      You took the words right out of my mouth! i wake up happy,all is good. Then it hits me like a rock.....what is going on. I get a deep feeling of ....just a nightmare....a horrible sadness! Can barely sleep. Not into food. i feel alone because i live alone. Trying to overcome my feelings of distress! Got my paints and brushes out...this is a time to do things you have been holding off...reading,writing,art music. Thats all i have for now....sending love out you all!

    I'm so with you on this, I have health anxiety so everything that's going on has heightened the anxiety. But I have found that not reading the news online all the time has helped a lot and the breathing exercises. I've had to reel myself in as was getting obsessional 😫 but with good hand hygiene and do our part to protect ourselves we will get through it.

      Yes! Not obsessing is the answer.Mind you,being informed is important. i go to you tube for that. Turn the news off! Hope you'll be ok!

    Soon everyone will be able to be tested. If you are in a hurray see your doctor who may be able to arrange for you to take it sooner if it is suspected that you have symptoms of it.

    Yes. The news freaks me out. Plus that in peri your immune system is lower. I already feel like crap. I just want it to be over with but they don't have even enough test kits here.

      hi shellofstoke, good old Boris hey! 🙄 . to be honest I was like oh my god! pure panic.. but then I think he said that to get people to listen to do as their told with isolation to be sensible. and I do think it's working. I work for the NHS and I have health anxiety, good mixwe're all quite anxious at the moment its scary. but with good hand hygiene keeping away from close contact. and deep breathing!! you will get through it. try not to read every thing online as alot of it is fake news x
