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

I& #39;ve been having trouble breathing over the last week or so. It& #39;s not a cough, nor do I have a fever so we quickly ruled out COVID. But it happens randomly throughout the day.

I& #39;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& #39;s up.

It& #39;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& #39;t get a hearing until the offices opens after the quarantine.

Times are hard.

Anyway. I& #39;m not making this thread for sympathy. I& #39;m just being up front on why I may seem irritable or distant lately. I& #39;m a very social person normally. But life has been REALLY rough on me lately.

Please forgive me if I& #39;ve been annoying or overbearing lately. I& #39;ll get better.
