Update: one of my worst nightmares happened. My father also got Covid. He has no symptoms for now; he will do a PCR test and he will call his doctor at hospital, just to be sure.
Damn. He had four vaccinations and still he got it. My mother has heavy symptoms, like from a heavy flu. I hope he will not get it, too, because of his weak heart and lungs 
Iām feeling soā¦ empty right nowā¦ I am very afraid

Pulling for you, Mini. Hopefully those vaccinations will give home just enough protection to make it through without the symptoms affecting anything in him thatās already vulnerable. 
Well shit, I have covid. Im not sure how or when I got it, but I suspect it was from my family members, who are all pretty much sick except my brother. Im going to have wear masks in the house now, so wish me luck, guess il see what happens from here.
Dont worry, he will be all right, just be in touch with the doctor. He is vaccinated and nothing should happen - just some normal flu. Keep frequent contact with doctor and do as the doctor says.Be positive.
Iāve had a very mixed day. Kindof day that makes me think sometimes Iām far closer to a breakdown than I realise. Basically, thought I was getting the car back today, which I need to for work. Garage calls at 4pm, says oops, part we need doesnāt come til Monday, and it turns out the price of repairs is easily double what I was anticipating. And after already spending a decent amount of money on repairs last month already, this is quite bad for me financially. And then I go downstairs, and realise that my tumble dryer has broken, all my work clothes are soaking wet, so trying desperately to get a couple dry using a radiator so I can wear them to work. And I get an e-mail reply to a job I applied for at the last minute, saying they need my birth certificate as proof of identity before theyād even give me an interview. Doubt I could get a copy of that in quick enough time, so had to give up on that job opportunity I guess.
Just, I donāt know, I feel like a fragile vase sometime. Just worried that one bad event and I will just shatter. Kindof day where I wanted to stay home and just stay in bed and cry all day like a toddler.
I have managed to sort out the financial situation of the car thankfully. And I can still go to work by bus because they still need a guy to work in the store, so at least Iām not losing many hours. Booked tumble dryer repair for Wednesday. And finally, after putting my house back up for sale last Friday, I now have accepted a new offer today, which hopefully will work out. Just ups and downs I guess, but I still feel like utter garbage, and hate how cold and dark it is outside.
Feeling truly exhausted from the fear that, tonight, my country may truly fail me and countless others, choosing hate and fear over responsibility and reason. Dunno what Iām gonna do if Congress goes red, considering all theyāve said theyāre gonna do thatās gonna make the USA hell. My wife and I are seriously considering other countries that we might be need to move to if it gets as bad as we fear, including Mexico and some places in Europe.
I can relate to this quite a bit, honestly feel the same.
dang Iām sorry you feel that way too. it truly sucks because thereās no way out.
Sounds to me like you need some relaxation. Truly some me-time for yourself, cut yourself off from any and all negative distractions and let your brain relax and refresh using something you enjoy.
Also sleep. Some good sleep, helps the brain reset
Iām not a doctor though, so I donāt fully know
yeah thatās kinda what Iāve been doing. played a new game and slept in for like the first time in a year yesterday (seriously) and am just trying to focus on non-stressful things at this moment. you are definitely right about the sleep thing though so thanks for the reminder. a person can only survive so long on caffeine and adrenaline. hope you are doing well too, Chicken.
thanks, Iām doing okay. Workās going well at least, Iām keeping up finally.
Art stuff, well, Iām doing it a little bit, want to try a few new things, regret leaving some projects in the dust, a bit of everything! Just experiencing a bit of choice-paralysis I guess in what I want to start/continue/finish first.
(that, and also, balancing out video game-based relaxation haha)
I havenāt made a big deal about it here or anywhere else on social media, but Iāve been on sick leave for the last seven weeks. Tomorrow is the first day I have to go back to work and unfortunately Iām not feeling well at all. Iāve had a headache and a racing heart for a few hours and I should have gone to bed half an hour ago.
I hate my work at the moment. I love the children I work with, but the work environment is a disaster. The whole system is a disaster and I feel like Iām just treading water at the moment. I used to really like the job, but there have been some changes in the last few months that have made working there very unpleasant.
Today I had an initial consultation at a psychosomatic day clinic. I have a good feeling about it, but unfortunately they have very long waiting times. Iām going to register anyway, maybe Iāll get lucky and someone will drop out and Iāll move up on the waiting list, so hopefully Iāll get a place quickly.
As for work, I have a meeting with my coordinator on Wednesday. I will ask her if there are any alternatives for me. Unfortunately, it canāt go on like this. I have to hold out for five weeks until the Christmas holidays, I hope I can do that. But Iām not happy with it 
Sorry to hear that. See if you can get some rest and approach tomorrow with as much vigour as you can. Hopefully better things are on the horizon for you; Christmas should give you a bit of rest, so look forwards to a break and (fingers crossed) some new opportunities!
Thank you 
Yes, christmas is something Iām looking forward this year, I donāt know why, but I am very excited about christmas 
We all figured it was something like that, man, so we held our tongues. Hope you work through it ok, and the withdrawal doesnāt wrack you too hard.
Itās okay, donā't blame yourself. I hope that you can go through this good and I wish you all the strength to do so
all good, man. look after yourself. weāre all rooting for you 
itās ok to sometimes lash out, we all had a gist of what was going on and donāt blame ye for it. good tĆ© see ye like this again. all strength to you.
We thought as much, well friend enjoy everything and everyone, everyday and the world is complete
