@70isaLimitNotaTarget Smile request for cat picture please

I’m stressed about my DParents vulnerable to Covid19. Just tonight it’s messing with my MH.

I’m worried about work. I don’t think we will be able to work from home so very worried about the future.

Itsmybirthdaytoday20 · 14/03/2020 00:45

Our heating seems to have stopped working tonight - so I’m worried about that. I don’t know if I can call the man who fitted it at a weekend.

Grin Icare I'll get a photo set up (I dare say these lazy mammals will still be on their chairs at least 80% of the day )

They do pre-warn you that black cats don't photograph well -at the moment they just look like jet black croissants , noses tucked under the wrap around tails .

Such a tough life eh? Wink

Debts, bailiffs, insecurity within relationship, mental health, anxiety through the roof right now.

SD1978 · 14/03/2020 03:43

The hysteria around the current health issue and the media scaremongering and how it's making it worse. Having to work in front line health care and dealing with people who aren't interested in education because they know better. How the flip I'm supposed to work if they close down schools.

Coronavirus and what it will mean for my father who is not in the best of health.
Price of oil and if the recent crash will mean I lose my job. Been on this roller coaster ride since the crash in 2015.. Really need to find a job in another industry.

heidbuttsupper · 14/03/2020 05:00

2 holidays in the next 3 weeks that I really hope I get my money back for
Hoping my mums 60th goes ahead and being able to organise it remotley
A mistake I may have made at work that I need to look into on Tuesday, no idea how I'll fix it Confused
Way behind with my day to day work. I just can't seem to get anything done
Waiting for interview feedback from a job I didn't get although I thought I had done well. Feel embarrassed I didn't get it and scared of what they might say in feedback
Also, my 'usual' thoughts, missing my husband, my old life, how did I get here.

Know one has any idea I feel like this

Riv12345 · 14/03/2020 05:06

Really getting concerned about the coronavirus!
I work in an NHS hospital have been told it's going to hit us hard, wards ready and special pods set up.

feelingverylazytoday · 14/03/2020 05:13

Coronavirus, and what will happen to my daughter if I get seriously ill or die. She is severely autistic and learning disabled and I am her only carer. Even if I miraculously remain healthy just not being able to maintain her usual routine will be massively stressful. My life is already stressful enough without this added strain. I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few months but I know I have to.

grannyshark · 14/03/2020 06:15

That I have had had my mum die this year and I can't think I will cope if dad dies too. He's high risk of it if he gets sick.

surlycurly · 14/03/2020 06:38

Money. My ex husband ran off and won't give me his forwarding address although I know he's abroad. He's stopped paying maintenance with 3 days notice. I'm broke. My small business will also go down the toilet with the corona virus as it's more luxury items, not necessities. I'm screwed. The anger and hurt at him running off and leaving me with them is horrible too. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to cope with their rejection. Also my ASD daughter is a mess as a result of her dad and the uncertainty about her exams. I am in education as well and I find the fact they haven't closed the schools beyond anxiety inducing. The kids at mine are all hysterical about the virus anyway. They can barely focus. I just wish it would be resolved either way as the uncertainty is killing me. My mental health is so bad I've had thoughts I've never had before.

JigsawsAreInPieces · 14/03/2020 07:08

Results of 2 biopsies that I had done on lumps in my breast yesterday. Husband keeps on about self-isolating and talking about prepping/stockpiling essentials and I just don't need that right now as I've got until Thursday before I hear.

Beautyoftheirdreams · 14/03/2020 07:09

How I would manage financially if I had to take prolonged SSP

thefemalelemur · 14/03/2020 07:45

I'm worried that my social butterfly DM will ignore warning about coronavirus. She's just finished a round of chemo and I've told her to self isolate but I expect after a week of being stuck at home she will get bored and start going out. If she catches it it could literally finish her off.

LadyPlasters · 14/03/2020 08:04

I have to do a presentation today at 10am on my personal experience of mental health... I am training to be a counsellor and this is so much out of my comfort zone. Argh!!!

Riv12345 · 14/03/2020 08:39

All the best for today!!

You will smash it, the thought of doing it is always worse than the actual advent 💐💐

CheekyMango · 14/03/2020 08:47

My career: shit few weeks where I think my manager is out to get shot of me, if it happens and I leave it'll be hard to find another job as the reference will be shit. Prev reference was mostly good but the negative aspect of it combined with any potential future reference, well I'll be fucked and honestly it's not my doing but no future employer will see my side will they.
CVirus: both sets of parents +70 with severe health conditions, they won't see the end of this year I fear... I hope I'm wrong
Mental health: So stressed out I fear my panic disorder might return which is making me more panicked

How I will manage when ds school closes

How we shall manage at work those who become ill and keep ourselves safe (mh until)

vingt · 15/03/2020 08:34

If the shops will have any milk
If I will be shouted at for going out with a cough, as I have allergic rhinitis asthma I nearly always have a cough at this time of year.

YukoandHiro · 15/03/2020 08:43

I am 9 weeks pregnant and have hypermesis but terrified to access any medical support because of coronavirus. They don't know what it does in the first trimester. I'm also high risk on two other counts.
Husband is 50 and has high blood pressure and asthma, my parents are in their 70s. I'm genuinely worried this crisis will leave me a solo parent to my toddler and the unborn

Toria70 · 15/03/2020 08:45

All this hysteria around CV is making me really stressed. We've got 8 staff who depend on DH and I for their livings, and we've already had a massive downturn in trade. We have around 6 weeks of work in hand and then we are screwed. We make high end bespoke items but most work includes visiting clients in their homes which won't happen with mass self isolation.

I am SO angry that the media are being allowed to cause all of this. Sensible precautions mean that the risks are so low to the majority.

And to top it off, DH was recently diagnosed with atrial fibrilliation moments before he was due to have a small hernia repair. He's had 3 appointments cancelled with our GP due to this virus panic, is having chest pains and his heart beat ranges from 50bpm to 95bpm with no obvious cause. I want to scream at the people on here causing even more scaremongering. 111 keep telling us he needs to see our GP - he's fucking trying to, thanks.

YukoandHiro · 15/03/2020 08:54

A&E for that @Toria70

vingt · 15/03/2020 09:38

I'd go to A&E as well.

We have been told that the elderly people's apartments in town are now closed to all visitors and also that they will not accept grocery shopping being left at Reception for residents. WTF are they supposed to do for food? I am ignoring the thing about not going there and will be leaving food at their patio door as I can just put it outside and knock on the door and leave without seeing them. Obviously I will not be setting foot in the building and not seeing my relatives except a wave through the window.

InsaneProbably · 15/03/2020 09:49
  • I've decided today is cleaning day, but ran out of energy on the bathroom already. Everything else still needs doing.
  • Cabin fever, with DH working from home for the foreseeable, and my own usual routines cancelled because of the corona virus.
  • Worried about the virus, too. Especially of older and less well friends and family members. Although I don't want it myself, either, as I do have pre-existing health issues.
  • My stupid mental health, and my next GP appointment.
  • Trying to not stress eat out of anxiety.
  • Amazon has sent me the wrong light bulbs. Now I have to go through the bother of returning them and getting new ones.
millymollymoomoo · 15/03/2020 12:30

Not stressing at all over corona because I think people are overly panicking
We should all be sensible and wash hands and protect those who are vulnerable - easy to do with hand washing and not standing within a few metres. I am however stressed about the economic impact which I think will be far more devastating to people’s lives than the virus is. The world has gone crazy
