I'm really upset about the new mask rules. I have had one dose of a pfizer vaccine but my OCD won't let me get a second one (scared of blood clots and the other terrible side effects known or unknown). I don't want people to not wear masks because how do we know if they were vaccinated for sure or not? Either way I'm keeping my mask on. I just know this is going to be a huge trigger for me and it will be tough going in to work and other simple places like grocery stores with people who have no mask on 😪😭 idk what to do.

Your OCD won’t let you? It’s you succumbing to your OCD. If you had the first dose, you should 100% get the second one or else it won’t be very effective.

Yeah I'm going to. It will just be really tough. Thats why I got the first one. Because I didn't let my fears stop me. I knew it was aligned with my values to get one so I did. Now I just got to overcome this next.
