Covid anxiety or not…

I’m not one to be terrible anxious of being poorly, however I have never wanted to delibretly mix with someone poorly 🤦🏼‍♀️.
Had covid twice both were awful and left me so poorly (had to carry on have 4 kids with disabilities so not even any rest to look forward too). No family, have a hubby but he ended up in hospital last time with Covid for 3 days..

suppose to be meeting with a friend however they have been mixing with their friends who tests positive for Covid last sat (they also have a few kids).. been helping out which is lovely… friend is poorly but don’t believe in testing which is fine.

However, I have cancelled a play date now when i realised this. I think I have upset them. Normally I would not but it’s my son’s birthday this week and an expensive birthday party.. that I want him to make. Also hubby is over his sickness and been in hospital twice this year once from covid one once with whooping cough.

Am I being over anxious is this anxiety? I feel friend is going to be annoyed, esp as they see Covid as a strong cold and just to get over it.
However I have really struggled and obv last time was awful as hubby in hospital and I had to carry on my own.

Of course you're not being over-anxious. Your husband's experience of covid is very different to your friend's. She needs to accept that.

Thanks, just feel awful and rude cancelling.

You're not rude at all. I think you're being very sensible. And your friend sounds like an idiot.

You're being perfectly reasonable OP.

I'd expect someone to cancel if ill. I think it's rude to deliberately infect others unnecessarily.
