Also, I wish everybody with children too young to be vaccinated could be exempt from having to deal with this. This situation is just not even right.0

If your mum is vaccinated and willing to go, I would pull that emergency ripcord. This is one of those situations that's high pressure for you and you want it to go as smoothly as possible for your daughter.0 -

Im not sure. I've stayed in bed before and taken valium but its pointless. I tend to freeze to the spot. I just dont know how to keep going anymore.

That's what usually helps me. Staying in bed. I just let myself be as miserable as I want to be, until the storm passes. Sometimes that's the only thing that helps. I look at it like my brain is rebooting.0

One think you could do and this is really just for piece of mind. The at home testing antigen tests you can get at CVS for like 22 dollars ( comes with two ). Yes it is not as good as going to get an test that goes out but says it is 95% accurate.Being fully vaxed but having anxiety , I woke up Sunday assume I had Covid , I knew I most likely did not , took a test , 15 mins later says I am negative and my anti anxiety pill kicked in and I had a wonderful Sunday just hanging out with my wife.
Again this is more for piece of mind when I know I am freaking myself out , if I had an actual fever with symptoms I would of course get a test done that gets mailed out.
So 11 dollars to take a panic attack away and to make me have a good Sunday is worth the price at least for me.

Rob:Sorry your having such a tough time , I wish I had the right words to say to make everything better but we are all hear to listen and try to give advice.
I know it feels like forever since you have felt well but try to remember those good times you do have and keep those in your heart.
It sound like with your moms help or older daughters could be useful.
Also I agree with the above statement that parents with kids that cannot be vaccinated right now should somehow be exempt from this shit show.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Its going to be ok friend.

Those home tests are free here but they are only for no symptoms. If you have any symptoms pcr is the only test that works.
Thanks guys took a pill slept back to square one. Im convinced i have cancer . Cant not think it despite being checked my symptoms remain as bad 3 weeks on.

RobI can almost certainly say you don't have cancer , that said when my brain goes there , you could not tell me otherwise. I hope something can help you thru this. What symptoms are you currently showing for the past three weeks that are making you think you do have it?
Here in the US the test I get is meant for showing or not showing symptoms Covid , again though for me its more just to take the edge off if I am having a panic attack. I know I don't have Coivd but I need more than just my thought to show me. Even if it cost 11 dollars the sight of a negative test takes me back down. I more or less can go full panic by waking up with a stuffy nose even though I have central air running all night and a fan blowing on me so that would be the actual cause of stuffy nose.
Of course if I had actual symptoms and was sick I would get an actual test.

Monday she is excited. One of my other daughters started college today (she doesnt live with us) . I have another daughter starting uni end of sept. Double vaxxed. But step son who lives here starts school friday. He is not at all up for it and is 14 and against the world. In fact the hardest kid to be around. And he isn't mine so im like a corpse to him. He will bring covid here for sure

I had a breakdown / breakthru last night. For months I have been up and down and just cant figure out what it is that is making it like this. I have been blaming so many other things and I nailed it down.
I am afraid I am going to kill my mom.
Let me rephrase , I am terrified I am going to get a breakthru case of Covid and then give it to my mom and kill her.
I don't see her that often because of how scared I am.
Even vaccinated and using a mask I don't think "am I going to get a breakthru case ?" but " When am I going to get a breakthru case ?"
Its such an awful way to think and live. I cried for a while with my wife. I took next week off of work for vacation and am seeing my therapist for the first time in a while.
Eat well , get sleep , and address this concern.
My wife lost her father four days before Christmas 2011 and would give anything to have 10 mins with him , yet I am avoiding my mother out of a fear that really is someone understandable but in the end is not that much to worry about. We are all vaccinated , we don't go out to restaurant's or events , wear masks when grocery shopping.
Going to see my mom tomorrow and hug the shit out of her.
Rob I only included you in this because , I care about you and I wonder if you are feeling the same way. I know you are vaccinated , obviously our 14 year old cannot but I assume is taking proper precautions.
I know you have issues with your doctors but maybe an online group you can fine for those dealing with these feelings ( I am going to look for one ) its just something I am sure deep down I knew all along but have been avoiding confronting this fear.
