Well they are right. If so many of you would have worn them instead of screaming about your rights like little girls, we would have near zero covid instead of the devastating pandemic we had.

Does anyone *not* have a diagnosis anymore?


It fricking pisses me off. I had these stupid diagnoses before it was cool, and it was hell. Seeing these parents doctor shop until their kid magically finally scores high enough just makes me mad to no end. Being the different person fricking blows, and parents subjecting their kids to it for their own validation is so goddamn frustrating.

Yep.

It’s college-educated, white, suburban upper middle class cachet.

It’s not fricking kidding around when it’s for real, and nothing you’re name dropping on an internet message board.

Spiraling because I recently had to tell my mom that I'll be skipping family vacation this year, and her response really kind of seemed like she was expecting it/had been assuming I wasn't coming.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it hurt. No mention of anything that could be done to make it safer for me to join the trip, didn't even ask WHY I'm not coming.

I can't fricking live like this. My family is just carrying on without me. My city is too small for the local "still-coviding" group to do anything beyond a weekly Zoom meeting at a time when I'm already booked, and even if I was free, no amount of digital hangouts will ever actually replace face-to-face human intimacy. Nearly all of my friends live in different states at best and different countries at worst, and it's either too risky or too expensive to go visit them.

I have a COVID-conscious therapist who's trying to help me work through all of this bullshite, and I recently upgraded to the maximum allowable dose of the medication I take for my OCD/generalized anxiety disorder. I could probably stand to exercise a little bit more, but I'm still terrified of anything more than a brisk walk triggering some sort of latent Long COVID after my first and only infection that I know of last summer.

I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing - masking, probiotics, mouthwash, nasal spray - but I still feel like shite every single day. What's the point in staying healthy just to eventually (probably) have to watch my loved ones succumb to Long COVID or any of the myriad of horrible outcomes that multiple infections can cause?

I'm not religious, I can't placate myself with the idea that doing the right thing is going to result in some eternal happiness once I'm done here on earth. Obviously, YES, you SHOULD do the right thing, but unfortunately there isn't any reward for that. I'm spending my one wild and precious life isolated, angry, lonely, and scared, waiting for me or my loved ones to become disabled or die.

What's the point in staying alive just to wish that COVID had killed me the first go-round every day?

I'm so tired. I don't want to do this anymore.


I first I thought this was all real. There is no way this one is real. No way.

Has to be a troll. "Still-coviding group?"

I think it's probably real

Our society was already producing so many frail, broken people who are alienated from real life and who catastrophize everything. Then you added COVID to the mix.

The number of miserable, broken people is only going to grow, and I suspect worsen as they don't marry, don't own homes, don't have kids, think the world is literally ending in a decade or two, think everyone who doesn't believe men can get periods is a genuine Nazi, etc.

Masks for sleeping

quote:

i'm a nanny and will be doing some overnight stays this week. i wear 3m auras & vflexes to work & will be sleeping in them as well. has anyone had success with this?

i'll also be sealing the door with towels, have my purifier running, and the window open. any other tips you want to provide? should i tape my mask to my face?


Leaving the house only makes me sad

quote:

I went out for a drive today; it was a beautiful day, by all accounts it should have made me happy (or at least not made me sad), but it's just a reminder of how I'm living in a completely different reality than 99% of the population. It was my mom's birthday on Monday and she and I went out today specifically to get food at a place we generally only go to this time of year (take-out, definitely not eat-in). There ended up being too many people when we got there and I didn't feel safe, so we didn't get anything. And driving home, seeing everyone out and about, shopping, eating in restaurants...idk, I'm home now and just sad.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. It's not like anything major or bad happened. I'm just depressed (I always am, but just feeling it extra right now). Every time I do venture out into the world, which isn't often, I always end up saying to myself, "Why did I do that? I wish I hadn't done that." I've never felt at home or comfortable in this world, but the past few years have cranked that feeling up to eleven.

Edited for clarity: I'm not envious of the people who are out and about. I'm as introverted as they come and genuinely love being home. When I see people out it fills me with incredulity more than anything else, and rage at the decisions by the powers that be that led 99% of the population to believe there's nothing to be worried about and mitigations aren't necessary anymore. I grieve pre-COVID life, where I could at least leave the house without worrying about catching a virus that could potentially disable me, but as awful as things are I can accept that's not life anymore. No one else (beyond this sub, of course) seems to be able to accept that, and no one is willing to do even the smallest thing, like wear a mask, to help make things better for everyone. I'm heartbroken that the reality I now find myself in is one where no one acknowledges reality. I barely knew how to exist in the world before, but now? It's a whole other level of isolation. But I know I'm doing the right thing, and I won't stop.


Do you know what the definition of insanity is?

Sounds like a very attentive nanny. Kid could be dying on her watch and she wouldn't know.

The ones that everyone was wearing that don't actually filter out particles as small as the covid virus? Those ones?

This shite is depressing to read and why Fauci needs to be locked up... mental illness is real and the damage he did was devastating.

We should mix up a batch of Jim Jones Kool-Aid in every town and tell them it's the new Fauci oral treatment for the Chinese Flu.

Shouldn't that tell you something about the... lack of reality that your reality is?

That's because it's retarded as crap.
