She’s always been kind of a hypochondriac so this thing has really not helped with that phobia. It’s actually kind of funny sometimes. Just to see the look on her face if she happens to cough or her stomach starts to hurt. She’s convinced she has it about ninety times a day lol
I would go out, but as a diabetic with MS, I’d probably drop dead the second I left the apartment with my sister yelling at my corpse “See! I told you so!!” Lol

Aww... I get the hypochondria thing; I have always been kind of a closet hypochondriac too, and teaching has turned me into a germophobe. I haven't been freaking out about the rona though. It's definitely scary to hear the stories about it, but maybe because it's not as widespread around me and because I've been staying home, I don't worry much about getting it myself. I'm sure if I was an essential worker and had other people living with me, I would be a lot more concerned. You have every reason to stay put.

And see I've never been a hypochondriac or a germophobe but this whole thing is turning me into one. I think that's why I've been writing more, because I need a way to turn my brain off. When everything escalated and got crazy, I won't lie I had a hard time sleeping the first couple nights. Because my mind just wouldn't stop. I'm doing good and I'm being very careful, to the point where I can't do much more. But I'd be lying if the thoughts didn't sneak in still sometimes.

Totally understandable! Writing is a good distraction.
