PTSD--keep my sanity

Hot 11018 views. 2020-3-3 10:32 |Individual Classification:Daily Life

After a day’s work in office, my husband’s company decided to resume its work-at-home mode. For one thing, there is no restaurant close to their office, except KFC where no dine-in, only takeout allowed. So, lunch would be a problem. Secondly, wearing the masks all day makes them lightheaded and unable to concentrate.


So, today for me is another busy, fully-occupied day.


Everything seems to become better, however, the impact of coronavirus, physically, mentally, and financially, is huge and it might takes a long time to overcome it.


For our family, mentally impact might be the worst.


Sometimes my son would become clingy, and he would ask: “Take this lesson with me, mum.” I usually would agree. Live streaming classes can’t replace the physical one where they have classmates and teachers who they can actually see, talk and hang around.


On the other hand, my husband’s determination to prove that there is something terrible wrong with his body makes me so damn helpless ( I was gonna say it’s going to kill me but I changed my mind. I know I get paranoid here, but I am afraid this might become real in my case).


Anyway, another false alarm of his rhinitis cancer was cleared after an adventure to the hospital, before that it’s gastric cancer, and before gastric its heart attack…. You know, once he seriously thought that he got breast cancer too… Excuse me????


Today he is worried about his light-headed, and he kept asking me why he feels so light-headed. Honestly, I am running out of neither the words nor the patience----Hey, there is a confirmed cancer patient here, remember?


It’s a long time issue, I probably shouldn’t blame it on coronavirus. But I have to have someone to blame. So, coronavirus it is.


Mentally, I know I have my issue. But honestly, I can still keep my sanity considering all of these shits, you can say I am mentally strong enough.

I want to say: This is a dark time but everything is going to be just fine. Keep faith, keep hope and keep fight blabla, but it sounds so empty. Words are sometimes so pale. So, I just want to give you a hug. I read your articles, and I know how hard you've tried, and how tough life could be. Still, we MUST hold on, we MUST keep forward because we don't have any choice. Perhaps, after going through all these shits, we would have a better future. We so much deserve it! We grow from what we are going through. And when that better day finally came, we could laugh and be proud of ourselves. PS, don't be morally blackmailed. Donation should not be forced. it's up to you.
