There's no masks, the cough shields are being reused, doctors are now being asked to choose who lives and when doesn't, my wife is strong, but I fear she is losing hope

Friend,
At such times, I find both prayer and entering the world of great stories helpful. Two books you may find particularly helpful are Tolstoy’s Resurrection and Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. It is much easier and beneficial to have the book in hand, but I have linked online copies as a last resort.
One thing that is biochemical fact is alcohol will only make depression worse. It may numb feelings, but will only cause the spiral to deepen. I will pray that this dark time doesn’t last long.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

If she wasn't at oschner, I'd try to think more positive, I get out of bed to take care of our dog, I'm losing what little hope I had

Thats strange that you arent able to contact her. frick all that. It isnt like she is part of the manhatten project... dont make no sense.

Thank you so much Tulane, I know the alcohol is bad, but I've been self medicating since I was laid off, things are really grim for me.
Posted on 3/27/20 at 2:24 am to Ryan3232
I think she works a 14 hour shift and goes to sleep, I know shed contact me if she could
Posted on 3/27/20 at 2:25 am to Tunasntigers92
Shes probably just super busy. Mad respect to her though.
Hang in there bud.

I’m very sorry you’re having such a rough time, but I understand completely. Please DON’T do anything to hurt yourself. With that being said, I really respect and admire you for reaching out to others and discussing your pain.
Alcohol is not your friend if you’re already depressed which you already know. I’ve been there, and it will make your health much worse.
Instead, I try to also walk 1-2 hours a day, maybe do yoga or meditation or music-something positive for you to focus on even for 15 minutes. I know this sounds cliche, but when it gets bad, I like to close my eyes and mentally focus on everything I can be thankful for. Maybe do a teledoc appointment if you have a doctor.
Please know that you are not alone and just go focus on one day at a time. Take care of yourself. This is temporary!

Hang in there man. This too will pass. Better days are coming.

Heavenly Father,
Please be with our friend, Tunasntigers92, his wife, and his grandparents. May your mighty hand bring them safely through this wilderness. Let your love bring light to this darkness.
You will never forsake us nor leave us. In Christ, nothing, not fear, loneliness, disease, not even death, can separate us from your love. Help all of us rest in the promise of your love for us.
Help Tunasntigers92 to know your promises of love and faithfulness. You will not forsake us. When fear and illness enclose him in a tunnel, break open that space. Liberate him from this prison and restore his soul. You are our Rock and our Shepherd, a very comfort through every trial. You will not forsake us. You know the deepest depths of despair and walk there with us. Be with our friend, Tunasntigers92 and his wife, please.
Hear this, our prayer, Lord. Amen.

I'm glad that I've started walking out nature trail daily, I try to spend as much time as possible outside. It's when I get in our bed at night that I remember my wife is risking her life for those less fortunate, I have never fallen back on alcohol before this point, I lived and lost my childhood home through Katrina, but a storm is something you can avoid, I am scared, and I am left in the dark.

I don't know who you are Tulane, but I will always and forever be grateful to you, please do keep my wife in your prayers, you are certainly a special individual, nothing has brought me calm, but only despair in the last two weeks, but I have found an inkling of solice through you.
God bless you and your family.
God bless you and your family.

I haven't been able to go to the gym, I haven't been able to lift weights,
Man I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s affecting mentally.
I’m by no means super strong or jacked but lifting and chasing gains at the actual gym is so therapeutic... I haven’t been able to replicate that with resistance bands/body weight.

I'm not jacked, ripped or yolked, but I deal with my anxiety in the gym.

If she is young an otherwise healthy her chances of having something bad happen are very very low. Don’t let the anxiety take hold. Just make sure she is using the correct PPE and hope she has the balls to walk away if the hospital fails to protect her. Why can’t you contact her? Also if you haven’t seen a psychiatrist and/or therapist now would be a good time to reach out to one. They do telemed appointments.

Amen. I miss the barbell so much - it’s so simple yet takes all of your focus and effort.

I said a prayer for you and your wife. I am so sorry, again, for what you’re both going through.
