“Thank you for this. This is the first COVID Anxiety podcast I’ve listened to. Not sure what sparked me to listen today, 10/31/21, but it was nice to hear a rational recap of our collective feelings. I’m vaccinated. I’ve worn a mask since March 2020. (Still do, actually.) I don’t think I’m too far one way or the other. Wait, probably a bit more on the cautious side. :) I haven’t gotten my hair cut since 2/2020. I haven’t gotten a pedicure since then, either. I haven’t been inside a restaurant since 2/2020. I have been to a handful of outdoor dining/breweries. Am I cautions, yes. Do I feel like I’m “not living my life”- NO. So many people say live your life, but I’m really OK with the “reserved” version of it. Do I get antsy? Yes. Do I miss live concerts? OH MY GOD YES. My real anxiety comes from 3 places: 1. Getting COVID and it messing me up or killing me. 2. That happening to someone I love. 3. My supervisors and coworkers without regard to my personal beliefs. #3 is the toughest because I don’t have 100% control over that. It’s not fair that I can’t say “Don’t come near me without a mask.” Anyway, we’re in this together. Thanks for reminding me I’m not alone. I wish for all living things to be happy, healthy, and safe. I pray for it every night. ❤️”
