I have stopped thinking about the COVID situation and I am rarely feeling good in myself. I feel more alive. The usual pursuits of living are now full of people’s thoughts about this COVID disease. All sorts of restrictions are happening that keep bringing back thoughts of being fearful of the COVID. It causes me to feel very unsettled. The continued conflicting information being given to people have left me with only one way out and that is not to think about it.
I can get worried about the information, because there is not any way that I can get access to the facts that prove what is being said. If I could see the proof of the facts instead of just being told the facts there would be no need for worrying about the statistics and projections.
People have always been dying from illness of some kind, recorded history tells us. People are even saying that if I don’t follow the advice being given, I am contributing to the spread of illness. That’s like me saying it’s someone else’s fault if I am ill, when it’s my body that accepted the illness, that’s my responsibility.
Doctor, can you provide the physical facts that I can access that will prove to me everything being said about the COVID.
