I was tested for the Coronavirus because I was experiencing some symptoms of the virus. I have been put on isolation from family and friends for ten days. I got my results back today after being on lockdown for six days and yes that also included 4th of July. My results was negative for the Coronavirus but since the doctor expected it I am still being treated like I am positive for ten days. I have four more days to go before I am free to move about people again. Other than that life have been Ok! I am trying to be up beat about things and I am making something good out of a difficult situation. I have been outside beautifying my yard. If nothing else at least my yard is bringing me some happiness when I overlook the work I have done in the last two days. Be blessed everyone. Floor 2017 Oh man that sucks. Up here in Canada it's the same. If we test negative we are then locked up in solitary confinement. I don't like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use too much of my downtime to figure out the world around me and I've never figured out anything good yet. The truths about most things will make you run screaming. Sober I agree. Most people are not nice. They try to destroy us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW, hang in there my friend and just try to concentrate on yourself for right now. However, you can pray for your family and to ask your HigherPower to watch over your love ones and to give them the strength to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floor 2017 After reading your story I know for sure I will never be tested. A negative test being treated as positive. They make it up as they go that's for sure. If doctors don't even really trust the results what's the point? I'm just going to hide away here at the house until my life is over and hope nobody ever shows up again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellerose Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I was told so many times, it’s ok to be angry. I’ve always understood emotions are human and unavoidable. But I guess a lot of people saw me as an angry kid. People who knew me outside of school wouldn’t agree, but that was the reputation I had eventually amongst my hometown. I don’t like anger. It’s annoying. But I understand it’s something that everyone experiences. I just think I don’t know how to deal with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 People would probably say I'm angry too. I never act happy or smile or talk to anyone unless I have no choice. I go around dirty and don't even comb my hair anymore. I don't care anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people still upbeat and acting happy. It makes no sense. This has been the worst year of most of our lives.

It turns up a lot of false positives and can't necessarily distinguish between COVID-19 and other coronaviruses (which are commonplace). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to go see my brother last month but I cancelled because you have to take a test before you go to that state. I am trying as hard as I can to stay on the outside of this story.

ladysmurf Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I had a really anxious day. For decades I’ve been dealing with this illness, and I keep hoping and hoping someday I will get to feel somewhat normal, to be able to enjoy the simple things in life that others take for granted, and sometimes I think that will never happen, and it hurts. So I don’t even know why I bother, then I keep saying hold on something will happen, but when? Are we ever going to feel any type of relief, or is this going to be forever like this for us? It’s so discouraging, and exhausting … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have to have the attitude like the king from The Lord of the Rings. Those are the hardest moments in life fighting with everything you have even if you fully believe all hope is lost.

I don't enjoy anything either. I've been doing this for 41 years. Most of life is the same things over and over. It's repetition day after day year after year. Who would truly enjoy any of this still? I don't think anyone really enjoys this life or understands this life. I think most people are lost and bored most of the time making the most of what they have. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothing_man Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 How are you doing today? I'm into reading buddhism. Not a magic relief, I'm giving it a chance. Some guy suggested it in a post of the forum. In a sentence, is key to stop running away from suffering, and instead stare at it, and understand it. Also, "the safest place in earth is now", it means now, this moment. I'm embracing that sentence this days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
