I am pretty sure at this point I'm going to get Covid 19. Matthew's sister called , her husband has a high fever and stomach pains. Yesterday she was over here and come to find out -she and her mom shared a bong and then Matthew and his mom did.
And his mom had to go out again today to get cigarettes and I heard her say about 5 minutes ago ( oh I haven't washed my hands today). I am drag the recliner in this room and start sleeping on it and spending all my time here and away from the rest of the house.
So, no fever. That's good, but I still want to go back to bed and I've only been up an hour.
So many people I know are feeling exhaustion, and even chest pain, but no fever. Our non-medical speculation is the stress is causing its own set of symptoms.
I reposted some Tweets on FB about this: the exhaustion and need to nap is absolutely a trauma response. Like, a textbook trauma response. It's a 100% normal reaction to a terrifying situation that we have very little control over.
There will be a third interview (with one of the company's customers?), but it sounds like he's the leading candidate.
Edit: Oh, an internal customer. That makes more sense.
It's amazing to me that this is moving forward not just this week, but over the weekend! This is the Florida job?
Good luck, askye.
The conversation he had this morning was with the recruiter. Don't know yet when this third interview might happen. It does sound like they would have him work remotely for the moment.
My cousin is a nurse for a private urology practice who is still working. Said cousin is still visiting my Aunt who is in her 70s, and that Aunt is still visiting my grandfather who is 92. I am so angry there might be actual steam coming out of my ears.
Why won't people take this seriously?
I am at the point where I don't care if , after this is over, I have to move in w/mom temporarily and drive 3 hours a day round trip to work I just need to be in an different enviornment
That sound wise, askye. Take care of yourself as best you can in the meantime.
And my aunt was yelling at my mother to still have a big Easter dinner because she was told you can still see "your tribe".
I emailed my therapist the other day to thank him for all his help and let him know how well I'm doing. In one reply he said that this is causing massive trauma on a social scale as well as with in families and he recommended this book
The Obstacle is the WAy

It's 1.99 for the ebook right now. I don't know if it will help anyone or even me but it might help some.
And it's not an ebook but I've found The Dialectical Behavior Skills Workbook to be really helpful. [link]
