my close friend & i enjoying the beginning of our hot girl mask summer 😷🥳🤗 hot people wear masks because it’s compassionate, kind, considerate & the right thing to do!
😷🥰 i wish i started masking sooner but i’m really proud of myself for choosing to do better once i knew better - & you can too🫶🏼community care is love🩷

sometimes i feel so ashamed or embarrassed that i only became covid conscious in may of this year because i wish i never became complacent. i wish i nevert trusted the government & now i know better. idk but when i discovered covid is airborne i knew i need to do better so i did
friendly reminder that you are not mentally ill because you don’t want to get covid, especially if you’re already high risk. you are doing the right thing to try & protect yourself. as for the trolls, you’re gonna wish one day that you listened to us.
does anyone ever think how fucked it is that the pandemic could have ended or been significantly reduced but our gov/CDC/WHO brainwashed us instead like y’all are actually so embarrassing
welp my younger sister just tested positive & my family & i have officially been exposed. im so scared right now, & im so tired of trying to get my family to take precautions just for them not to listen to me, now i have to be worried about not only myself but the rest of them😥
i hate how every time i bring up covid to my family i get told that im “not a doctor” or a “know-it-all” & im like… you dont have to be a dr or know-it-all to understand how airborne viruses work? & guess what the doctors we DO have that understand it CHOOSE TO SPREAD IT ANYWAYS
just found out my dad tested positive. i’m freaking out, i’m so scared & so tired of being exposed when my family could take the simplest precautions & won’t listen to me. i’m so worried rn
not wearing a mask (esp. during a surge) & being shocked or surprised when you test positive for covid is like having unprotected sex & then being shocked when you end up with an STD or pregnant. no hate to my girlies though but like cmon now do y’all not see the correlations???
if i die from covid because of people’s sheer ignorance i want to make it very clear that covid is what killed me, not my underlying health problems, because guess what, none of them are fatal. covid is.

how does one deal with narcissistic parents that invalidate tf out of your chronic illnesses / disabilities in an ongoing pandemic that they also won’t take seriously & seem to be perfectly fine with neglecting their disabled daughter? asking for me
i just wish it happened sooner & i wasn’t par of the problem prior to it, even though i was unaware. i was one of those people who thought it was over & i’m so embarrassed of that
i want to make a youtube video so badly sharing my story with chronic illness & long covid but am too debilitated by my symptoms & brain fog to even articulate what i so badly want to articulate to get my point across & am scared of being insensitive or saying something wrong🙃
also not to mention i had a previous relationship that was toxic & my ex would call me all kinds of names when i questioned anything regarding covid when he would ask me to wear a mask - i never refused, i just wanted him to explain, but he wouldn’t & would just shame me
& there was so much abuse & it took so much effort to heal from that, but every time i would go to put on a mask after breaking up his voice would play in me head & everything he said to me & would call me, plus that being around the time mask mandates were dropped
@SurvivingCFS
yes i do this! my nightstand & med cart are next to my bed & then i have shelves around/above my bed with some of my essentials within close reach - also a lot of stuff in my bed bc i tend to nest bc i’m autistic so half of my bed is just taken up by most of my everyday items lol
does anyone else with

have any recommendations for good CPC mouthwashes & nose sprays & other measures that can help reduce viral load? i know everyone is different but i will take any suggestions i can get!
@kemimarie
friendly reminder the pandemic is still here & ongoing & everyone should be masking with a KN95, N95 or 3M or better
but yes i still feel 18 regularly & have to remind myself that i’m almost 22 nearly every day🙃
going to schedule my novavax & debating if i should get a flu shot at the same time or not… i handled it fine last year so it should be fine but i’m hesitant, any advice?
imagine caring more abt your social life & what people think of you as a parent/partner than you do about protecting your immunocompromised loved ones health-that npr article has me so fucked up bc all of my family is just like that pathetic excuse of a partner-feeling for him💔
does anyone know of any other nasal sprays similar to XLEAR? besides betadine? i ordered some XLEAR & was just about to spray it but i read the ingredients & realized i can’t use it bc it has grapefruit seed extract & i’m allergic to grapefruit so🥲
seeing this on my fyp is so discouraging & sad. not only are the comments full of ppl saying omg it’s crazy we lived through that, but the fact that the textbooks in schools are misinforming these kids & they can’t understand how much danger they’re actually in
#CovidIsntOver
not to mention long covid ruined my life as well but i didn’t even have to say that - for everyone to be so kind & thank me means so much❤️🩹& i love this community so much, idk where i would be without my covid cautious baes😷🫶🏼🩷i know we will make a change, & we already are!!🥹

#yallmasking
sometimes y’all are too pessimistic & fueling this idea of hopelessness/saying that it’s impossible to find love during the pandemic idk like yk it doesn’t have to be so black & white? it’s not all doom & gloom & if we don’t have some kind of hope we’re not gnna get anywhere idk
i’m about to take an at home covid test but can’t find that video or instructions on how to get the most accurate results for the life of me, does anyone have the link/info? the one where it says to do throat then cheeks then nostrils? i just want to make sure i do it correctly
word of advice do NOT drink matcha on an empty stomach especially if u have POTS😭i did by accident & i felt like i was levitating for the past 3 hours LMAO
the everyday dilemma of not knowing whether my symptoms are MCAS related, POTS related, EDS related, my actual asthma / allergies / other comorbidities or if i’m actually sick with covid is incredibly mentally draining… plus health anxiety & medical trauma… got me like 🫠
hey everyone, i am crowdfunding to raise funds so that i can cover some medical expenses & save up to move out. my goal is $1500. if you can donate my info is attached, if not please share 🫶🏼 thank you
also he wasn’t even wearing KN95s or N95s he wore surgical masks & still does so that doesn’t add up for me🤨even though i did too but i had never heard of higher filtration masks so maybe he hadn’t either?? idk
@saintherons
i had my suspicions & was unsure abou it & then covid happened & it lowkey forced me to drop out (i worked at the school as well & everyone got laid off) but i also knew it just wasn’t gonna work for me pandemic or not💀but in retrospect i’m glad i didn’t waste more time or money
does anyone else experience a sensation like your heart is beating but in your throat? that might sound strange but that’s the best way i can describe it, PEM type of symptom, i’m also really weak & my blood feels thick & my arms feel so weak & heavy idk what to do
#LongCovid
if i were to have covid or get it in the future what could i take besides paxlovid? i have MCAS & POTS & have read that POTS patients can’t take paxlovid so i don’t know what my options would be & want to make sure i’m prepared just in case
@Dakota_150
yup this is what happened to me, except i had already had an hEDS diagnosis in my chart that my pediatric cardiologist didn’t inform me of, so i didn’t find out until my long covid symptoms started😣
i’ve genuinely never felt so burnt out & drained in my life. just begging for people to care. & unfortunately it’s what i have to do to survive, but i’m tired of being stuck in survival mode, i just want peace.
@ChristianGolca
yeah it was a shock to me this time bc when my sibling had it, i managed to dodge it & they’re in the room next to mine, they were even in my room a couple days before they tested positive. i spent less than 2 minutes around my parent that has it & it got me within 2 days.🙃😭
i’m so scared bc i havent been able to rest or made it priority since my reinfection bc of my environment. i hate being in survival mode constantly & i cant sleep bc of so many factors, idk what to do, bc if i get worse theres no way ill be able to move out, but i need money
im currently working on a youtube video to share my

story from my perspective & i want to make sure i include other

okay so its been over 10 days since my family members symptoms first started & theyre negative now & ive been negative every time ive tested (like 4 or 5 times now), no symptoms besides sore/scratchy throat (which i pretty much always have)… would one say im in the clear? idk
i’m so upset bc i got covid for christmas of 2021, then last christmas i was sick with the flu, this year i have been doing everything i possibly can to not get sick this christmas, then a family member brings it home. like oh my god🙃you’ve gotta be kidding me
the fact that my family doesn’t mask is so damn stressful. i try to mask as much as i can around them but there’s only so much i can do but like fuck man it’s so simple to do & all they do is complain about it🙃
tried digestive enzymes for the first time today & was SO impressed & relieved bc this is the first day in a long time that my stummy hasnt been messed up bc of my MCAS/POTS, like the most peaceful tummy day ever, discomfort at a 1, no bloating at all & im even on my period… 🧵
does anyone else with long covid experience internal vibrations & can literally feel your vagus nerve throbbing? out of all of my combined symptoms this one has to be the most uncomfortable & idk what else to do to calm it🙃🫨
the way that i will be fighting to get those intranasal vaccines once they roll out & snorting them like ❄️ (this is a joke i do not partake in that drug ok)
imma keep it cute. your friend groups are not as strong as you think because when you really stand for something, they’ll leave. if something awful happens, life-changing, eg. you become disabled and you need to now move in a different way, they’ll leave.
