Just wondering if you’ve made any progress with the fluoxetine yet?
A campervan may be a great idea as it’s your own space that you can keep clean, like a movable hotel room.
Yeah, a campervan is a good idea in theory, it's just the physical issues I get from driving that have stopped it so far, mainly nausea/motion sickness. I don't know if there will ever be a solution to it but if there is, a campervan would probably be the best thing to start working on my longer distance agoraphobia with.
As for the fluoxetine...I think you can guess the answer to that one. I've been having such a physically rough few weeks that I really can't risk that on top at the moment. It's about picking battles as I mentioned on another thread recently. I really need to be settled in more suitable accommodation before I can risk anything like that. I have found a private dietician that is willing to try and adjust my diet (within my restrictions and without face to face or telephones) so hopefully that makes life a bit easier. It's just so frustrating that I still haven't been able to find somewhere to move to as that's the thing that would make the biggest impact to me currently. -
You are correct @OverlyAnxious. This is how the virus spread so quickly in the first place - via superspreaders. These people carry the virus with little to no symptoms whilst all the time shedding the virus for others to pick up.
The vaccine just builds up your immunity to Covid meaning you fight it off quicker rather than killing it outright the second you get it. Because Covid has an incubation period you body will still be shedding it whilst in the process of killing it off -
@OverlyAnxious I know what you mean about picking the battles you can win. That is good news about the dietician, I hope they are able to help you out a bit.It’s annoying that Covid is happening just when you get put on a decent rate for benefits so can’t fully make the most of it. The same happened to me albeit to a lesser degree, with my higher rate PIP and Motability car, as I’m paying for it but not getting the full use of it going for drives and to far away appointments and other stuff that could help me.

I will see if my carer will get me to Nigeria, which she has said she would and if it happens I will be excited about it.
These people's plans give a lot of hope: https://www.freecomicbookday.com/Article/248146-Free-Comic-Book-Day-2021-Slated-for-an-August-14-Celebration#:~:text=Free Comic Book Day (FCBD,Saturday, August 14, 2021. Postponed from the first Saturday in May when it usually is (although last year it was totally different as Free Comic Book Summer). Whoever has queued up for Comic Books on that day, will sure know that they are hoping things will be back to normal by then. -

We are nowhere near that. The first lockdown was meant in part to put functioning test and trace in place and yet here we are nearly a year later and it’s a shambles.
At this rate I'm not sure if it'll ever be fully functional , the attention seems to have drifted from test and trace to vaccinationsOnline Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

i have a new plan : spending a lot less time on this forum2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
-
@woodbine no wood bine don’t say that I don’t want any more friends leaving the Forum .

@cupcake88 I just think atm that i'm spending too much time on here going through the same old unnecessary arguments with the same person, my life really is too short for that so as soon as lockdown ends my time wasted on here will become shorter.
Sorry but thats just the way I feel. x2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
