CRHT and covid

[ChristmasSomething]

Since last week I’m having almost daily visits. For those that don’t know, this involves 2 health professionals.
I’m not complaining about the contact as I know I’m lucky to have access but it’s bothering me about the added Covid risk.
What do you think?
I’m purposely not sitting on the seats they sit in we all have to wear masks.
It’s all so weird. Obviously struggling anyway hence the crisis team.

I’m really torn about having them there. On one hand I know I need them atm but on the other I feel nervous about the extra risk.

They're probably very covid safe. In my trust we now test ourselves 2x week and everyone I know is very responsible. It's hard not to be scared but Im sure they're as a safe as possible. You could maybe talk to them about feeling worried about it?

Hope things feel better for you soon

That’s a good point, I’m sure they must get tested. I will ask them. Thank you.
I’m also finding it hard not seeing their faces properly, I struggle to wear a mask for very long too. Obviously I know both these things are needed for now along with them.
I do know I’m lucky to have access but hating it all too.

It's really hard isn't it. I work in mental health and I miss just being with people without all the covid protection but we know we need to right now. Just know that when I'm working even if you can't see my face, I still genuinely care underneath it.

Best Wishes OP

It really is. It adds to feeling so disconnected.
Thank you, it’s a good reminder that you care about those you work with. I’m not sure anyone cares about me anymore.

I know I don't know you, and I know this isn't enough right now. But I've been thinking of you and hoping things get better for you.

That actually really means a lot. Thank you.
They’ve just left, they said they have weekly testing and are trying to limit how long visits are to under 20 minutes where possible.
That all said, they were here nearly an hour and it felt like 1 of them was trying to guilt trip me for what I’d done and having children. Like I don’t have enough guilt and shame myself.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sorry it's such hard times for you, I really do hope things start to get lighter for you,
