Anxiety and Covid 19

[Sarahbelle]

Hi.

I am extremely anxious about the current covid pandemic.

Feel as though it is living in my brain but my body feels the symptoms.

It causes me such panic and terror and all consuming

Trying to challenge my thinking but ver hard.

Any one else feel this. Any advice appreciated.

Thankyou.

Hi Sarahbelle!

Lovely to speak with you too!

I can't believe it's been a year too, it has gone by so quickly!

Your time in the bush sounds like a lovely way to walk in your mum's footsteps and honour her. I really think that's so wonderful!

My pug is good! That is a great idea, if I can put a little costume on her for a photo that would be adorable!

How's everthing with your house going? Did you finalise the sale?

Love to speak to you!

Hi Missep.

A beautiful sunny Sunday in Melbourne. This time last year would not have believed it was possible to have such freedom.

My house sale finalises in June, which is fast approaching.

I am looking forward to everything being settled and moving forward.

Just home from a lovely walk with my dog, now we are taking things easy. Quiet mothers day as my son is recovering from surgery but he will be fine soon and we will have a celebration then

How are you going?

Wedding plans getting closer?.

Take care.

Hi Sarahbelle!

The house sale is going to be finalised so soon! I feel as though time went by so quickly.

I found myself reflecting yesterday on 2020. I am so grateful for where we are now. I feel like last year was truly a testing year but I find that I am much more appreciative of the things in my life now.

I wish your son a speedy recovery! And a Happy Mother's Day to you!

I have been very busy with studying so wedding planning has been on the back burner! My partner has moved from a high paying full-time job to a casual job because he was so burnt out. He is so much happier now but it means that finances will be quite tight for a while. Most importantly though is that we are both happy 🙂

I hope you take care as well!

Hi Missep.

I hope this message finds you well and happy.

How are your studies going? I remember study days well. Can be a stressful time but also enjoyable when we are studying what we love.

Back in lockdown. It is not as frightening this time round probably because we have been through it before. We closed the school yesterday and said goodbye to the children yet again.

Managed to have a lovely walk with this afternoon.

Wishing you well. Take care.

Sarahbelle.

Hi Sarahbelle!

I like the way that you said that! I hope this message finds you well and happy too!

You are so resilient! Looking back to last year and everything that we have went through - I can really see your strength and it is amazing that you have stayed positive through this new lockdown again. I feel as though we are adjusting (as much as we can) to the new normal for now. At least things are looking up and we have more information that we did last year!

My studies are going well! 3 more left and then done! It has been a bit stressful because in total I have had 16 assignments/assesments this semester but I have been powering through.

I hope you have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Missep.

Good luck with all your assignments, a very busy time for you.

Crazy times in Victoria again with numbers rising.

I am working from home again. Get my vaccine this afternoon.

At the moment just a watch and wait approach to the situation.

This time around I feel much more in control of myself. Just keeping fingers crossed that all goes well for everyone.

Thankyou for your continued kindness.

Sarahbelle.

Hi Sarahbelle!

I apologise for my late reply, I just completed my 16th (and final) assessment for the semester!

Thank you for your kind words, how have you been recently?

I have been spending some time off the computer since I have spent so many hours on it previously. I am feeling like I am recharging my batteries.

I agree, it is a crazy time! I think the numbers have been looking better in VIC recently, is that right?

I think that you have shown so much bravery and self-growth and awareness despite the extremely turbulent times!

Thank you for your continued kindness too!

[Sarahbelle]

Hi Missep.

I too am sorry for late reply.

I understand how studying can be all consuming and it is important to be able to take time to recharge.

I am sure you will have great success.

Time seems to be going so quickly with not enough hours in the day.

Dark going to work and dark getting home.

Hope all is going ok for you with the outbreak of Covid. We are just returning to normal as you begin a scarey time. Seems never ending.

Take good care.

Sarahbelle

Hi Sarahbelle,

thank you for your kind thoughts and support!

I agree, the plus side to it being dark is that the days are slowly getting longer and longer. I really love it when it's still bright at 8pm so I will look forward to that again!

Things are escalating in Sydney again but so far I am feeling okay about it, it feels as though I have had a lot of 'practice' by now of how things escalate and then return to normalcy.

I am so glad that things are getting better in Victoria! You guys did an amazing job.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Missep.

So sorry I have not messaged for awhile.

I have had to move to an air bnb whilst my house is renovated. Quite an experience but will be so happy when all is complete.

My lovely dog has settled well.

I was thinking of you with all the covid worries in Sydney.

I do hope you are well and coping with the situation. Very scarey for you.

I send my love and understanding.

Take special care.
