Negative and fearful

Well it seems like its alright. Some people might even say 17 hours of socials is a good thing.

I know what you mean, though. It's hard to know when people are being too complacent about these things. Obviously there is such a thing as too complacent because we're in an international pandemic mode. "She'll be right" has its limits. Having said that, I myself can be a bit "nervous cluster" so, for want of a better conclusion, its a balance.

So, I won't say she'll be right. I will say I'm cautiously optimistic that your son just trying to heal from the fever, "chill" and preparing for future mid-pandemic night-work pressures. And, good thing he's got a mum who cares, just in case.

We all worry sometimes, it is a natural thing of the flesh to worry. So, though it can be hard to do, we are advised to realise that we are not in control, and to trust who is. Check out what God has to say about this issue of worrying about horrible things that we can not control, then believe what He says, and ask Him to help you to follow His word.

Gday @Dark_Olena, how's it going?

I understand your pissed-offednesss about cycling from A to Z in terms of moods and ability to deal with the world. I'm very familiar with that.

In terms of your worries about your son, I would recommend backing off a little. I understand completely your worry and concern about him and his situation, but maybe this is just a time to trust him and his ability to deal with sh*t.

He's obviously in a precarious situation with a lot to think about, but maybe the best thing you can do is give him the space to sort it out for himself, rather than adding to his stresses by sharing your worries.

Concern for your kids is a given. No-one would ever question you for feeling that, but sometimes you just gotta back off and trust them to manage themselves.

Hard? Sh*t yeah. Positive? Perhaps

Show your support for him, but let him live his life. That's what I reckon he would appreciate most from you.

Take it easy

Hi @Dark_Olena

I read that you are concerned about your son and COVID-19 and that is okay. Anxiety is a natural response especially in regards to the state of the world at the moment with COVID-19. Have you tried to contact a medical professional to discuss your concerns over the testing procedures? I do believe there should be a service or help line to call regarding this important health topic, so may be look that up in the internet as a contact. Maybe ring your GP and discuss your concerns with them?
In the meantime, maybe look at ways to ease your anxiety like some self care activities? I find reading and knitting to be helpful in times of stress.

Take care and stay safe.
