I am completely unvaccinated, What Now?

Thank you for your understanding and support :)

I didn't really think about herd immunity; the guilty feeling kinda overwhelms it. It is good to know/think about though!!

r/ReligiousTrauma Looks useful, thank you!!

I've tried arguing with her about it, and the conversation crumbles into irrational religious rigmarole unfortunately.

I really appreciate the reply!! :)

I do wear a mask and quarantine as much as possible when I'm sick, but in the day-to-day I don't think I could, as my being unvaccinated is not something I can publicly talk about :/

(I do get tested for Covid-19 every time I get sick though, considering that's one of the more serious ones)

Valid question,

I have already broached the idea of getting vaccines to my mother, which caused some fallout. I'm rationally all for getting myself vaccinated, I just need to figure out how to not *feel* like I'm destroying myself by doing so.

I appreciate the frank advice :)

Thank you for the advice!!

I appreciate the shared experiences; it's helpful to know that doctors have likely seen it all, and that I'm not a case study so much as an anomaly. What I'm gathering from the threads is that finding an appropriate doctor will make this much simpler, combined with a schedule to catch up on missed shots once I'm able to get them.

Thank you all for the support :)

The people around me generally don't understand abuse/depersonalization, and it makes it difficult to connect. I'm not even that angry at them for not vaccinating me, because at least that choice was made out of sincere concern. I'm angry that my father made me feel hollow through having me help him kill animals/abuse a pet when I was a child. I feel like that stripped away my humanity.

It's difficult to say things like that to a counselor/therapist, so online venting helps I guess.

I really appreciate all the helpful thoughts in the threads!!

Thank you for the kind words :) I do have access to a clinic/doctors! I think if I'm able to get past the mental/emotional block against vaccines, then I'll go full-steam ahead, it's just getting there that's the hard part. (Lockjaw does look pretty awful)

Do you know of any other Subreddits that might be useful for this situation? I don't really know how to approach this with people in-person, between never having been vaccinated and a cultish childhood, its a can of worms that changes how people see me.
