Look at the odds to feel better, under about 70 and no comorbidity if you get it you have a 99.9% chance of surviving. Think of this virus as a really nasty cold. We are much better now with therapeutics and the shot is just around the corner.

Write it out.

Also write out the good moments.

Doing is better than over thinking.

Just curious and you are free to ignore the question, but? ? ?

Did you suffer anything similar before the COVID Propaganda Blitzkrieg?

Germaphobe I ain't, but my social anxiety gives me a very similar hangover after any and all of my social events. How ironic is it that the more successful the social event, the harsher my guilt and shame reactions? If I had a good time, I must have hurt somebody, somewhere in the process. What did I do wrong? What did I forget to do? How is this social success going to reveal itself as a massive failure?

Guilt and shame are mean demons. . . They seem to have an endless supply of ways to target their victims.

Gentle support while you sort yours.

I don't know what the restrictions are where you live as far as how much capacity is allowed inside/outside seating, etc. Stay minimum 6 feet apart from all others. But your concern of bringing it home to family members (possibly elderly ones) is valid. I would feel the same way if I lived with other people at home.

Can you think of other places to go out with friends? Such as a park. The only thing about outside dining, and outside bars, is that you don't know about the servers, and are you staying 6+ feet away from all other people there, especially the ones you don't know? Is everyone there wearing masks?

Try to think of creative way to get together with your friends where there could be more distance involved. And less people. Preferably outside.

Again, check the rules in your state as far as capacity. When I go out, I am very careful and I limit my time spent around others that have not quarantined or have recently tested negative. They say more than 15 minutes exposure puts you at risk.

I don't say any of this to scare you, but I do think your concerns are valid and real. Until they come up with a vaccine, we all have to be very careful. Younger people are dying from this too.

It is worth it, you are worth it, we can't stop living life because of fear. Magnesium will get rid of your anxiety and overwhelming unnecessary guilt and ginseng will get rid of sticky negative thoughts that loop and haunt you. Even if you did, for most people it is a bad flu, and life will go on. If you are fragile health or fear is too much, don't go, but don't let fear rule you and stop you from living. <3

So in just doing a quick google and found this: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/nutritional-strategies-to-ease-anxiety-201604139441

Does anybody use diet to help with anxiety?
