Corona and other diseases

For my dad, it took about 12 hours for the body ache to start. My mom started to feel the symptoms about 6 hours after the shot. I heard it takes about 48 hours for things to go back to normal though.

Maybe we can get back from lunch before they start. LOL.

If it was up to me, I’d say then kick them out.

Not bad if it’s available for the whole population by then.

Sucks to see this. I got my second shot on Friday. My arm was sore for 24 hours but I feel good.

I wouldn't give them the option of refusing. It's a health and safety issue. They don't get to decide. Present them with the facts and then a syringe. Problem solved.

I got my second shot of the Moderna vaccine Friday morning. I had (and still do) a sore arm, a very bad headache, was very tired yesterday and today, and there's a little bit of discoloration at the injection site.

My fiancée got it a couple of weeks ago and it hit her hard enough that she was down for an entire weekend.

We're both excited that in two weeks time we'll have the full vaccine protection, and we're hoping enough people get one of these vaccines quickly enough for this pandemic to get over with sooner rather then later.

I'm glad for you too. Did you call and double check to make sure everything seems okay with the Doc? Hope the side effects go away shortly. My wife had some of that, but not too bad. She called and was assured that everything was on track and it gave her some comfort to know that. Take care, relax, and get well.

Quarantine along with most of 2020 ****ed me up. I lost a classmate from middle and high school, failed my second semester of college, nearly almost killed myself for about 20 seconds (does it still count as an attempt if I backed out?), and now have to accommodate two parents in separate households.

The Superherohype Forums and my own perceived friends I made while physically on campus saved my life. I still have thoughts about going through with it but at least this gives me something to find value in.

Dude...

Reaching out for help is good.

It's the first step but you gotta do it in your offline life in some official capacity.

Find a way to get some counseling from a mental health professional of some type, perhaps something offered through your school?

This period while it will reverberate through history is just a moment in a long infinite line stretching from long before you were born and will continue long after you and I are gone. The world seems a long gray stretch of such right now, but... It's been through long periods of gray suck before. From the jump I've told people to go back into history and look up the details of the Spanish Flu of 1918. It wasn't just a year. It was close to two years of living with that as a reality. Perspective. That's not to make light of what you feel and what we are all going through but it shows that these eras come to an end.

But I know that can sound like mindless "There's so MUCH to live for" rah-rah happy talk that people who are in a depressed place don't put a lot of stock in but it is the truth. And if one feels that they are falling behind peers or family at a young age, the unhappy truth is... Sometimes given ones circumstances just surviving is indeed a noble fight, so don't let your current perception of where you are or where you think you are going to plateau in the rat race take up any mental real estate.

But if you are serious about your issues, then while friends and online activity is fine to help you maintain balance in the short term, long term if you are being honest about self harm then you need to talk to someone on a professional level. And there's no shame in that. You me and the guy down the street aren't the heroes of legend... We're human beings who get battered by life in a million ways. Asking for some help isn't weakness or somehow inherently negative.

@KRYPTON INC. I've been to therapy before for panic attacks I was having mainly in third and fourth grade. I don't have the money for therapy and I don't really want my parents involved. I need that kind of disconnection, the same type of disconnection where you vent to your friends rather than parents; feels more genuine to me that way.

Suffice to say, this is enough for me at the moment although I have considered going back to therapy.

You will do what you want of course.

But if you are at a place where suicide has even half heartedly been attempted then it is obvious... Friends and online activity is not enough, regardless of how "authentic" in comparison to something else it might seem, just saying.

To be fair that happened back in June. Hopefully it's out of my system; the thoughts still pop up but I don't have the energy to truly physically act on them.

Very good sign.

Sorry to hear mate and I’m glad the Hype is helping. If you get any of those worse feelings though as @KRYPTON INC. mentioned you’re likely to need external help as well. Feel free to reach out if needed. Hopefully things will start improving as the year goes on and people can start rebuilding their lives.
