I'm curious. What was your intent in starting this thread? How is negativity in a crisis anything but counterproductive?
I've seen many on here openly express feelings of stress and anxiety. People with loved ones and children. People losing their jobs. This won't help them. Stress upon stress is harmful to people. It manifests itself psychologically and physiologically. It can weaken your immune system and cause you to be overcome by your own fear.
I mean, I guess you do have the freedom to express yourself and maybe this is your way of dealing with your fear but be mindful of others when doing so.
I've found staying off of this site with its incessant, obsessive focus on the virus, and controlling my exposure to the extent I can act in my best interest AND maintain a healthy and happy perspective has been very beneficial. I kindly suggest you try it.
I haven't been tested but I've exhibited some of the symptoms and I've managed them so far through proper rest, nutrition, and video games. And while I'm saddened for those who are going through tougher situations I choose to stay strong and happy to the extent I can, if anything, so that it gives me the best chance to get through this mentally and physically.
It's a line that's decorated far too many Instagram accounts to not be cringe-inducing, but I still believe it to be a good lesson: Don't worry about the things you can't control.
- To be fare, there's a lot of pent-up anxiety in general in most people. Having a place to express yourself, vent, laugh and or cry is a positive.utopian
- I'm also trying to stay away from the news as much a possible. It's extremely difficult though. Take care of yourself Steve!utopian
- Thanks I appreciate it. Perhaps you're right. I just hope the many, over-burdened by their own circumstances, aren't unnecessarily overwhelmed by others'.SteveJobs
- I feel completed overwhelmed, trapped, helpless. Just wish that I could be close to my family. I probably will not see them for at least 3-4 months.utopian
- And they all live only roughly 10 miles from me...so close, yet so far.utopian
