Feeling anxious going out after 10 days isolation..

[Meltinthemiddle]

Did anyone else feel this way? Been wanting to go out, testing like mad since day 5 and now I'm finally free day 10 I feel anxious about going out and especially about going back to work tomorrow. The weather is truly shit so the dog won't even go for a walk with me for Dutch courage as it's blowing a gale outside. My anxiety about work tomorrow is really making me feel awful as really full on. Normal for a Sunday but made worse I think as feel a bit of a fraud having so much time off for covid even though there was nothing I could do 😖. Typically I've also now developed a cough day 10?! What's that's all about 🙄

I developed a cough on day 10! It didn’t last long though thankfully.

Are you usually this anxious about work? What are you feeling anxious about? It’s only been 10 days, nothing has changed since you got covid 🤷🏼‍♀️ If work makes you feel this horrible, deffo time to find a new job! Everyone gets the dread on a Sunday but it shouldn’t take over your life. I left a job that started making me feel like this, it wasn’t worth making myself miserable over. I now don’t really think about work until Monday morning as it’s fine. A bit boring but fine.

You’ll be fine tomorrow OP. Enjoy your freedom!

I did feel a bit weird going to see people on day 12, and felt horrendously guilty seeing family and being in very close contact on day 16. We've had it drilled into us for so long that this virus kills and we could unwittingly pass it on. I also developed a cough very late on, and breathlessness. It was five days in before I got a fever, so out of the "main" symptoms, I could have already passed it on before I got them.
