I honestly don't know how I'm going to cope

[MozzchopsThirty]

Starting work in ITU next week after leaving 8 years ago

My dcs are going to live with their dad until this is over 😢
I won't see my lovely boyfriend until this is over

I honestly don't know how I'm going to do this

Saying goodbye to the most important people in my life
Risking my own life when all I want to do is stay in

Sorry just not coping well tonight 😢😢😢

I don't really know what to say but I couldnt read and run. I'm sure those with advice will be along shortly.

You are protecting those closest to you and whilst it'll be gard not to see them, they will be safer.

Oh OP

Don't know what to say but sending the love anyway. Society has suddenly found out who are the important people in our world and that's you. Hopefully, we can rebuild a world fit for heroes once we get through this. Try and keep safe and if you don't have the equipment to do that consider walking.

Thank you Mozzchops

I hope this doesn't sound trite, but thank you.

Courage is not feeling no fear, it is feeling fear but continuing anyway.

I should imagine all who love you and all those you work with are coping with similar feelings. You are not alone.

Please don't say thank you 😢 I haven't done anything yet and not sure how long I'll last

Been through so many emotions in the last week from 'no I'm not going' to 'I'll take 6m sick' to it can do this'

Now a mess again

Thank you for the support though, trying to be all tough with the dcs and boyfriend

Thank you for what you are doing for all of us, not really sure what else to say.

Massive kudos for doing what you know is a good and selfless deed. Words can't express the gratitude we have for people like you. 🌷💐

You're doing an amazing thing @m

Mozz I’ve seen you post here for years and you’re one of those posters I genuinely like so please take this as it’s intended.

You don’t have to do this. If it’s too much it’s ok.

You need to look after yourself first 💐

Ah. Sorry hit post but thank you so much.

You are incredibly brave.

Do you have to do it? I don’t know the circumstances but is there any way out for you?

I’m so sad for your situation

make sure you keep in contact as much as you can with loved ones and remind yourself that you’ll be with them soon

Stay safe

I want to say thank you, my ds has had what we think is the virus and it has been very worrying, but knowing there are people like you helping us is a comfort.

Wow, that's amazing. I know I couldn't do it, you have my admiration.

I dont have any experience to share but wanted to add my thanks. Look, even if you do one day, it's one day more than most people. I've heard the camaraderie and team spirit is really good and hopefully building a network of good colleagues who are already doing it will help jolly you along.

I am proud of you @MozzchopsThirty - and others who have also made this decision for the benefit of others and society - I’m channeling all my strength to you for the coming weeks.

One day at a time.

Why are you going back - have you been redeployed back there?

I don't have anything useful to advise just don't want to read and run.
Sorry for how you are feeling I couldn't imagine being as courageous and as strong as you are right now.. you are a hero in my eyes
I hope everything goes OK (shit word I know, minds blank can't think of any other sorry)
Thank you x

OP you are brave and everyone is thankful.

I know it sounds cringey but we all need a bit of cringe in our lives

That is going to be so hard, being apart from your DC. I think the worry of it is probably worse than the actual doing it. Once you’re into your new routine you’ll be so focused on doing what you’re doing that you’ll have less time to worry. Good luck.

Thank you for what you’re doing. It must be so hard but you’re doing an amazing thing.

I have been redeployed
I initially was taken off the list for health reasons but was then offered another redeployment which I felt put me at greater risk (minimal PPE, unknown area)

At least in ITU I will know the basics and can help out by just knowing where the linen cupboard is and little things like that

Being brave and courageous won't mean shit if my dcs don't have a mum 😢
I would like to go to sleep and wake up in 3 months

I second what RJ said above.
You don't have to do this mozz. I admire tremendously the people who are doing this for us, but for everyone who just can't, I don't blame you one little bit. I couldn't do it. And I'm not ashamed to say that.
Please make the right choice for you and your family first.
