I thought it was just a sore throat initially. Even now it's been incredibly mild. At the beginning of all this I was so scared of getting sick, and here we are. I just got a rapid test a while ago and it came back positive. I took a pcr test yesterday, so I'll get the results for that but I have a feeling it wasn't a fluke. I guess I thought that since I was vaccinated I'd be okay. Mostly it's scary-- I still live with my parents and brother (I'm a high schooler) and I have a boyfriend I'll miss as well. I've been quarantining since yesterday but now I'm stuck in my own room for who knows how long. I can't even pet my cats. The alienation of being stuck here by myself, eating meals alone and feeling personally responsible for this is the worst part. It feels like my worst nightmare. All I can do is sit here, do class work from home and play video games or something. I want to keep everyone safe, and I will. It just sucks being a literal biohazard in your own home. 

Any suggestions for feeling less terrible about all this?
