to combat rising covid anxiety...
PASSING THOUGHT: To combat my rising covid anxiety, (apart from packing removal boxes), I'm researching places I'd like to visit -Riverina, NSW...when I finally get there...

Must do all it takes to keep on the positive side of my soul, no matter how crazy it may seem to others...
There's a lot of heightened anxiety on here as covid numbers climb and supply shortages kick in.

Remember to go for a walk or check on vulnerable neighbours or just leave doom scrolling alone.
If you need help on here, let people know.
Be calm. Be nice. We're all here. xx
It's a bit like the extreme horror movie experience.

You may watch between fingers plastered round your eyes, your heart is thumping, you may feel ill and terrified, trying to psyche yourself for the next horror, but still you watch, magnetised...and can't leave...
