So I asked her what she was afraid of, and it is passing it on to others and making them really sick. So I was able to give her similar advice to this, so thank you. I don't know if it will help, but it might alleviate some of her worries.(12-11-2021, 11:07 PM)nothing Wrote: Both, though more so passing it on.Its an awful thought, that you might cause someone to get sick.
The way I look at it is that if I try really really hard to not be the cause of illness in others, then what does that mean for my life? I think of all the times I must have passed the flu on and it be passed to me.
The pandemic will settle in time. For now you just keep doing you and minding you and other people will have to take responsibility for themselves.
Her husband is very high risk as he is immunocompromised, and they havent really done anything since covid started. Her anxiety flared up big time this week when she heard there was one class in their kids school that had 10 cases last week, and there were 3 cases in one of the kids classes, but they weren't told. I really is a very tough time for people, and the constant headlines and media reports just don't help at all. I've tried to get her to stop looking at the news sites, but she is really tuned in to them.
