I can understand why you’d feel you needed to do some things to keep safe, after all many of the things you’re describing are things we were told to do by authorities.
I hope that I haven’t contributed to your anxiety by anything covid related that I’ve posted and that following this thread hasn’t made you worry more?
I think we’ve all (on this thread) been anxious about this pandemic to some degree. Whatever helps you please feel free to post here, we understand your anxieties. Hugs! |
No, you haven't contributed at all to my OCD stuff and other fears; it's literally this pandemic and my constantly looking at the news every day about any changes with the pandemic. I'm just a wreck. I've been isolated from the world, and I live alone, and I have no family close enough to take care of me if something were to happen to me, so I've been trying to avoid the virus at all costs. But all I know is what I read in the news. I don't know much else, other than what my T tells me or a few veteran friends I made online locally tell me. But still, it's hard to trust anyone.
You're good - so no worries about what you share. I mean, you have the freedom to share. I just need to figure out what is going on with my OCD brain. I have dissociation, so it is now made more complex when I don't even trust my alternate personalities with safety protocols and this pandemic, so now I have personalities (like littles) who are upset that I'm isolated and home (like we're in house arrest) for about 21 months or so now. I'm a mess!
