Trudy I SO love this idea.. I am trying to learn about pandemics to help me understand their cycle. I would love to share positive news but I came seem to find much and when I do see 1 positive thing I've also seen many terrifying things as well. 

How are you weeding out the positive info?

I usually Google good covid updates worldwide or something like that and skim through articles

Also, way to try to help out with Health Anxiety.  You might want to try different tactics to soothe folks other than an apocalyptic prognostication.  This is the Anxiety Central Health Anxiety board, is it not?  Not the The End is Near, Run for the Hills board.  People come here for comfort.

Yes ty that just flared me right up

hi all i have a idea that I would like to share lately I have been on a news fast no news on any of my social media or TV. I have started to look for positive covid updates from around the world. Like restrictions being lifted and no new cases being reported in weeks or survivor's numbers going up. I look at it like this if other countries got it before the USA did and they are already seeing positive changes, and we are behind  them by a few wks we shouldnt be that far behind. I think I read that so. Korea is doing much much better  as well as China so if any of you see or hear of any good advancements being made feel free to share in here it would really help me lift my spirits mentally as well as each others. We have to look for a light of hope please help me look. I really hope this takes iff and you guys like the idea Love yall

No need to apologize I ramble too its better to get it out I fear everyday that i will get it i have just been put on kolonopin and lexapro to go with my buspirone to help me calm down my ocd and health anxiety is ruling me 24/7 that's why I only look for positive covid stories like countries overcoming it. Can you get out and go for walks or is their a friend you trust to open up too. Trust me you are not alone at all

I have been on buspirone for decades I had been on lexapro for just as long. I stopped the lex back in the fall I was taking 30mg of it but I am so freaked about our current situation my Dr. Called me in .5 mg of kolonopin and 10 mg of lex the kol. Is only until the lex builds back up in my system.

Something that has been helping a little bit is reading about past pandemics, I think what comforts me is that they came to an end. 

That sounds kind of scary but I am curious  are you reading them to see the positive turn around?

I saw this bit of good news I like you are only looking for good reports I know that China and Korea are weeks ahead of us and are doing much better now

True but at least that's good for 24 hrs I am grasping at all positive bits of info because if the US got it last or close to last that means other countries turn a rounds will be before ours so we should see hope soon I hope and pray

Do you take anything

Hi I am new here been hanging around for a few days I have ocd health anxiety. I took my 1st kolonopin and lexapro tonight and I feel like I'm a lil jittery I keep waking up. Maybe it keys up your anxiety in the beginning. I am just so nervous I keep nodding off and jumping up out of my sleep
