That is my diagnosis . And i can say that living in isolation in a pandemic is the ultimate scenario for suffers there is no higher level. I have had some of my darkest thoughts last 2 days. I have no words anymore. I couldnt get the link to work but this mental illness has robbed me of 15 years where i have been living like im in a pandemic and now we are.

I will read that but right now I have to go wash my hands again.
Man, isn't it the truth though. I look back on my little OCD things like, "Remember, Brian, turn off each burner on the stove before you leave home (even though I know damn well they are all off)". Stuff like that seems funny to me now.
And the anxiety. Oh man, I wish I could just go back to the pre-COVID variety. At least I knew then that half of it was in my head, not on a damn door knob.
I think I will be alright on the days my wife agrees to stay home and hide with me. The other days are a drag. Tomorrow will suck- she has to work and I need to get a few more food items at the store. Monday will be a relief. COME ON Monday!
Hope you're all doing as well as possible. We're all in this together.

It's great that we have a clinical psychologist contributing in this thread
This is "A Safe Place for Anxiety Sufferers to Share." I'm not going to be baited into an argument with you and blow up the thread. I am going to respond once, however, and then put you on ignore so I can continue to be part of this thread without being poked by you every time I comment. Here is the FULL text of the PM you sent me that apparently you are still angry about:
I'd like to apologise and also say thank you for your honesty. I hope you read this and reply but if not, I understand. May I ask what you've been diagnosed with? And what childhood trauma? Maybe we have similar stories. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I did not reply. Clearly you do not understand. So let me make it clear in the honest way I have of communicating: I am not obligated to have private conversations with strangers about deeply personal subjects. I have shared details of my diagnosis here in this thread when appropriate to the conversation, in ways that I think could be helpful to others. The details of my childhood trauma are really none of your business -- but from it I have learned to trust my gut instincts and to not feel shamed or manipulated into doing things I don't want to do.
If you are upset because I never acknowledged your apology, then here it is publicly: I accept your apology. I'm not sure why you even felt the need to apologize. I offered some suggestions to some problems you were having, as did a number of people here. I made some observations about your self-reported behaviors and asked a question that I thought could be helpful to your treatment. You, as you have the right to do, rejected all the suggestions, observations, and the question. I was neither offended nor harmed by that. But if you need forgiveness for something you perceived to be offensive on your part, then I offer it to you. I hope you find your closure and move on. I am sorry that my conversation with you hit such a soft spot.
To everyone else: I am really, really sorry for going here in this thread. I was trying to be strong and let TA have his passive-aggressive moments but I'm not one to let attacks on my character go unanswered. I just couldn't today. It won't happen again from me. I promise -- if I can help it -- this thread will not turn into a shit-storm between me and TA. Be well, everyone. We all deserve peace and calm in our lives right now. Do what you have to do to find it.
The world has come undone. People including me are losing whats left of their minds.
Deep breaths, Rob. Take one day at a time. I know it’s hard to only see the bad news but look at how people come together to cope. Days like these bring out the worst in some people, yes. But also the best.
We are semi ill in isolation . Not knowing if its that or not. So much of it in my actual village. Thanks for the kind words keep you posted.!
IF it’s Corona and it’s mild then all the better. It may well be a common cold. In any case take care of yourselves and fingers crossed it‘ll pass soon

I concur, very well said. We’re all here to share as much of our stories as we need or want to. To provide support and encouragement if we’re able. Sending love and light to all.

Right now, it seems to me M, that you’re the one making this an unsafe space for another board member. Your passive-aggressive tone and demands to be answered are full of hostility. WD owe you anything, none of us do. We share if we feel it might help. We see similarities in ourselves and struggles. Take from our advice or not. Be well M. We do want the best for you. We want the best for all of us.

And what What Diagnosis posted is fine? First with making me feel uncomfortable (unsafe to share) here by diagnosing me without any qualifications. Then to post my PM on public.

Whatever your "diagnosis" is, Thoughts, it's cool. We're all at least a little bit damaged- I know I sure as hell am. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I support you, him/her, I support everybody I can, to whatever degree I can. Hope we could all do that. Maybe just ignore the stuff that rubs you the wrong way. Not worth the time or emotional expense for either party.
Just my 2 cent. Hope you're doing OK.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Stop it, M. So you wanna get WD banned to feel better about yourself? Wow that’s petty! There’s nothing all that personal in that shared pm so give it a rest. A lot of us in this thread have assumed things and tried to be a psychologist. Why? Because we tried to help. Sometimes that results in hurt feelings or egos. Maybe ask yourself why you are so mad about the comments. Maybe you find they have a hint of truth and you don’t like it. Maybe ask yourself why you’re not taking any of the advice that’s given to you here. Maybe you’re mad at yourself. so stop being a bully and concentrate on getting yourself better
It is strictly against forum rules to share PMs on threads. All I ask is that it be removed, not for WD to be banned. She/he did not assume, he/she diagnosed. Yeah, like I believe I have a narcissistic PD, do you even know what that looks like?

Ok . Please do not get my thread shut down . I and others need this more than ever. If anyone cannot respect each other. Please respect me. I dont have any strength for fights. Wrong is wrong and we need to move past this now. Everyone has had their say and its not helping any of us in these times of extreme and i mean extreme fear. When the past is the present and the futures no more. The numbers keep falling off the calenders floor.
