so, I'm like alot of folks out here in the world, struggling with how COVID has impacted my life. I'm high risk vaxed and boosted. I'm not 50, but I am compromised...my dad's 75. he got covid less than two weeks after he got his booster. He's ok. mild/moderate case.
What I'm struggling with is this, I live in a deep red state full of deniers, surrounded by deniers. I wear my mask when out, and I have to go out; I help my dad with his stuff on the weekends....I'm honestly terrified at this point that I'll be exposed and be one of those that's not so lucky.
some days, especially here lately, that fear is almost overwhelming...I've survivied two life threatening illness since 2014....I'll be PISSED if COVID takes me out.
I want to thank everyone that's replying to this thread. it truly does mean a lot to know there are folks out there that care and don't dismiss what I'm saying
@Zoser its not fun, that's for sure.
I would really like to see less selfishness and more compassion from folks that live in a state that that literally has a church on almost every block in its capitol city.
@Eclecticmezzo I am a believer myself and it saddens me that so many do not live what they profess are their beliefs.
I believe that compassion, tolerance, support and care for your fellow human beings are so much more important than performative statements of faith.
@Eclecticmezzo This has to be rough, all the very best wishes for you and yours. Hopefully sanity will return over time.
