I’m in a bit of a panic and aware I’m being unreasonable , I think .
Went out for a walk with DM (we are isolating together) . I’m very, very anxious at the moment due to having a risk factor, but strongly advised by GP/CMHT to go for a distancing walk every day . GP said can’t avoid going out forever, that isn’t possible however much I’d like that and if I follow their guidelines I’m at reduced risk - I haven’t been to a shop in 5 weeks , we don’t handle mail or parcels for 3 days, we disinfect all shopping, etc etc .
Went out for a walk tonight ... neighbour walked past at the same time that we were leaving .
Neighbour and DM had a conversation for a good 5-10 minutes across the street from each other ... and then DM walked over and stood about 4-5 foot from her as they were both looking at something .
I’m being totally stupid to worry aren’t I? I’m obsessive compulsive and autistic (so very literal) and churning this over and over in my mind . They were facing the same way, not coughing or sneezing , I think the risk is low but I’m worried . DM is totally unconcerned and I haven’t even mentioned it to her, but I’m concerned and not sure how best to proceed . Accept it as low risk and move on - and try to distract against the worrying thoughts I’m having?
