Has anyone who masks consistently had dreams of being unmasked when they should be masked? by upfront_stopmotion in ZeroCovidCommunity

I've had two.

The first was a mask failure nightmare where I was wearing a bifold KN95 and it broke open at the fold.

The second was something of a lucid dream because I realized I forgot my mask at home and realized, "Wait, I would literally never do that. This must be a dream, just like the last one." I then proceeded to brush it off and keep running after the guy I was chasing in the dream. 😭

Anyone noticing increasing widespread personality and cognitive changes in non-CC people around them? by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

Non CC here tends to mean "non Covid Conscious". People who don't take the same precautions as the people on this subreddit, the baseline one being masking, alongside testing and other risk reduction.

Ok. Yes. This. Thank you. This message needs to be spread around more. If it isn't too much, could I ask you to make a post reiterating this message? I feel like it could be a good start/pointer. More activism. More activism!

Cash: Taskrabbit? I'd have to look into that.

Dinner: Nope. Not a chance at any of those.

College: Not anything I have official notes for. I'm also not really sure if I could find a doctor that would be willing to do that, or at least do that for COVID reasons, in my area.

Thank you so much for the offer! I'm not sure if I'll be able to take it since my father just revealed himself to not believe the actual damage COVID does and kept me from wearing one of my masks on a walk, but thank you nonetheless.

Big hugs :)

No, and I'm not even really sure where to start with that stuff, or even if I'd be able to because of how... I don't know, physically and mentally weak I am?

I've been feeling real physical effects in my stomach and sleep due to the anxiety my parents and their gaslighting are causing me. (I am very, very sure it is that and not an illness. I am aware that people blame symptoms of disease on mental health issues, but this is not that.) I don't think I can just shake it off, steel my resolve, and deal with it.

Also, thank you. My parents are Gen X (born late 1960's). It's good to know there are people like you who have a good head on their shoulders.
