The pandemic in general has added a layer of stress to my life. I'm hyper aware of ppl now and in stores I feel angry / anxious if someone gets too close or doesn't follow check out rules. The isolation and disruption of life is also painful.

Woven Galaxy, I feel the exact same way. I was anxious enough, before, when strangers got in my personal space. NOW, I'm an instant wreck, and have even blurted out some fairly surprising anti-social rebuffs at same strangers. Add to that the fact that they're usually not wearing masks!!!! (although I always do; I don't go out without one.) Don't get me started!....!

The overall economic situation has got me worried, too. I was just getting things together to perhaps run a small online business from home. But will people want to buy? Will they have the spare cash to do it?

The outcome is all so unknowable, right now.

That it might be difficult to sell our house and/or get a good amount of money for it.

As always, I'm anxious about my mentally ill 50 yo son who has been cutting dialysis treatments in half (from 4 hrs. to 2 hrs.)for 4-5 mos. He is slowly declining in appetite and physical energy. I don't want him to endure a slow death, but I can't talk to him about it. He doesn't understand what he is doing to himself. I would be ok with him just stopping dialysis, but again, I can't suggest this.
If anyone has read the book Being Mortal, you realize that its just pointless to maintain an existence that's never going to get any better.
I never know when I'm going to find him dead of a heart attack or stroke. It's extremely painful to have this uncertainty. The social worker I spoke to said it could be weeks, months, or a year before he has to be hospitalized or passes away.

Every home in our neighborhood (town homes) has sold in a matter of days/weeks. At least 4 homes have gotten offers at or above the asking price.

For me it's dealing with a person that is very negative towards me in day program. I am trying very hard to not let it bother me and focusing on why i go to day program. There are so many other people there that I have become friends with. I wish it was easy for me to let go this person.

For me, it's lack of meaningful interactions with friends and people I care about. I fear that I will lose relationships and be out of touch with people for a while. This is really gnawing at me. I didn't realize how much I needed people before all this happened.
