Anyone ever feel weird or awkward around their crush’s family?

Anonymous wrote:
I had fun. It’s just I don’t know why I was even invited. Like if he didn’t like me, what was the point of him even reaching out to me? That’s what I don’t understand.

I get it, and that's why I asked the question.

I guess what I am saying is there isn't always a real reason to people's actions...or maybe there is but it's best not to dwell on it. I think we have all been in circumstances like this and it's easy to think oneself into a black hole.

But I'm trying to say that in more of an optimistic way, like it could be they wanted your company for the day....it's not really all that weird to consider. Not to make assumptions but I've had moments in my life where I had a low self esteem and I also asked myself things like "Why would someone do X unless they wanted to give me a smooch" and sometimes the answer really isn't that. They just liked my company or wanted to do x y or z thing.

They should have just left me alone.

You said you had fun in your original post, no? You shouldn't regret that, even if it didn't end up leading to anything. You did nothing wrong and I don't think they did either. Sometimes things just don't work out.

Got it.
You are very lucky you are ok. And your whole family made it.
Very scary.

Honestly, as far as for me...I am in my early thirties and I do not have any major health issues so I wasn't really super afraid...the shortness of breath WAS a bit scary but I felt more safe after I was able to get the inhaler. My mom seemed to be handling well too, even though she is in her late sixties.


More scared for my dad because he's over 60 and has underlying health issues that COVID seem to make worse. The doctors were concerned he might go into cardiac arrest at least one point during the hospitalization. He's fine now, though.

Did the motrin help with the achs

Yes. HOWEVER Motrin is Ibuprofen and my dr advised to me that ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatories, are not preferable in this case. The concern is that anti-inflammatories wmay prevent inflamation that your body uses to try and slow down the spread of the virus in your body...or something like that.

However, this is not proven, and like I said, I used Motrin and I was fine. I would have used Tylenol instead but I have a liver issue and have been advised by my dr not to take Tylenol. And that was the only two choices I had, so....

Weirdly I hardly coughed at all during my ilnness...like literally maybe once or twice. I did sneeze a bunch at certain points, as I mentioned.

My mom though DID cough a lot, especially at night, drove her crazy.

If you think you are ok for now:

Being that you've had the dry cough for over 2 months, I suspect that would not be related to COVID if you have it...it would be odd if you caught it that soon, and even more odd if it lasted that long. I guess it's not impossible though, no one knows everything about COVID and it's different for everyone.

The chest pain might be related to the cough but it worries me a little...see my comment above.

The other stuff sound like flu-like symptoms and could definitely be COVID. They say to take Tylenol or Day/Nyquil for the fever (acetaminophen products).

Thank you lano.
Well I had a dry cough for over 2 months.never have I coughed so much ever. I had the chest pain but still could breath.
Im sneezing all the time. I have a mild fever right now.
Very very tired all the time.
I look like hell. All flushed and white.
And the achy pain is like I got beat up.
Oh and loose stools.
I dont know what it is but its not going away.
I hope it isnt the coronavirus.
What do you think?

I am not a medical professional and cannot in good conscience give you anymore advice without first saying: PLEASE first thing tomorrow morning call your doctor and check with them. Until then, if:

a. The chest pain is bad or
b. You feel like you are having trouble breathing, or
c. Your temp is dangerously high

You should probably go to a walk-in clinic if there is one open by you or the ER.

Here is an article on whether or not you should go to the hospital with COVID symptoms: https://www.today.com/health/when-should-you-go...

Have you ever heard of the game Taboo? I played over zoom with my gf's family just now. It was a little awkward because we couldn't really check eachother to make sure they weren't hitting the taboo words but we used this site and just did the honor system:

Also there is this fun game codenames...we were gonna try it but didn't get to but you can do it over skype or zoom, you'd have to have one person screenshare:

@Lano

While people may not directly be claiming the satistics are perfect, behaviour speaks louder than words and pressuring people into lockdon is behaviour suggestive that the statisics are reliable or valid.

Whoa, hold on a second...there is a difference between saying that some mistakes are being made and saying that the statistics aren't reliable or valid. Even if 50 percent are wrong, that's over 30,000 people dead. The numbers are probably not off by nearly that much. There is DEFINITELY a good reason for the lockdown.

Somme people are commiting suicide. One man already did and i have growing concerns tha a friend of mine might take their life eventually.

My best friend is another i have had concerns about and not being able to go out is not helping his mental health with bipolar. He cant play he drums cos the neighbours upstairs are not at work so his body it in more pain.

H strugglees to cope because they are pretty much his life and help calm him down when he is struggling and he has quite afew mental health problems and his mam died afew months back and he doesnt really have many friends.

It is really hard. I won't argue with that.

Remember something though. We are suffering...but our suffering is literally saving people's lives. You are protecting someone with your suffering. Of all the meaningless, rotten suffering that we get in this life, this is one case where we KNOW our suffering serves a higher end. To me, that is worth it.

I would encourage you to reach out to this person when you can to make sure he knows someone is thinking about him. That is how we get through this, by supporting eachother.
