Lately everytime I go on any social media’s all I see is stuff about corona virus. I wasn’t having a ton of anxiety about it but I feel like it keeps getting worse and worse everyday. It’s now starting to happen in my state and schools are closing and people are going wild and buying toilet paper and cleaning supplies like crazy and it’s all starting to freak me out. I already don’t go out much because of my severity of my anxiety, but I still need to get out and do things so I don’t allow my anxiety to completely take over and stay in bed all day. My parents also come in contact with a lot of people at their work so that makes me nervous. Yesterday I cleaned all the doorknobs, handles, phone with Clorox cause I was worried. I also find myself touching my face a lot because of my anxiety so it has be even more worried. I feel like I’ve began to have a kinda sore throat and watery eyes the last two days so its all been manifesting in my head. I’m a 21 year old with good health Besides my bad anxiety which I’m taking propranolol for my fast heart rate caused by my anxiety and pristiq for the anxiety so I know I’m not at risk of dying from it but it still scares me. I’m not sure what to do to help put my mind at ease. There’s too much all over social media and I feel like anything I go on or look at that’s all I see.

well I feel like the main reason people are stocking up is because they are seeing other people stock up like crazy which leads people to worry about shortages of these items which is why a lot of people feel like they have to go out and buy it. We went out and bought toilet paper cause it’s going like crazy but not bc of the virus but bc it’s going out of stock. But obviously not going to church, big gatherings, not traveling etc, is appropriate with this going on.

right. If you have traveled or been in an area where it’s been spreading a lot you should probably stay home for a little while just in case not only to protect yourself but others as well if you may have it. It annoys me to see people traveling cause they could be spreading it. Bringing it to other places and not even know it. Or we have the people that panic once they have it and go places and touch door handles, etc. its so easy to spread And nobody can track down there every step so it spreading is inevitable. all you can do is wash your hands, keep your surroundings clean and do as you please at your own risk. I can’t wait for things to go back to normal and this all calm down. I read that there is a vaccine for it now but who knows how that will go. I don’t even want the flu vaccine so I’m sure a lot of people asked for a vaccine but won’t even take it.

We got mostly food items and water. We did get toilet paper, but not a lot and because of the reason you suggested. I'm worried for my own health, but for my 3yo granddaughter and her greatg

I am worried about my health, but that of my 3yo granddaughter and her great, great grandmother too.
I dont wanna get exposed, expose my granddaughter (which would be horrible), but then her expose her great, great grandmother. That could be really bad.

Yeah it’s hard to say right now cuz it takes awhile to get approval for human trials but i hear you. people are stupid coming home from other countries and being ignorant about hygiene or not self quarantining themselves. i really hope it dies down too because it’s just so out of hand. stocks are down like crazy all kinds of events are being canceled like how much worse can it get! we are suppose to go to new york in june i just hope it calms down by then. until then we are washing our hands like crazy!
