CN: covid19

Feeling kinda frozen and nauseous that some relatives of mine are spouting "covid19 is a conspiracy" rhetoric and refusing to wear masks...

It makes me scared for them and it makes me feel like they don't care about me or people like me who are high risk.

This has triggered my anxiety to the point of physical symptoms (dizzy, nauseous, tachycardia) especially that I have to take my sister to another doctors appointment today, in FLORIDA, where the numbers are climbing.

I'm sick at what this kind of thinking means for so many people.

I'm shocked at where this is coming from, from people I miss, from people I thought were careful.

"I miss you... but your actions put me and people like me in danger"

What a thing to sit with.

Trying to figure out how to finish getting dressed for this doctor visit... it's been hard to move.

I have only been moving my fingers to type but the rest of my body is frozen. Once I send this last tweet, I'll go. Just live tweeting my anxiety attack as a coping tool.

Update: I had them do a phone appointment instead last minute (don't know why it wasn't set up like that in the first place) and I am still climbing down the anxiety attack mountain.

These times are truly overwhelming.

Please take care of yourselves and others.
