I was finally up front with my parents and bf about it. So I might as well do so here as well.

I've been having trouble breathing over the last week or so. It's not a cough, nor do I have a fever so we quickly ruled out COVID. But it happens randomly throughout the day.

I'm not in any pain in my chest or anywhere else. I called my doctor to set up a phone appointment for Wednesday (Since in person appointments are being avoided due to the pandemic) to see what's up.

It's either my blood pressure being elevated, or possibly anxiety.

The anxiety possibility makes sense. I lost my job. COVID has cancelled events where I planned to make money with my team. My unemployment was denied, and while I filed an appeal, I can't get a hearing until the offices opens after the quarantine.

Times are hard.

Anyway. I'm not making this thread for sympathy. I'm just being up front on why I may seem irritable or distant lately. I'm a very social person normally. But life has been REALLY rough on me lately.

Please forgive me if I've been annoying or overbearing lately. I'll get better.
