Roommate ignores travel ban

...See more Hey again, so last year in December I traveled to Canada and moved into this room a girl rented out because she was traveling as well. I didn't plan on staying here this long but after the lockdown I was kind of stuck but glad to be able to stay after she returned home as well. We still don't know each other very well but got along so far. She told me a lot about her boyfriend who lives in New York and how much she misses him. Two days ago she told me she had booked a flight to the US on Saturday and she is going to try and cross the border even though it's closed. Apperantly it's possible when you go by plane.. Anyways, she's going to come back 10 days later and since the travel ban got extended to the end of July for now, she will have to self-isolate. And I will have to do that too. Not only am I going to have to cancel my shifts at work, but I will also be stuck in this small little room for 14 days (again..). I still don't feel at home here and just thinking about being locked in like this again gives me anxiety. I have been falling asleep and waking up shaking the past few days but I don't know what to do.. I can't tell her to stay out of her own apartment afterall and I can't expect my friend to let me stay at his house for 2 weeks either.. I feel trapped and everything feels out of control.. Anyone have ideas on how to get through this? I'm at a loss.. I can only hope they will turn her away..

Am I being paranoid or reasonably concerned about my health?

...See more Hey again, so lately I've been struggling a lot with the fear of getting sick or something really bad happening.. I started getting paranoid over the smallest little symptom such as a mild headache, dizziness, etc. So yesterday my left arm and neck started hurting really badly and went numb and weak. I called a health care Hotline and they told me to call an ambulance because I was describing stroke like symptoms. I went to the hospital and they ran some tests on me. They couldn't find anything stroke or tumor related. However, they couldn't quite tell me where my symptoms were coming from. Last night I was shaking very badly, it was almost impossible to fall asleep.. And today the left side of my face feels numb too.. I've read that numbness in the face can come from stress but that's only one of the many many causes for this symptom.. Am I being paranoid? Or reasonably concerned? Has anyone ever dealt with anything similar before?

Being alone with overwhelming emotions

...See more Hi there, I'm still new here on 7 Cups but I thought I'd try to make a post like this too.. So with everything going on I find it really hard lately to deal with my emotions. I know that I should let them have their space, and that it's important to feel emotions as they come. But I can't simply feel emotions, I always try to find a solution to whatever caused said emotion. It's difficult to share all that with my friends because I feel bad for always dumping everything on them, especially in a time that is hard on everyone.. I don't know where to put my emotions and I'm terrified of them overwhelming me without having any kind of control over them.. On top of that I'm just super lonely, want to be with my friends and feel deeply alone with my thoughts. Anyone else have that issue? How do I know when I've given my emotions enough space? How do I help myself get through these times on my own?
