With my Anxiety being as high as it is all the damn time I've been following the virus since the beginning.

I told fellow workers "they laughed" that this was coming and it was a big deal, this could have been prevented.

Did you all see it coming?

I hope you are all stocked up on food and supplies (toilet paper) haha.

This really sucks and I hate leaving my house.....

There was talk of a super bug as far back as ten years ago. Something that will come along that no medication will work on. Now here we are. Is this the super bug? They said it would kill loads of people around the world. So they have been waiting for it to happen for some time now. At that time they were blaming the over use of antibiotics. That the second a person feels unwell they run to their doctor and get an antibiotic. So this super bug will find a way around our modern medicine. They reckon we will have to come up with new forms of antibiotics. That was ten years or more ago.

I remember my father in law talking about it during new years..right after that my anxiety kicked in and i started preparing supplies,medicine and food and drinks. I was fully ready by end of January..my entire family laughed at me including my wife and kids. We live in nj about 20 mins from nyc so when **** went down they all thanked me.

I was saying to my family end of December this is going to be big and my family all thought was mad, and it was nothing, now they can finally see l was right all along. My anxiety has increased as a result, l keep thinking what I get sick during this time of lock down and l need to go to doctors or hospital? This is not the place you want to be right now, and because of that l feel trapped inside my head and physically. Its like you go outside you die or stay inside and stay safe and healthy. I try not to check my body anymore, just in case l see something that will make me panic and have to talk to doctor.

I feel the same worry shezian - I get very stressed over the idea that if I needed to see a doctor or go to a hospital - this is NOT the right time for that. It is very stressful.

Yep for sure! amEveryone thought I was crazy. Now i get calls asking how i get my groceries, make hand sanitizer, make masks etc. These are the same ones that laughed at me in the beginning and now that things are getting real they aren't so happy and quick to start laughing anymore.
