Sometimes I wonder if I should isolate myself or not.
Like I want to be alone, but maybe I need to be with people...
I isolated myself for a while, but then I talked to my mom and we watched this show together and I felt better.
My sister is going crazy because she's been doing school from home since COVID hit.
She wants to get out and see her friends and be with kids her own age.
I'm quite literally the complete opposite u8
I enjoy being at home.
I enjoy not having to be away from home.
I'd stay in my room 24/7 if I could Bu

I can understand that. Sometimes being in the presence of someone who is willing to let you be there and talk at your own pace is good.
The poor girl is probably losing her mind with online school. I know I would be.
Yesterday I realized how numb I’ve become to people slowly dying. I work in oncology now which is often sad. One of the nurses was talking about a patient getting sicker and the whole staff looked depressed, and I felt nothing.

I used to go talk to my therapist but I haven't seen him since COVID popped up 8,u
Yeah, this whole online school thing has been a massive pain in the ass.
My sister won't do what she's supposed to so they call and harass my mom.
We're paranoid they'll take her to court because my sister isn't going to class, despite finishing her work.
She's supposed to be in class through Zoom and she just won't do it and I don't know why.
She'll just do her work and not be in the class so she's counted absent.
I don't know what to say about that. I think it's just a defense mechanism type thing.
So many people have been dying lately so maybe you're just used to it.
Maybe you don't want to think about it so you keep it at a distance \8u/

Is your therapist offering virtual/zoom counseling? That might work.
My husband’s younger sister was the same way. His parents have to be in the room with her during classes to make sure she’s logged in.
I assume its a defense mechanism. I hope so at least. I now only feel pure rage when discussing covid deaths now because so much could have been avoided abd unfortunately due to hippa, i’m never gonna really be able to tell people everything i’ve witnessed.

I don't think so. My sleep doctor was offering it but my clinic that I go to didn't seem like they were doing it :\
And it's not just on our side either - they have said she didn't do her work when she did.
One time, I was in the same room with her and we discussed the work she was doing and she turned it in.
The teacher called my mom being a bitch and saying my sister didn't do her work and was shaming our mom.
I went online, saw where my sister turned it in, took a screenshot and sent it to the teacher >__>
Funny, she had nothing to say back Bu
I think people tend to put it on the back burner to deal with later.
Instead of taking time to deal with it, they just keep letting it boil until it boils over.
I think if people would wear masks instead of acting like big babies it'd be a little better.
It's not going against your rights to wear a mask.
It's not just about YOU and YOUR health - it's about EVERYONE.
I remember when it first hit here, I saw someone just coughing on the shelves at the store >__>

That’s a shame. I know tele-health programs take a lot of work to get off the ground but they’re super helpful for patients.
God that teacher sounds awful. I’m sorry your sister has her.
I talked to one of my coworkers from main pharmacy the other day and he said he had a similar experience so now we know we’re both broken.

It makes me more anxious having to be at home and talk to someone with a video chat xD
Like it makes me feel unsafe in my home.
Like I feel unsafe out of my home and that's normal but I refuse to feel unsafe in my home u8
I don't even know who the teacher was.
They also keep saying she's missing assignments and she says she doesn't know where they are or how to get to them.
When she doesn't do her work, she gets her tablet taken away and she's like "SURE TAKE AWAY MY HAPPINESS! GUESS I'LL JUST KILL MYSELF!"
She doesn't comprehend it's her own fault she gets her tablet taken.
If she doesn't do her classes, she doesn't get her tablet but she finds that unfair.
Well, I mean death is happening all around us and we're more aware of it now.
It's just like "Hohum another death -sigh-"

I can understand that entirely. Part of my anxiety is talking on the phone. I basically have to give myself a pep talk before I make a call.
That teacher sucks. I get switching to online is difficult but you should still be able to keep track of assignments. I was teaching a college lab on top of my normal job when covid started and needed to switch everything over and I did just fine when it came to tracking assignments.
That seems like a dramatic reaction to getting something taken away. That might be a future therapy discussion.
Yeah I’ve basically hit that state where I’m like, meh oh well.
I love your avi!

I have to give myself a pep talk too xD
For the phone, for going out, for playing a game with others, etc.
It's been so confusing for all of us. She's also being taught Turkish which she missed assignments and she didn't know where they even were.
I found it - it was a little link and she was able to do it and turn it in.
She's going to be taking summer school. It's not that bad, but :\
It irks me because she needed tutoring and the teachers doing the tutoring skipped it a lot.
Like if you put someone in tutoring, you had better be there to tutor them >__>
Yeah, she's doing therapy and we even had taken her to see a specialist to see if she has Autism.
Thank you x3

Oh the fun struggles of anxiety.
She’s learning Turkish?! Damn that can’t be easy. I feel for her. I would be lost in that class. I’m bad at Spanish and French. I wouldn’t even have a chance with a language that isn’t Latin based.
I hope the therapy helps her out. Too much change and stress at once can be a lot, and if she has autism of adhd or really any social/ learning disability, it only adds challenges to her. I hope everything works out okay.
