Covid Survivor – The Journey To Start Living Again

Trudean Haye

Where do I start… Honestly, it’s been a rough few months.  On Saturday, September 3rd 2021 I came into contact with someone who was sick as I result I ended up in the hospital and was tested positive for COVID-19.  This is my journey to start living again. On Thursday September 9th, 2021, I started not feeling well. I have allergies, so naturally I thought my allergies were affecting me. Not to mention my cycle had started, so I really wasn’t feeling well.

Mommy Separation Anxiety

Mommy Separation Anxiety

I have separation anxiety. Honestly, I never thought I would experience it. Before the pandemic I was ready to dive back into childcare work full-time with a newborn baby. I was offered a job 3 weeks postpartum and I was ready to go. But I guess even then I had it and didn’t really realize it. It wasn’t until Phoenix was 4 months old that I realized I had separation anxiety. I think a big part of it stems from not trusting anyone with him because they didn’t understand and still don’t understand who his dad and I are as people and they do not understand my culture.
