“I lied and said I was busy.
I was busy;
but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.

I am at high risk of getting a severe case of the Corona virus because my immune system is compromised due to my TRAPS disorder. I know many on here who also are in the same boat as me because of their age or pre-existing health conditions. I am going to put myself in lock down starting today, leaving house only for essentials such as doctor appointments, or picking up prescriptions.
