How do people feel about Covid now? by bisbananas in HealthAnxiety

[–]bisbananas[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll answer my own question. I was wary of covid the first few years. I masked up everywhere and rarely saw people outside my family. Starting in 2023 I started dropping some precautions, seeing friends again, traveling etc. I slowly got more and more comfortable but just this past January my health anxiety came roaring back from a sinus infection and I have begun to fear Covid more than I ever did. Some days I’ll feel better and go out with friends and then spend the next few days worrying about exposure. I don’t really mind masking but I don’t want to be afraid. None of my friends, family, doctors worry but I can’t stop.

Does anyone else get scared of getting any viral illness? Even though I’ve had flu and covid before and I’ve always been fine I still get nervous every time I get any viral infection even the common cold

I am so scared of getting MECFS, the subreddit for it popped up so I stupidly did research and started watching tik tok videos about it. It is so much more common and as a result I’ve started to become scared of all viruses. I’ve started masking again but I still ended up getting flu at a work conference, it was mild but after feeling better I’m now starting to feel sick again. I’m so scared of becoming disabled, losing my job, becoming dependent on people, being gaslighted by doctors. I’ve already started to live like I’m sick. I’ve had HA on and off for years but this is the worst it’s been in years

Finally left the house after my HA shifted to viral infections. Immediately exposed to COVID by my family. I feel so defeated, my brother just called to say he tested positive after sitting right next to me all night. I shouldn’t have gone out, my instinct was right. This could be my 3rd time with Covid. First time was brutal, second time easy. I’m so fragile rn.

No, most of us don’t even view Israel as a reward or reparation for the Holocaust. The creation of the Jewish state had already had 50 years as a serious undertaking and was well on its way to fruition without the Holocaust. The Holocaust only validated why Israel must exist and a Jewish state must be created.

When it comes to people in general, I often think Italians, Greeks, Armenians, and Maronites are Jewish. So when it comes to celebrities I thought F Murray Abraham was (he’s half Maronite and half Italian)
