Rob, try to stay strong not just for yourself but for your family as well. Worry (beyond the precautionary kind) can sap you of much-needed strength of mind and will.0

Definition of anxiety = Fear of things that are not real. Unable to shut off the response to imagined threats.
Up until a few weeks ago, you were steadily working on your ability to see the difference between a real and imagined threat. Keep retraining your brain. See this as an opportunity to practice what your thinking brain (not your feeling brain) knows to be true. Change your thoughts.
It is normal to be cautious about your son and mom. Keep telling yourself that with normal precautions, your family will be okay. Focus on one breath at a time. Stay in each moment of time. No forecasting. No historicizing. Just now. Everyone is alive. Everyone is well.

Hey everyone
Just don't want anyone to worry just need to take a break from this board. I cannot help but click on Coronvirus threads no matter how hard I try and it is more or less end times in that thread.
So I have to take my own advice and just take a step back , not check news other than 30 mins to keep me up to date on things going on that day so I am informed , however going online to news sites or this website and having to hear every time a new case pops up is creating too much anxiety for me.
Don't worry I am all good but again for my own health just taking a step away.
Be well , take care of yourselfs

The only thing I worry about is if it impacts my university studies.

What about your parents. Fear for family of an older age and my son with asthma. This won't just go away.

Stepping back is a great idea Matts. Good for you.I keep saying the same thing but doing the opposite. I stay up late and read the end-of-the-world (I know, it isn't) virus news, then go to bed and have bad dreams, then get up and do it all over again. Definition of crazy? Yeah, that's the one! But it's hard not to. Age plus not great immune system. I feel like a target. I should just be glad I've had 68 plus and make the best of each day. I'll try again tomorrow.Thanks, Matts, for reminding me I should step back."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Lol
Well of course when I got the 10C email saying tour is postponed I had to log on just too see if people were melting down ( I love that some are still calling this the flu )
I have felt a little better though , cutting most media out ( not saying media is hyping it up ) however if I only watch 30 mins of news a day and it is covering the whole day it is much easier to digest than keeping up with it all day.
I think it of course will get worse before it gets better but steps like postponed shows , cleaning hands , if you feel the anxiety stay away from large crowds.
Still going to go out and live life just a little more careful , also think of when the flu was first discovered people must have been losing it , I think the unknow is not helping this issue at all. We are creatures that like to have answers ( especially with anxiety ) and not having sold answers right now is leading to people believing anything they read , all of a sound those on any message board is comment section is a doctor it seems right now or a specialist.
Stick to CDC , stick to news but not that much , deep breaths. Welcome back everyone , such a long hiatus for me.

I haven't heard anything about racism connected to this. Have there been many?
Pretty "sunshine" there, Fifth! My mom came by earlier and brought me some gorgeous deep orange and pink roses. Gotta keep the kitties away from them though...that stuff's worse than catnip for them0
