Stressed Mouse

Thank you so much. You definitely made me feel less alone. Even if they do take extra precautions, though, they will still have to go to work. My dad works at a computer place where everyone is touching the same computers, and my mom works at a daycare with germy one year olds. Again, thank you.

Hey I felt the same way,and do you want to know what made me feel better, go to YouTube and type in some good news

Thanks 😏

This is really important. Everyone, especially those at-risk, needs to speak up and remind people to consider everyone's needs as we plan to re-open the country.

The economy can be rebuilt, but lives lost cannot be regained.

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you consider posting it to "politics" or some similar stream, where people considering this question could use a dose of empathy. Although it's a personal story, so I could understand why you might not want to do that.

We're here for you :)

Thanks, Kylie 😏
It is a bit personal to post in politics. (And I don't really have the mental capacity to argue with adults lol)
Thank you so much for your empathy! All I've been hearing when I bring this up is selfish people that don't care in other streams. I'm glad to know that I have really created a safe place.

Yeah, I’m glad none of the toxic Flippers come around here — and if they ever do, you’re well within your rights as a Mod to delete any hateful or discouraging comment. I hope more stream Mods across ImgFlip step up and start to have this attitude, and I think they are.

I saw this on FB recently and thought of you and your family. Might post this one to the “repost” stream.

Thank you for the picture. That actually kinda hit hard, though. The guy with high blood pressure looks just like my dad, and he has high blood pressure.

And I think this stream has a wonderful set of MODs. We definitely don't tolerate any toxicity.

And I will definitely post that in repost :)

I just submitted it to repost about 5 seconds ago haha. ;)

Neeeeeevermind then. I guess that the safety of people is an... advertisment...?

Not cool! Mine is still up... I think that might be an auto-nonfeature because an identical meme was recently submitted.

Maybe. But hey! The message still gets up!

Haha

We don't need social distancing,we need physical distancing.

I know who it feels I had something wrong with my lungs and my dad has a thing also

That is just awful. I don't understand how people can just be thinking about the economy when there are people who can die of this virus. Thank you for making me feel less alone.

Hi Pirate_RoryPig, I'm sorry this is happening to you.

If you feel you must leave this stream then that's perfectly fine. As listeners and psychological healers we have to also care for ourselves.

I underwent training as in what was called "Psychological First Aid"; its where you enter into ground zero of a disaster area, or meet someone who've experienced a traumatci event and try to help them as best you can by being there, listening, and if you detect certain signs that needs professional intervention, you refer them to the professionals.

As time goes on, when you hear of so much tragedy it could have a profound effect on you. When you become affected, you need to take time off. Or when you're feeing you're getting burnt out, you need to do the same. And when it comes to your family, you need to put them first.

Just to clarify, I am not leaving the stream. But thank you for that advice, because I hope to be a psychologist one day and that is very good to know. When I said "I needed to get that out" I was referring to my emotions that I was trying to repress. Again thank you so much. I am so grateful for you, Victor!

Oh I'm so sorry, i've misread your words!

No, you're fine. Just knowing that someone is here for me is so powerful
