Pandemic Social Isolation, a familiar feeling

Some of you with chronic illness will relate. When you are forced to stay home due to your illness, cannot make long range plans, often forced to cancel last minute. 

People do not want to stand too close to you just in case it is contagious.  

Assholes talk behind your back, “do you think he has it?"

Say insensitive comments, "Looks like he had a stroke" or "He’s so full of shit.” 

Your usual support network is cut off, spending days, weeks, even months at home. Anxiety. Depression. Fear. Loneliness.  

POST PANDEMIC and the world gets the green light to go.


After the pandemic your life goes back to ‘normal’ which is pretty much how it’s been during the pandemic. Only getting out to go to doctors or pharmacy. Phone calls are trying to get prescriptions covered or make doctor appointments. 


And there are those lists. "If you make a list, it might be easier to accomplish things". I'll add that to my list right now.
