Hi everyone I am so stressed I am scared of covid. My husband wants to go play golf and I'm worrying he will bring it home. My adult Daughter lives with us hasn't had the covid vaccine. I am waiting for some test results and are worried about them too. I don't want him to go.

Can I ask a question? During the last 18 months, have any of you actually took any measures to boost your immune system? For example, taking supplements (Vits c & D3, zinc, selenium etc) or even consuming extra garlic or pre- and pro-biotics. Rather than piling your supermarket trollies with beer, wine and gin along with ready meals and junk food.

You can get many of the vitamins you need from a healthy diet.
Not everyone eats junk food all the time.

The OP is suffering with covid related anxiety and needs help with that.

polnan the advise I gave was good unless you have a very suppressed immune system then going out or a husband going out should not cause you so much fear and upset
contact the gp surgery? all doc will do is give a prescription for some pills, that are habit forming,, addictive! and just make one into a zombie... that is what usually happens here
That would not be helpful, are you in U.K. ? it’s certainly not that easy to get tablets from the GP in my experience, a few years ago I asked my Gp if he could give me a calming tablet to take before a very difficult tooth extraction and was refused as ‘they could be habit forming’
In this instance a doctor could put the poster in touch with a metal Heath nurse or a counsellor or offer some talking therapy because what has happened is this lady has gone into a heightened state of anxiety and it’s very hard to get out of that without professional help

Where is Nanderin?

Eating ready meals and drinking gin apparently. Effalump has outed her as the beer aisle clearer in her part of Sheffield

Wow, bit judgemental effalump, we don’t all drink and stuff our faces with junk food either, I certainly don’t! You can get many vits you actually need from eating healthily, totally agree with AGAA4s post, you sound very anxious Nanderin, Hope the test results contain good news, best wishes to you

Perhaps that is what Effalump is doing herself and she is just assuming that is what everybody else does.
