I was shocked at my reaction to visiting the Thai temple at King’s Bromley today. There were so many people. It was a friendly atmosphere but I felt overwhelmed. I went into the crowded area in front of the stage (wearing a mask), but almost immediately I had to get away. I burst into tears! I went and sat in the shade of a tree away from the main crowd. I didn’t like being exposed to do many people. I was also surprised that only one other people were wearing masks. I’m supposed to be visiting somewhere else tomorrow but I’m seriously concerned about how I will cope, fear, nerves and anxiety again ?

((hugs)) It must be difficult…I’m still staying home, just weekly trips to the grocery store. Can only imagine what a crowd would be like – and so few masks!! ::shivers::

Glad I’m not the only nervous one!

I’m not particularly nervous, but there’s a little part of me that’s disgusted and angry over all that’s happened in the past two + years. I don’t like feeling that way. I was at the store today to pick up my groceries. Another car was parked beside mine. Their windows were down. I said — from outside and a good distance away, “Good morning!” and the couple in the car just looked at me like they were pissed off. The changes this has brought about are strange and uncomfortable. I feel like crying a lot, but I don’t. I think if I did, I’d feel better.

The tears were spontaneous. I was very tired and it just happened. Luckily I was with a friend who showed me to a quiet place. Otherwise I would have gone back to the car and driven home! How strange the mind is. But I was in flight not fight mode x

I totally feel you. We just lifted the mask requirement for the customers in my store, I can’t tell you how much anxiety I’ve had, even though I am double-masked and wear gloves, I can’t handle it.

Hopefully things will get back to normal, but I’m very risk averse now x
