It’s crazy to think it’s been that long. I thought it’d be harder to fully switch from Reddit to here but I’m finding that I’m enjoying my time here WAY more then the 8 years I was on Reddit. I tried scrolling through Reddit a few days ago and it just didn’t feel the same as usual so I went ahead and fully removed the app. I’m happy to be here ☺️

If I’m in panic mode, I focus on being fully present without thoughts. So if I’m home, I might start to clean, or make tea or just any activity that I can wholly focus on without thinking about what I’m doing. When I’m not in a panic, deep breathing usually helps. I try to meditate throughout the week when I’m not anxious to help with practicing staying present when the panic and anxiety does come.
Infrastructure will definitely be effected. It’s the same where I live, the weather has been nuts lately. This stuff is happening collectively around the whole world and yet we still have people acting like it’s business as usual. Unfortunately, nothing will be done until something catastrophic happens. And by then, it’ll be to late.
Exactly. Shoots my anxiety all the way up because it’s not shit I can do about it. The people who can change things don’t give af.
I’m glad this is relatable to others, I feel like trash everytime before I realize I’m muted 🤣🤣
Staying present. Like fully focusing on a task like brushing my teeth, cooking, cleaning, etc. I just completely empty my mind and focus only on the act of doing that task. The sound, how things feel, my movements. I meditated ALOT before I was able to really understand what being present means. It helps a lot with minor things that cause me anxiety. Otherwise, deep breathing is something I try when I’m near panic…which is a hit or miss depending on how quickly my mind is racing.
You seem like you’re already doing everything you can to treat your symptoms. As Kolanaki said, there is no cure for the common cold. I’d continue getting as much rest as you can before your vacation. My colds usually take atleast 7-10 days to fully go away and that’s with proper rest. Sometimes I’ve gotten lucky and only had symptoms for a few days. If you have a sore throat, throat coat tea helps as well.
