How’s Everyone Coping With COVID-19? 🧩
I only just found out about this corner of the community today! 💚 Hopefully one day we will have enough community participation to be our own sub-community🤞 How is everyone coping with the pandemic by the way? I know changes in routine, face-coverings, social distancing and new rules can really impact those with autism. I’m thinking of you all during this difficult time 🌻
@JessHobson i am doing Good i just started my own meet up group for people with disibitlies it goes to 23 to 32 and i am excited
@sally2345986 oh wow that is an amazing thing 💚 Good to hear that you are doing alright too 🙂
I'm carefully coping with it. I wear a mask if I go out but I usually don't go out unless I'm going to a doctors appointment. Sometimes I go get fast food (really bad for me I know I hate myself for it too) and I use hand sanitizer after receiving my food. I want to get vaccinated for it when it becomes available.
It’s really brave of you to share here! Is wearing a face mask something you struggle with?
I have been struggling with the pandemic and I have been dealing with anxiety and depression bc of it
@Clairebear233 it's really tough to hear that this is the affect that the pandemic is having on you. I'm wondering which aspect you are struggling with the most, at the moment?
Probably struggling with the fact that I can’t go out as much and go to social events in real life
I am struggling on a level I never have before. My daddy is ICU with it right now and he has been there for 3 weeks. He is in a coma. My world is literally crumbling from under me and there's absolutely nothing I can do.
@XZosoX it's really hard when things are out-of-our control like this - you must feel really helpess right now. Do you think you would benefit from some 1-1 support with a listener?
@JessHobson
Just work from home, stay safe home and follow norms.
