I have a letter from both my psychiatrist and asthma doctor. I am also on disability for my panic disorder. My mental health as suffered massively from being in my house for over 5 months. There is no excuse for anyone to harass someone else let alone me without knowing my reason. There is always exceptions. I have been through this conversation with many people and it is a shame people are unable to look at how it feels to be someone else or be in someone else’s shoes. I pray everyone who can’t see things from those of us with invisible disabilities never have to walk in our shoes or be us because I regular times it’s hard enough but during this it’s even harder. I can not explain to you how it feels and how many times I have woken up wishing I didn’t and how devastating that feeling is. Again it is NEVER ok for anyone to harass anyone else! |
It's not just about you and your problems, Taylor, what ever Maryland says about it. It's about caring for and looking after the other person, responsibility to our society who pays the taxes which fund your disability checks. CDC and WHO say mask wearing is essential to keep others safe from your and all our droplet-spread. I've quarantined since March, get my full exercise program in at home and wear masks, gloves and at times even eye shields when I must go to the doctor or stop by to order pizza twice, grocery store for 10 mins. once, careful to keep distance even masked and gloved.
If we keep having economic depression due to job loss, i.e. tax dollar losses, the government will reduce your disability benefits considerably as you can stay at home if you panic or tremble around others. Think of all the people you and other non-mask wearers could just exhale onto and pass along killer germs just because you didn't stay home. It's very little to ask considering those first responders out there working like dogs to try to care for all of the sick. We won't conquer this disease until we ALL get fully serious about quarantining from one another, masking, gloving up each and every time we go out. If it's an aerosolized germ, God help us. Please put this country's safety above yourself and think of those you could hurt w/out a mask. I know what a good-hearted person you are and respect you mightily for your defense and championing of dogs so just extend that big heart a bit for the sake of us humans.
