I’m outside. I need a push to go in....

Today is the day. I’m back at work.

My son has been at nursery for 3 weeks and today I’m back in the office.

I’m currently sat in the car park and my heart has not stopped pounding.

It just all looks so normal. I’ve seen a few of my colleagues walk by and everyone just looks the same, happy.

I don’t know what it’s like in the office in terms of Covid, I have a meeting as soon as I go in to discuss the changes.

I don’t think I have ever felt so nervous.

I’m 19 days post my 1st vaccine so not even at the 21 day mark.

I feel like turning around and going home! 😩

She did talk about the risk re. nursery on one of a number of previous threads.

Ffs. Just quit.

Believe me I have considered it.

But although the tests will show when someone has it, it can’t prevent it and you’ve been vaccinated your child hasn’t so it just stood out to me that you hadn’t mentioned being worried about nursery when in all likelihood the staff there will work with multiple children through the week but your issues just seem to be with work specifically. It just came across with your previous posts as well that you’re trying to find a way to get your work to allow you to WFH.

Can you just wear a mask all day? Would that make you feel better?

Does your husband work out of the home?

@Nicknacky

He does a mixture. Mostly from home.

I don’t want to just wfh.

I’ve actually found it good for me to be around people, chatting etc.

I’m just really really anxious about catching Covid and being really ill.

So he works out of the house and your child goes to nursery. You must see that your anxiety is blowing this out of proportion?

You don’t know you would be really ill, most people aren’t.

And life is full of risks if you look closely enough, but we don’t worry about those as we haven’t been fed for a year about them.

I read your previous threads and was supportive, but I really don't think this can be helpful for you. Your anxiety is making you post on MN which has a vocal minority of extremely anxious posters, looking for other anxious posters to feed off. You said yourself - 1 person caught covid in over a year. Even when nobody wore masks, even when nobody was vaccinated, even when cases were 60,000 higher per day. Yet you think you'll be the one to die dramatically even after the vaccine, making you perhaps the first ever vaccinated under 50 to die? Another thread won't help you.

You're not vulnerable............

I'm fat, 40 & asthmatic and covid for me was a sore throat and the need to sleep for a few days.

Nothing anyone can say here will make you feel better. You want validation for your fears, generated by anxiety & your own misunderstanding of the risks. You wont get that because your fears are nonsense.

@BeakyWinder Absolutely agree.
