I’m sorry, Ktfran. That really sucks. My sister and close friends are in rural, fairly liberal but still redneck-y VT and nobody wears masks there. Transmission was low but I don’t think it is anymore. It’s crazy we’re coming up on two years of this maskless foolishness.
We are going to my husband’s sister’s for dinner on Friday, maybe. I basically had a panic attack about that and a hundred other things this morning. I don’t want to see his cruel and rude very boozy sister, I’m terrified she’ll say something to me and I’ll lose it.
After I flipped out about that this morning, my husband just texted and told me she’s not even coming to dinner. ? Ugh.
And for some reason, I let my husband go ahead a plan a party for my six year old whose birthday is usually either day/day before of thanksgiving. She’s never really had a birthday party with friends. We went to the movies with 2-3 kids once. But now I feel like a total asshole for agreeing to this and hosting it, (small group that are around each other, same class at school, masked, etc) I still feel like a huge jerk. And if I cancel, I am the ultimate asshole parent to my poor daughter who keeps having every happy thing she wants to do canceled.
I don’t think your anxiety is unwarranted AT ALL but therapy or counseling can really help you manage your anxiety and help you build up skills to cope on your own.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way.
I don’t think it matters if you’re in a same sex relationship. Please stop listening to her insults/negging you and taking it to heart.
No “we” don’t need therapy. YOU need therapy. Otherwise you’re bound to again be manipulated easily by her or someone else. You have a problem with your self esteem.
Jesus, really?
I’m not sure how old you are but she just compared you to a boring movie she’s tired of watching.
If you stay with her, get used to her straying to see some action films or more exciting features pretty often. I think she’s essentially telling you that you suck in bed and you’re lucky to be with her so she’ll stay for the mediocre sex just as long as you know she once said she has to cheat for better sex. So when she cheats she can say, “But we talked about this!”
She doesn’t care how what she does or says hurts you if that was her attempt at soothing your feelings.
You should see a therapist about your low self esteem. That any of this makes you think there’s something worth saving here is really pretty sad.
I got up at 5 by chance but it was cloudy here.
My kids are vaccinated! Well, at least the first dose. The relief I thought I’d feel when I was came when they got their shots. I feel so much safer. I guess even if I knew the chances were remote, the tiny threat of my kids being on a ventilator or worse (or the unknowns) was really impacting me. That they are a little safer is a huge weight lifted. Rejoice.
My husband and I both got our Moderna boosters through CVS with no preexisting conditions, bmi over 25 or any other issues.
Sorry about your friend, BGM. There’s been so much loss the last two years and I’ll agree that it’s often the most bright and vivid sparks that go. The real assholes and Tucker Carlsons of this world will outlive us all.
Thanks, guys. I am pretty worried about my liver right now but I’ll know more soon. Last week was a lot of lab tests and ultrasounds and waiting for results. This week feels much better in comparison.
I’m sure there are, it’s just interesting to think about all the things we still don’t know.
I keep wondering also about the millions (probably?) that have had Covid and not had any symptoms. Have we all mostly had it by now? It’s interesting/terrifying to think about as we get closer to the two year anniversary.
BTW: a few posts above I meant our school didn’t contact me when my son’s cubby mate and bus seat mate (same kid) tested positive.
I know, I was just putting that out there for the people who still think their kid can get it, be mildly sick and then go on their merry way.
