Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@scruffypuffball  A huge Well Done for dealing with the last 2 years' worth of papers! Especially when you felt so triggered.

I had my N95 on the whole time.  People stare but I dont care.  They wont be there to help me when I get sick, or pay my bills...


I can so relate to this!!

 

I too wear my mask everywhere. Well, I don't always wear it at work, if no-one's sick, as I find it hard to see through my glasses with the mask on. But I've been wearing it at work lately due to the Covid hitting. 

 

Good luck with clearing your desk at home, before you go back to work...

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover @chibam maybe you could write a position description for a psychosocial therapist.  Maybe some of it would look like what @tyme does on the forums.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@Dimity  You're up early! Lovely to see you 🙂 Hope you are OK... 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover I'm so glad you have working electrics in the bathroom.  Well done.

Things went a bit downhill in seeing the specialist and its aftermath and I spent the night in Emergency. 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

OMG @Dimity  😮 OMG 😢

Are you home? Are you safe? 

 

Sending care ❤️

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thanks @NatureLover yes I'm home and safe . Got home a little while ago. Very cold morning.  I'll try to get some sleep after I've contacted the specialist. Just waiting for her rooms to open.

 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thank goodness @Dimity  ❤️

 

I hope you can get some sleep after you contact the specialist. I'm sorry that the appt yesterday was so distressing 😢

 

Sending hugs and ❤️

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover thanks... yes distressing but medical not mh.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Ah, OK...so you weren't in Emergency overnight for MH? @Dimity 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

@NatureLover no it wasn't for MH. I got stopgap treatment overnight, and think tomorrow after follow-up from the specialist I'll be told I need surgery. I'm being shunted between hospitals at the moment so it's a bit piecemeal. Hopefully my new gp will help me navigate it.
