What I did
- Fell into a hole of anxiety
- Scheduled a telemedicine appointment. The next available was 10pm.
- Set up the balcony as a “walkies station” for Elvis.
- Forgot to eat until 11 am because anxiety. Ate a soylent. Tried eating again at 1 pm, nursed that sandwich until 6pm.
- Talked to a fellow autist on Reddit about what they’re going through, suggested some ways to regain structure.
- Found http://stayathomefest.com/ . It’s awesome!
- Went to the Dropkick Murphys – Streaming Up From Boston liveshow — me and my 153,903 closest friends!
- Picked up my knitting
- Installed the Calm and Headspace apps
- Took a hot bath
- Dyed my hair purple
Today’s Symptoms
- Sore throat
- Very mild fever (98.9°C)
- tightness in the throat
- sinus gunk
- sore back
- nausea
None of these symptoms is debilitating and they can all be explained by anxiety. I have so much anxiety. In about 2 hours I’ll talk to a nice doctor from Tennessee and see if she thinks it’s just anxiety.
Update: telemedicine was a failure. The video call just wouldn’t connect. I rescheduled for Wednesday.
Also, Fairfield County is up to 48 presumed or confirmed cases.
