People are making me feel crazy about fearing Covid. I heard a therapist go “I don’t want to say Covid is OVER…” (but)

    SAME.

    Wore a mask to the shrink. “Are you afraid of COVID?” YES. “Are you afraid COVID is going to kill you?” YES. THESE ARE RATIONAL FEARS. I KNOW WHAT MY ANXIETY FEELS LIKE DAMMIT

    Call doctor because my partner got COVID. “Oh you’re young, COVID can’t harm young people”. NOTE: I AM VERY NOT YOUNG. I am old enough to have multiple kids with bachelors degrees.

    Why?

            She starts going off about how the virus is whatever ever microns and im just like your wrong masks are the only thing that works. I was so shocked i completely forgot to mention how the virus commonly attaches to respiratory droplets, or the concept of viral load. She took my eye pressure reading as i was glaring at her and it was the highest reading id ever gotten. I cancelled my follow-up at reception and got out of there.
