You seem like you’re already doing everything you can to treat your symptoms. As Kolanaki said, there is no cure for the common cold. I’d continue getting as much rest as you can before your vacation. My colds usually take atleast 7-10 days to fully go away and that’s with proper rest. Sometimes I’ve gotten lucky and only had symptoms for a few days. If you have a sore throat, throat coat tea helps as well.
It’s crazy to think it’s been that long. I thought it’d be harder to fully switch from Reddit to here but I’m finding that I’m enjoying my time here WAY more then the 8 years I was on Reddit. I tried scrolling through Reddit a few days ago and it just didn’t feel the same as usual so I went ahead and fully removed the app. I’m happy to be here ☺️
If I’m in panic mode, I focus on being fully present without thoughts. So if I’m home, I might start to clean, or make tea or just any activity that I can wholly focus on without thinking about what I’m doing. When I’m not in a panic, deep breathing usually helps. I try to meditate throughout the week when I’m not anxious to help with practicing staying present when the panic and anxiety does come.
Totally understandable, it’s been really nice to see communities grow in engagement. Just something else I love about the site! Looking forward to it 😊
LOL the funny thing is, I use to THRIVE online when I was younger and barely talked in school because of social anxiety. Now I’m older and have a bit less social anxiety in rl but SO MUCH online. I have no idea how or why it happened like this 🤣
This is the first time I’ve heard of the term revenge travel. “When people seek to escape the monotonous routine that has emerged as the "new normal" in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic.”
New video games and books lol. Also, my husband and close family members--I like seeing people I love happy and look forward to the time I have with them since life is short.
