bliss!

Everyone stay careful and remember to call your friends often.


I went through an unfortunate time in my life in 2006-2007. I moved to post Katrina new orleans for work rebuilding the city. I worked in the worst places exclusively. No police, no ambulances, no street lights, total thrid world feeling. It took less than two weeks to see a man get curb stomped until he maybe died...the cop that was called told me to leave before someone comes back for me - first time i'd seen solidified blood. After that it was downhill. My mental health suffered b/c there was no hope and I was all alone. It was a dangerous place and wanted to witness it first hand. I wanted to be a part of it.

I got to the point to where I didn't sleep (less than 3 hours per night) - work, gym, then walk around city until 2-3 in the morning each night. there is a chance i was walking 15+ miles per night ... just wandering was bad enough and then i got truly sick. if i heard a gun shot I would walk towards it looking for what happened. north of south clairborne... iverville projects ... walking through hords of homeless people - it was never dangerous enough for me. I was completely sick and being alone gave me no accountability. I needed to see carnage to make myself fel better. I got to the point to where crazy people would shy away from me b/c i had not one ounce of fear in my eyes. this lasted nearly 18 months.

I dont have these problems now, but when Coronavirus kicked up three weeks I told my wife that this was going to be the end for a lot of people. I could feel that old feeling of needing to be a part of the problem...and knowing that others will do the same. So take it from a complete stranger on a message board - please dont let your friends/family get obsessed with Coronavirus. Being obsessed with a disaster will ultimately turn you into a disaster. So many better places to focus obseission.

Sorry for the long post

Lost another employee today to a fever & another to childcare issues. That is 12 employees of mine out. Thankfully none of my nurses have come down with a fever & one will complete her quarantine this weekend. But damn.

My husband will probably want me to not come home at some point & stay with a coworker for who knows how long. Started this discussion tonight. My girls are 5 & 3. I can't stand the thought of being away from them, not getting hugs & kisses from them for weeks but I will do whatever I need to do to keep them safe.
