How are you all managing COVID anxiety for the little ones?

My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and we know kids seem to not be impacted much by it, but it still feels irresponsible to go back to “normal” if it means putting them at risk.

We are operating back at normal just making sure we socially distance when in public and diligent about washing hands. Otherwise life is full of risks and this is just another one.

This is maybe a little off topic but does anyone else feel like, mad anxiety about using/purchasing/receiving any kind of physical good? I’m kind of like the opposite of a pack rat and get really uncomfortable about consumption of any kind — I think it’s a combination of living in a tiny apartment and environmental/waste production factors that I feel guilty about

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

And what should I say other than she is still treating?

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.
