I'm trying to avoid reading the news too much now. I watched one video on YT about how soap kills the virus and suddenly I had nothing but Corona related videos in my recommended list. NO, GO AWAY!! Especially videos on the symptons and how it goes day to day. I'm sure they were made with good intentions but all they do is scare people.
Today for some reason my anxiety is up again. I think the idea of a lockdown may be contributing. On the one hand hand it's a relief that there'll finally be some more drastic measures to protect everyone but on the other hand it really hits how serious this situation is. And I'm scared about things never getting back to normal.
P.s. possibly TMI  does anyone else's anxiety make them pee more? It's one side effect of anxiety for me, and on top of that it causes a dry mouth which makes me drink more water. Usually just annoying but now it's getting worrying that I'm on my last roll of toilet paper  I honestly hate people who hoard everything. So glad it's not that time of the month yet.... it'd be horrible to be out of toilet paper! |
Break, I understand you are freaking out and with high levels of anxiety. This is being a hard challenge for everybody. And as till now the only good news came from China, it’s normal we see day after day that the situation doesn’t change but I know it’s a matter of time. Chinese people got it and we are gonna get it. Hope in Italy things gets better soon. It may be a great hope.
Here the same, not all non essential works have been suspended. The authority in my country on sanitary alarms offered an explanation.
And compared the differences between the case in China and the case in Europe.
So, according to him, in countries such us, Italy, Spain, Germany or France the right measures have been taken to keep a balance between an effective fight against the pandemia and don’t force the Economy in an unliveable way.
Now, it’s on your hand to believe it or not.
I don’t have still enough information to give a founded opinion.
P.S.: When you have to go out for groceries, please be careful, wear mask and gloves and especially go to places where people use masks because still I found some supermarkets that emphasize on the gloves thing but don’t say anything about masks. And there have been contagious.
