CN Covid

This week was hard. I had a checkup with my doc. Complete blood work, thyroid check-in, everything. Turns out I'm completely healthy, which I haven't heard… for a really long time? I battled morbus basedow, low blood pressure, burn out, etc etc but now: HEALTHY. 1/?
And I felt: disappointment. Fear. Desperation.

While I waited I overheard someone call in to try to cheat the system into getting an earlier vaccination with Pfizer instead of taking the recommended AZ option (which is faster in Germany but only available to 60+). (2/?)
That was when it hit me: People will do *anything* to cheat the system. Anything. I asked my doctor if it’s likely I get a vaccination before September. She shrugged.

SHRUGGED. I wanted reassurance but basically she just confirmed my suspicions/fears.

Another summer locked.
Another summer seeing people travel without any regard for others. Another summer by myself in my small apartment in which I have spend 95% of my life for over 14 months.

my brain went into overdrive thinking in what scenarios I could avoid this? It came up blank—
but not really, because "breast cancer runs in the family so maybe I have that? Would I be relieved if I had that?" Shameful

On and on trying not to face the reality that people are so fucking selfish that it physically hurts, the government is so incompetent that it scares me.
There is no point in this thread. I auto delete my tweets anyway so it won’t stay forever.

But I am so sad. Desperate. My best friend got vaccinated yesterday and I still am so fearful of another lonely girl summer that I sat at my desk yesterday and just cried for an hour.
I know people are dying. My problems are pathetic. I know.

But on the off chance that anyone can relate: I see you. We can do this. We'll get through it. Somehow. We can learn to live with this. We are resilient. If we want, we can forgive others. Or stay spiteful. Both valid.
The end~~~
