The anxiety and depression are the worst thing for me, especially with Covid and not really being able to see people. Gives me too much time to think!

@kimestes, You are not alone with the waiting and feeling miserable. I remember that the clock seemed to slow down as I watched the minutes and days pass ever so slowly. I tried to remain positive by focusing on one day at a time, and relying on my faith and friends for strength.

Here are some possible ways for you to fill up your alone time, and to support others at the same time.
- Just Want to Talk - You will find discussions where you can enjoy a brief escape from medical talk. What are some of your interests: Recipes? Journaling? Sharing a laugh? Pets? The list is endless, so I invite you to scroll thru these discussions and read and join in anywhere. If you want to direct a question or a comment, you should add their @name just like I used @kimestes at the beginning of this reply. You are not alone.
