Coping with Covid life

Oh yes I hear you.  I finished 5 weeks treatment in early feb this year.  Then the shutdown.  I'm semi retired and self employed but still really struggled.  When I was finally feeling like getting out....I scheduled a week long women only hike on the applachian trail.  But one of my twin sons (23) broke his damn arm in 3 places on his motorcycle the week before my trip!!!!!  So trip canceled and nursed him instead.  Sometimes it seems so hard to catch a break.  Which seems ironic!  I do hear you and send you sincere good thoughts.  

• Hi Flores I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. Are you finding the antidepressants are helping at all? They do take a while to build up in your system. In relation to anxiety, I have found Propanalol are very effective. Perhaps you could speak to your GP about that. These are difficult times, a pandemic just after your treatment. Are you able to speak by ‘phone/ video chat with your friends and family? I know it’s not the same but it’s better than nothing. It’s important you’re not totally isolated. Please come on here to share your worries and concerns whenever you need to. X

Hi Teletubby, that hike sounds interesting, how many miles is it? I like walking but don’t think I could manage a week of it! X

It was to have been 50 miles over 5 days.  Most days between 8 and 13 miles.  All women.  I traveled and hiked the grand canyon 3 years ago with this group.  We went to havasupai Indian reservation also. The group is called Adventures in good company. Look them up!!

Will do, thank you! Wow 50 miles in 5 days, a bit beyond my capabilities ! x
