Hello all in this great community! I just wanted to say that I have had a 2 times hospitalization and 3 month battle with this disease and FINALLY seem to be on the mend.
My point is not sympathy, but empathy for others or their loved ones at during these dark times. I was/am working from home and the only time I've left the house in the last year is for prescriptions in the drive through. My son actually gave it to me as he got it from work as his boss didn't follow corporate protocol and the entire franchise was down for a week or so. He had it very mild, I'm still shedding disease cells 3 moths later.
My point is, I haven't seen any friends in person in a year. This is leading to depression and other symptoms of not having a normal life, not counting the virus. I quarantine my son and have been stuck inside for a very long time. Long story short, I'm talking to friends and family, including the children who sometimes seem to be most affected. I know my son is, and he hates that I mandate him staying home, but I love him too much.
So for ANYONE that is feeling the byproduct effects like depression or anything else, PM your friends here on the board, talk regularly to your friends and family, know there IS help out there, and even PM me or another person on this board for cathartic relief. I lost two friends to suicide this past year and others who were on the verge due to money problems, etc., and I will be happy to be anyone's "dumptruck" to unload and just get that much-needed scream off their chest. Who knows, choose a random member whom you've never PMed with and you might be surprised how close you could become. And don't forget about community support.
My PM box is always open to ANYONE who just wants to vent, talk, whatever to make sure we are safe from not only the virus, but it's "other" effects. We are here for you and please be there for others if possible. Peace and happiness to everyone!
