I got near constant underlying anxiety. I feel my body tensing up from time to time. Living alone for months with no social contact takes a toll too.

I wear a mask and face shield and distance when I go out. I do my best to cover my ass. Go to get meds,groceries mostly. Had to hit Lowe's and PetSmart a couple of times. Miss going to the craft store tho.

Been doing art to escape the anxiety. Walking or other motion based meditations because sitting meditations make the anxiety worse.

I got diabeties,over weight but not as bad as I used to be,lost a good amount, high blood pressure that sometimes drops suddenly, and allergies.

At least 3 risk factors

So if I catch it it could get really bad.
