Hang in there! I totally understand about the weekly testing for covid. It does sound like it would be stressful for anyone. At my job the ones that did not get vaccinated have to wear masks. And where we punch in with our badges we have to answer a yes or no question if we had symptoms of covid.

Got an email from my US House representative asking to support an outlaw on vaccination passports. The backlash against safety is astounding to me. Wear a mask if you haven't been vaccinated or get vaccinated. Do it for your coworkers and family. My brother-in-law's father died when they got sick from their daughter coming over without a mask and no vaccination. I get you want freedom, but being smart and doing things responsibly is how you earn freedom. We lock people up every day for something as little as smoking a little pot in my state, but God forbid you even ask someone to wear a mask or get vaccinated. Who's freedom is allowed and who's isn't. I can't go out naked without getting arrested. What's the f*ing difference?

Welcome! This website helped me lose weight by eating low-carb. I was able to stay off meds for diabetes2 and got off blood pressure meds. You can do it! Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear about the burdens being placed on you in the work place due to the COVID upsurge. It must make things even more stressful. Really wish that insurance companies would refuse coverage to anyone eligible for the vaccine that willfully refuses it. They should bear the full burden of their ignorance.

Today, at work, it was announced that everyone is required to get vaccinated. Some people are upset and ready to lose their job. I will be sad if they have to leave. More stress added 😞

You might take a look at the TED Talk "How to Make Stress your Friend" https://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend

It helped me to reframe the concept of stress and see it as a potential super power. That said, you can't be in a pressure cooker forever. Talk to your bosses honestly. Let them know you are giving it your all, but that you are only human and will not be treated like a disposable asset to be used up and thrown away. Companies need to hear that from employees. With everyone looking for good workers, I'm sure you would not have trouble finding a different situation of things got too rough. Good luck and let us know what happens. The next chapter is yet to be written....

PS for the record I'm glad companies are standing up to the whiny pants babies who selfishly think that "Freedom" supercedes the rest of societies right to protect itself as a whole. My husband is a doctor who luckily just reads the x-rays of these morons with their "glassy" lungs and does not have to interact directly with them. But I know a lot of nurses who care for COVID patients and they are FED UP with this ignorant nonsense. Plus I don't give a FIG if they die, but they are taking down the economy as well as a lot of innocents who can't get vaccinated.

@Apache, dying from Covid is horrific!! I studied viruses and you need to stay six feet away from those that carry it, like they said. Great barrier!! It is a heavy virus and doesn’t float in the air, or spray far. Yet, if one is fully vaccinated it doesn’t keep them from carrying the virus so still keep your distance.
Just be cautious and I am glad you’re taking it seriously as those that do not may infect others even if they are vaccinated. Scary! 😟
