Covid fears and uncertainty

[Grace360]

This entire thing brings me an insurmountable amount of anxiety, altogether. On one hand I feel so vulnerable for not having the vaccine, as some form of protection. Pressure from literally all outlets to get the shot. And then again on the other hand, I hear stories. People dying from tje vaccine. Taking their first or second shot and dying days after. Then people say "well a very small part of the population" well what if that's me? Is it seriously a risk to take right now? Like just be like "well fingers crossed its not me" like wtf. Its hard enough worrying about all the other illnesses I supposedly have with hypochondria. Then if I have the vaccine my anxiety will skyrocket.
The media is just contradicting as well. They'll tell you someone died of the vaccine then the next minute "his father, mother, brother all died of Covid. He now regrets not taking it." Then one minute delta is just more contagious not more deadly the next "this healthy 25 year old is fighting for her life" This.. I don't know what to do. World is not very kind to anxiety right now.

No. You are right Grace. The News is not our friend these days. Maybe a few people who have taken the vaccine on this forum would be willing to share their experience with you! Never feel pressured into doing something you are not comfortable with but definitely speak with others if you can about their experience and give yourself time to outweigh all the information. Believe me. I know exactly how you feel.
