pandemic2020

This is from the post I'm about to release about #MaskAnxiety I am formatting it now, so it will be very soon. There will be one other coming from it, at least. Ugh, formatting. Ugh, chronic mental and physical conditions. We are warriors whether anyone wants to believe it or not. It requires prevention, constant maintenance, & planning to live with #chronicillnesses and #MentalHealth conditions. If you want to have any control at all, anyway. It's exhausting just to exist this way, let alone deal with life, then things like #COVID19 For more from me, visit writtenbydida.com #chronicillnesswarrior #AnxietyDisorder #MentalHealth #COVID19 #pandemic2020 #fibrowarriors #Fibromyalgia #invisibleillnesswarrior #spooniewarrior #Spoonie

Those of us that live with chronic illnesses that keep us from being able to function like the average person have been fighting this fight for YEARS. Companies have refused to allow us to work remotely, even though it has been possible for decadeS now. We are in the year 2020. We had these capabilities in the year 2000 (may have been complicated, but we had them.) We've been able to do this since the 80's but yet many companies still don't allow people to work from home. We still have to struggle because we can't find enough remote work to make a livable income. With the exception of jobs that require physical labor or actually touching a person, just about everything else can be set up to where it can be done from home. Think about how many jobs that is.

Yeah, I know it's hard to appreciate the little things in life right now & since I was feeling cooped up today, I took the dog on a safe, #socialdistance walk around our ghost of a town. It's a tourist based community so this #pandemic2020 has really hurt our local economy. Practically every business has closed, some has found alternative ways to do business & the restaurants are doing to go only, so we're adjusting. These flowers blooming throughout town reminded me that life still goes on & we'll get through this. Things may look very different when we get to the other side but that's okay. I'm okay, my family is okay & life goes on...

so a few nights ago I started waking up GASPING for air. I felt like I was drowning on land. plus I have stabbing pains all along my sides. I cant eat or drink without vomiting. and yesterday - after 3 full days of this, my boyfriend said enough is enough and called an ambulance. I got an EKG, a chest xray, the covid test, everything. the test unfortunately takes a few days. they also mentioned I could have a pulmonary embolism from my surgery in january. I'm so tired because I don't sleep through the night, I'm not getting enough hair... in exhausted.

I keep seeing people say we can't do anything about the way things are, but we CAN, if we all decide we aren't going to accept how things are any longer. Just because things have always been a certain way, doesn't mean it HAS to be that way. We can be better. We can make things better for EVERYONE in this country if we all speak up and use our voices in every way we can. This is even more important for those of us who have chronic conditions. One thing this pandemic HAS proven, is that there is MUCH more they could be doing to let us do just about anything from home, rather than acting like it's too much trouble, or can't be done. They also should now see the need for many more solutions, and we need to insist upon them instead of just accepting that this is how things are. They don't have to be.

I am posting this here because most of us are at risk from this virus, so the way this has been handled impacts us significantly more than the average person. We should be more angry with them than most. We are the ones they saw as acceptable losses. We can't let that go. This is my message to our political leaders: If this country gets reopened too soon, it will be the most irresponsible move in American history, and will result in losing EVEN MORE lives than we already have to. STOP MESSING UP. Can you really not see how bad of a mistake that would be?? Stop being weak. Stand up to those saying that you need to move faster than medical professionals advise. Get on the right side of history because it WILL be recorded forever in the history books, and hopefully they'll tell the truth about how the majority of these lives could have been saved if our leaders had reacted when they should have and with the seriousness that was required. We should have been shut down AT LEAST in January. We wouldn't be staying at home now it we had. There would be some guidelines in place, but they would have been able to contain the spread. Every death beyond what we would have lost if we'd shut down in January has been directly caused by political drama and we should NOT be accepting that as just life or okay. We should be outraged and letting them know how horrible it is that they've allowed so many to die. Yes, I blame them because it IS their fault.
