my mom just tested positive for covid *internal anxious screaming*
the good news is that she's been wearing a KN95 mask ever since her partner tested positive on thursday (and he's been staying at his kid's house since ours is too small to really quarantine in), washing her hands + wiping down stuff she touches, and keeping away from us as much as possible. we've also had the air purifiers running full blast this whole time + keeping windows open as much as possible
the last time I took a test was friday and it was negative. I'll test again tomorrow/tuesday (unless I'm feeling too anxious, in which case I'll test again today & tuesday)
#it really doesn't help that a lot of my usual chronic illness symptoms are the same as covid symptoms [fatigue; headaches; etc] same with#some of the ways my anxiety shows up [chest tightness [which can lead to an occasional cough]; etc] so it's hard to tell if something's up#I guess I'll also test again on friday to make sure my mom didn't infect me#the issue is that she can't fully quarantine 1 bc our house is too small but also 2 bc my sister and I are disabled/chronically ill and#she's our caretaker#not to mention we only have 1 bathroom that I can use [there's a half bath in the basement but stairs are hard for me]. good news is that#there's an exhaust fan but I'm going to be wearing a mask in there anyways.#of course this comes JUST as I started to become less anxious that I could get covid :'(#my chest feels tight and I can't tell if it's all from anxiety or from breathing weirdly with my mask on earlier because I could feel air#escaping through the top ergo it could come in so I was like half breathing half holding my breath which my lungs weren't happy about#or if it's that I've been infected#I know some of it is anxiety [duh] but is that all it is?? I used my inhaler and it didn't get better so maybe that's it??? hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
