Forced Vaccine Requirement

[kristinelorraine]

If I only have the money and resources, I will move to another state. NYC is not the same as it was before. Our mayor is destroying our city.
I wish I could move in a different state but my husband's job is here in NYC. As you guys heard from the news, the crimes, drugs, muggings and homelessness are in all-time high here. I don't have any political affiliation and I respect other people's decision whether or not they want to get vaccinated.

Crime isn't even close to an all time high in NYC.

Do you live in NYC?

I work from home…have since March 2020 and will continue to do so for the “foreseeable future” according to my employer. I don’t get out much due to this but when I do, I still wear a mask and avoid crowds whenever possible. But I have always had an issue with crowds long before covid and was social distancing before it was a thing.

I've worked from home since October 2017, and I've also practiced social distancing and limited outings since long before the pandemic was a thing.

Do you live in NYC?

Not currently, no. I used to live in Bedstuy. How would that possibly be relevant?

Not great in my part of the state either. I want to move badly…for many reasons. It just isn’t possible for me. And now, my anxiety is sky high once again due in large part due to the vaccine issue. It is overwhelming my thoughts, putting me on edge and making me feel that constant “doom and gloom” feeling. I feel like an outsider on life, a pariah if you will and am deeply worried where things might be headed, especially in this state.

I feel you. Most of the people here are not wearing masks and not social distancing anymore and it's driving my anxiety high. Lots of stores here have closed down and ran out of business because of the pandemic. It's quite depressing. I miss riding the subway but I'm afraid of catching the virus or being mugged. They keep on reducing the police presence even though the crime is steadily increasing. Though I'm feeling a bit safer when I'm at home since our building is near the police station and a hospital.

I'm sad to see people going at each other the way some are in this thread. It's surprising, because it wasn't like that before on here and I haven't been on in a while.

Yep, I'm with you there. Unfortunately.

 

[ThankfulJen]

Agreed. No one should be made to feel guilty or less than for a personal health related decision. Especially on a Health Anxiety forum board.

I think the main thing is we should be focusing on and trying to help each other with anxiety issues.
