I’ve been suffering from COVID anxiety since March. I was pregnant and self isolated. I became so paranoid about COVID and it’s never really gone away. I gave birth in October and have shielded my baby from most people. We only leave the house to go in the garden or the park or for doctors appointments. I’ve been so careful and it’s worked for me because I’d rather be safe than sorry.
It’s my birthday today and my inconsiderate cousin decided to come to my house, (travelling by 2 buses to get there) in order to give me a present. I’m in London (tier 3 at the time), now tier 4.
He couldn’t just post the present or even leave the present at the door. He decided to enter my property. My anxiety was off the charts, my eyes welled up and I just grabbed
My baby, jumped into the car and drove off. My partner showed him out. Everyone in my family know how paranoid I am and yet he still decided to break the law by coming to my house. He said he doesn’t have the “Lurgey” but I’m sick of people saying that. Just because you don’t have symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t have it.
It’s all I’ve thought about all day. I can’t stop thinking about it and weather myself or my baby or my partner have been infected. How do I stop worrying?
Suffice to say my birthday has been ruined. I’ve been crying most of the day because of the worry (I know that sounds pathetic). Any advice would be greatly appreciate
