My dad has Covid again, and I have a feeling that my mom and I probably do too since we all live in the same house, his symptoms started Friday but he didn’t test until like 10 minutes ago and has just been sitting in our living room unquarantined from us, so I feel like I should just go ahead and call into work
#which is fucking annoying because first thing yesterday morning when I saw him and he sounded HORRIBLE & then started with this awful cough#i told him to test and he made dumb excuses about it even though we had a spare rapid test#so now I’ve probably got it which means I have to call out of work this week which sucks for my paycheck#but also sucks for my job because we have legitimately 3 people that open regularly (including me) and one of the others is on vacation like#out of the country all week#so they’re kinda fucked#but I’m feeling congested#my mom kept saying ‘it could just be a cold your dad gets a cough when he has a cold’ but not like this! this cough sounds the same as the#last time he had Covid!! which I said it then too that it was a Covid cough and not his normal one#so yeah but at least if I’ve got it I’ll have nothing but time this week to finish up the Haechan fic and read some books

lesson learned this week: if your teenage niece asks to throw a party at your house, say no because you might end up feeling trapped in your bedroom due to not wanting to encounter a group of teens in your own home so now you’re thirsty, and being thirsty triggers anxiety and anxiety triggers nausea and nausea triggers more anxiety which triggers stomach cramps which triggers more anxiety which triggers more nausea and i’m still thirsty on top of that. i am fighting for my life in here 😭😭 i think i could start crying i’m having so much anxiety 😭😭
#i am so tired of the cycle of anxiety 😭😭😭 like bro my body is TIRED#it’s tired of being in an anxious state and hurting and feeling nauseous and throwing up and i am constantly dying#i’m also wearing makeup and i need to take it off but i can’t bc that requires going to the bathroom!#and going to the bathroom means encountering people!#i need a xanax#maybe 2 or 3 actually#i also need a hair tie my hair is starting to drive me crazy#i’m getting a headache#i’m also congested bc my allergies are bothering me#i’m also shaking i cannot with this rn#i am overstimulated#and i have to pee#we are just not doing well team 😭😭#strawberrybyers text post

the attempt to fix my scoliosis has brought relief where it’s needed, but also brought a different kind of pain in areas i’ve never felt before. but i can accept that because my body is literally being bent into shape. somebody’s grabbed my spine and is twisting it back to where it should be. and the spine is fighting back like a rabid dog. and the surrounding muscles are screaming and crying and biting because they wanna go back home.
#oh god every time i blow my nose i can feel it in my right shoulder blade#which sucks because i have congestion issues so i’m blowing my nose often

local man who grew up getting sick every 2 seconds: masks for years and doesn’t see anyone, does not get sick once
local man begins to spend time with family members unmasked, including many small children: gets sick within 1 week
#i’m killing everything#i never want to see another person again#This is why we mask folks#i’m not feeling that bad rn i’ve just been congested and runny nose and scratchy throat for like 2 days#and i’ve been hearing my aunt sneezing All morning and she just said that she feels like she’s fighting something off#time to pick up zinc and vitamin c ig. i already take a gummy multi but those 2 are only like 50% dv#anyway i’m killing myself 👍

ya girl has covid (most likely)
#I saw most likely because I took an expired test and it was negative#but my mom has Covid and I was around her and got sick right after her#I’m fine#I only really feel bad when I start running fever which has been happening on and off since yesterday#I just take an Advil and a nap and wake up all sweaty#I’m just spending my time off reading PGSM in front of a space heater and exiting on tea and honey#it’s been four days and today is the only day I felt congested#but my throat has been scratchy since the day after Christmas#and it’s straight up raw today#honestly minus the fever sinus infections are worse than this#my mom has it a lot worse and has like fatigue and everything#I’m just not going get actually diagnosed because I’m 99% sure it’s Covid and I don’t really feel bad#so I’ll just quarantine like it’s Covid unless it ends up lasting much longer then I’ll go get it checked

i know my brain needs time to recharge after writing so much yesterday but i’m so bored
#i wanna write but i can’t and i shouldn’t and i won’t bc my congested brain is so exhausted but damn#i also feel so bad bc it’s kinda my roomie’s last week here and we should be Doing Things but instead i’m cooped up in my room 😭😷#and also we wanted to have a party on saturday. like a going away party for her. but since my dumb ass caught the ronsky the party#probably ain’t happening. and the thing is she deserves the parties. she deserves the attention and the bangs and the hugs and good times#because she’s not been getting those much this year or the last. and she’ll be so sad about it. she won’t say it but i know she’ll be#anyway :( i kinda feel guilty for having covid again now

i have said before i have really bad hypochondria anyway i was doing better on my meds but recently i was really badly triggered bc my lymph nodes r swollen & one of them is like more swollen than the others & now i have white spots on my tonsils which indicates a throat infection not really a terminal illness but having a lump on my throat has been like my biggest hypochondria fear for 10 yrs or so so having a lump on my neck has really just like sent me & anyway i usually do not share my hypochondria fears bc ik they’re irrational but as i said this is like 100x more upsetting to me than usual bc it is my exact hypochondria fear so i had a breakdown & started crying to my mom so she made me get a doctor’s appt all this to say that i also have severe avoidance issues so before i could just pretend the bump wasn’t there & distract myself but now that i know i have a doctor’s appt it is much worse & i can’t stop thinking abt it 😔 thats my story. plagued in many ways.
#michelle speaks#like i don’t have any like congestion or a sore throat. even tho like i CLEARLY have an infection in my throat#bc my tonsils have so many white dots on them 😭 idk when that happened tho. i noticed my lymph nodes were swollen like 4 days ago or smth#but like normally my hypochondria is just me checking to make sure i don’t have symptoms like a lump & feeling better when i dont#so like having one there has put me in like a constant state of anxiety it has been so bad.#i never EVER go to the dr over my hypochondria fears bc 1. i know they’re just fears and 2. avoidance issues#but like this is the worst one ive had since early 2020 and this time i cant reassure myself bc the lump stays 😭#i was going to say i don’t think i have a terminal illness but i would be lying actually i think i’m going to die within the yr tbh.#my symptoms do lean more towards mono than terminal illness but 😔 u know how it is for me. at least i’ll always exist on tumblr 😩#yeah lol the hypochondria has decided i have terminal illness sorry everyone it’s over 😔✌️

skipping class for the first time in my life bc my professor has covid and he sent out an email saying we’re having class and he’s asymptomatic and will wear a mask per cdc guidelines even tho he’s past the 5 day required isolation period. like. great whatevs but have you actually tested negative
update: the answer was no he had not
#stressed as FUCK#it’s fine we have a textbook and he doesn’t take roll#hoping he doesn’t do an extra credit activity but if i miss it for the sake of my health so be it#i have to go home afterwards anyway bc i have an appointment the next day with my thyroid dr#stressed abt that too bc my mum has dropped all precautions as if she isn’t in her 60s and didn’t lose her husband to covid#and idk what my sibling is doing but i know they’ve stopped masking at their practices and i wouldn’t be surprised if they stopped masking#all together. they also only wear cloth masks but at least it was something#idk i just feel like im the only one not ignoring it. like. when my dad got sick i asked him early on if he could smell and he was like#‘I’m just congested’ and my mum was like ‘no he’s just sick it’s not covid’ and then we waited until it was too late#like. i tell my mum that there’s nothing we could have done bc i don’t want her to feel guilty but like#idk. part of me thinks that if people had just listened to me and gotten him tested earlier and not lived in denial that maybe he’d still be#here. and my mum is pretty healthy but again she’s in her 60s. i don’t want to lose another parent to covid. or if she gets it and has it#bad or ends up with long covid then im gonna have to come home to take care of her or. idek. like i don’t live at home anymore so i can’t#pick up the slack if something happens to her. and my sibling definitely can’t#it’s so stressful. did we not watch the same process of my dad rapidly deteriorating. by the time we took him to the hospital he looked like#a corpse. he was completely grey and his eyes were glazed and he couldn’t even sit up or wave goodbye. has she just forgotten that happened#am i the only one who remembers watching my dad deteriorate in front of us#vent tw#covid tw
