I just got back from my first dose at a clinic, there were lots of people there. I was feeling a little emotional thinking about everything and how crazy it is that they actually made a vaccine, but I was holding it together. I was grateful for my mask since it hid most of my face.
When it was my turn, the RN was very nice and seemed concerned that I was nervous. When I told her I was fine and she asked “are you sure?” I tried to tell her how I was feeling and I just broke down and started crying. I could tell she was professional and prepared for that and she helped me through it, no big deal.
I’m a man in my mid 30s and I’ve only seen another dude crying in public once. Not embarrassed, I’m actually happy that I can feel stuff and appreciate that things seem to be getting better. So many times last year it felt like the literal end of the world.
I just wonder if others had a similar experience? If you got the shot, what kind of thoughts or emotions did you have at the time?
