I talked to my case manager/care coordinator yesterday. She's concerned about the social aspects of my life with this Coronavirus happening. I am still able to go to work so some of my social needs are filled there although most of the day is spent in my office alone. I am sleeping a lot when I am not at work. She's concerned if we can't work or when we go to 4 days a week how it is going to impact my mental health. She likes what I am currently doing and she wants me to keep that up, but she also wants to make sure I am getting fresh air and socializing within the parameters of the pandemic. Apparently texting doesn't count! I did call a friend last night before we talked and she thought that was good, and I emailed another friend. But she did seem pleased with my progress and how I am getting along so far. I like how positive she is. She is always like, I'm so happy to talk to you! Who am I kidding, she is probably like that with everyone, but I can at least pretend that she cares. But last night we were talking on the phone and I was in the dining room and so were both of my parents and I had to remind them that I was on the phone because they were getting sort of loud. She seemed to think that me being around my parents all the time isn't a good thing for me. But with the pandemic, what else can I do? She said she is happy for me with me doing better although earlier in the conversation she asked me if I needed to go to the hospital due to my thoughts but I told her no that they were just thoughts.
