Hello everyone,

I've opened this discussion so we can share our state of mind during this period of isolation! emoticon bye

Let's come here everyday to share how we're feeling!

What is the best way to stay positive and keep your spirits up? emoticon question

If we come together as a community and support one another, the time will fly by!

Here's a video that made me smile today emoticon laugh :

Feel free to share anything that makes you laugh below!

Take care,

Courtney

Sure - it's no problem. Wish I could share them with everyone who has emphysema. 1) Cough a number of times to clear your lungs - three times works for me but some of you might need more. Take a shallow breath, then throw your shoulders back as if you're trying to get your elbows to meet behind your back, remain in that position and exhale. Remain in that position and take a deep breath, try to hold it for the count of at least 5 but up to 10 if you can do it. Then forceably exhale with a slight cough, then relax your shoulders. You should then be able to breath normally at least for a little while.2) Thump your sternum as if you were doing CPR on yourself, forcing a cough with each thump and taking a shallow breath between thumps. Doing this three to five times in succession should enable you to then take a normal breath and continue to breathe properly.3) Spread your arms outward and upward as if you were an operatic singer reaching for the highest notes, taking a deep breath with each arm movement and coughing (you probably won't be able to avoid coughing with this exercise anyway). Three repeats should enable you to breathe normally (that does it for me) but you may need more.

I've been pretty stressed lately, especially now that the stay at home orders are starting to end. I'm worried about how it's going to affect my health since so many people are carriers. Trying to not get too much in my head about it and focus on other things going on in my life, my friends, family, pop culture, etc. Trying to keep myself distracted. Hope you're all ok and staying safe.

@fairy_ I understand this feeling. My state is starting to open everything up again but I think i'm going to stay in a little longer because I'm not sure of what's going to happen. But overall I've been pretty positive. I was really feeling stressed a few weeks ago but as we've rolled into May and the weather has gotten nicer my mood has improved.

Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

If you haven't already seen it, we've started a new challenge: Who's behind the face mask?

All of Carenity's community managers took a photo of themselves in their face masks, so we're playing a little guessing game to lighten the mood!

You can find the challenge just here: Challenge: Who's behind the face mask?

Feel free to join in on the fun!

Take care,

Courtney

Thank you for providing us with support in these difficult times and thank the oncologists who treat us with respect and compassion. I advise any man facing prostate cancer to avoid urologists and go directly to oncologists.

-that job, not any job is woth your life. Unles you are sure that you will be safe, and your job is esscienceale, then quit, take a leave of absence, doe what ever possible to stay healthy. they are offering unemployment no questions asked, go file for that right away and or find a new job, especially for those like yourself, find a job where you do not come into contact with the general public. there are 1,000's of jobs that you can do alone, maybe lonely but is healthier now, and that is what is important. Work you can do at home even, spend more time with those you love if possible.

I hope everyone is ok, I'm feeling a bit better now that I can go out more, but I'm still worried about a second wave. How is everyone else feeling?

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since we checked in! emoticon cute

Lots of things have changed or evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the US.
How are you doing now? Are you coping mentally and emotionally? What has helped you to stay strong?
