#please self quaratine

You're literally the only valid Hetalia writer I've ever seen. For the times, can we PLEASE get how the axis (+Prussia and Romano) would act in self quaratine? It's been almost nine weeks for me, and I'm just about losing it. Thank you!!!
Omg pleaaase don’t say I’m the only valid one! I’m certanly not (seeing as though I literally said fuck it and haven’t posted in a year) But thank you so much you make me soft :,) 
Also, I hope nobody takes me writing about the countries experiences in quaratine as insensitive. Italy’s is a little more detailed just because I was there (and had to return home) just as the virus broke out, and most of my family is still over there. We’re all in this together! 
Germany 
He honestly doesn’t hate self quarantine as much as everyone expects him to. He’s done nothing but work his ass off for over two hundred years- a little break isn’t going to do him any harm. 
He leaves his house in Berlin for his cottage in Cochem. For him, it’s the ideal place to spend by himself for a few weeks- not a lot of people, very little noise, just a little house, a big plot of land, and his dogs. It’s healthy for him. 
While he tells himself he’s going to use his time for himself, he’s worried sick. When he heard about the devastation in Italy, he couldn’t sleep for two days worrying about the wellbeing of his friend, and even South Italy, knowing most of his population was elderly. 
So, like a doting father, Germany calls North Italy once a day, every day, until the death toll falls in his region. Don’t judge him, worrying can be theraputic to him. 
North Italy 
He locks himself in his apartment in Milan, and refuses to leave. Even when his brother invites him down to Naples, which is a safer area, he absolutely refuses to leave his apartment. 
Why? He can’t really get all that sick himself- human illnesses don’t effect him. What he can’t stand to see is devistation. You would think after several hundred years of war and loss, all countries would be used to the loss of their people. Noth Italy isn’t. He physcially and mentally can’t bring himself to step outside to see anything. 
He opened the curtains once just to see empty streets, and an empty courtyeard infront of the Duomo. Nothingness and being alone is his biggest fear. 
Though, as the death tolls drop, people start singing out of their apartment windows and he learns more about life coming back to the canals in Venice, he opens up a lot more. He opens the curtains, wakes up in the AM rather than the PM, and plants flowers outside his windowsill. He’s been through enough to know that tragedy doesn’t last forever. 
Japan 
Japan’s been in isolation for over two hundred years of his life- he can take a couple months of sitting inside his house in Otaru and relax for a while. But he doesn’t do this. 
Japan’s natural instinct would be to protect himself, his boss implored that he did and people expected it. However, he stayed at his residence in Tokyo, and went in every day to work with the front line officials to figure out ways to keep kids educated, people fed, and hospitals up and running. 
Japan promised to himself back then that he would no longer close himself off from the rest of the world, and he definitely was not going to close himself off to his people. 
Prussia
He doesn’t even realize that there’s a global pandemic until his brother tells him about it. Prussia’s been alive throughl so much, that he laughs. It’s about time that humanity goes through something like this again. No, he doesn’t think people deserve to suffer, of course he finds it terrible. But for him, it’s been a while since something huge and devistating has brought the entire world together. People were starting to lose their sympathy for others. 
His hardest decision is figuring out where to stay. He resides anywhere where pieces of the Berlin wall are preserved, and he almost decides on The United States, but figured Germany is the best place to stay. 
He shows up to Germany’s house in Cochem a week after Germany establishes there himself. He immidiately drives Germany crazy. Being stuck somewhere reminds him too much of the Berlin Wall days. Needless to say, he isn’t very cooperative at first. 
South Italy 
Much like his brother, South Italy is very weak willed when it comes to tragedy. While it really hit in his brothers parts more, South Italy is still enforced to stay inside all day- not even able to leave the house for a walk down the street. 
He very quickly drives himself insane. He can’t be alone with his head for too long or else he becomes irrationally angry and sensative about things he shouldn’t be. He starts calling his brother first, even if it’s usually the other way around. He calls Spain, hell, he even picks up phone calls from Germany- it’s become nice to hear his “stupid, ugly accent” on the other end. 
I’m not sure if countries can necessarily gain weight, but somehow, in quaratine, he does. All he really has to do is cook, so he breaks out his grandpa’s very, very old cookbook and starts working through that. Most of the recepies are named after girls, which isn’t surprising, really. He somehow manages to become an even better cook at the end of it all.

So one of the things i love doing is taking what i call a medicated bath. No this isn't something i go to the doctors for, or even go to the store for. Just a lil something i picked up on the way of life. These medicated baths vary on how i am feeling and what i'd like to accomplish for myself. I like to use herbs and many other fruits and vegetables to use throughout the bath to enhance my skin and hair. Self care is the first step into feeling beautiful no matter who or what anyone says you look like.
Just last night i gave my self a ginger soak. I was feeling down and out. Very pushed to my limits, and of course my anxiety was running wild. I ran my boyfriend a little nuts too lol. Dealing with Covid and of course just the dailies of life has been piling up and creating a muck. Its best i regroup.
First thing is to draw your bath with basic water. Whatever temperature you prefer. I like it HOT, as my body tends to naturally be cold, i have notoriously cold feet at all times of the year.
HOW I SOURCE MY BATH INGREDIENTS
You can source your materials however you prefer, but i am SUPER lazy and i like to just have whatever i need already at home. My method is also cost effect, literally costs you nothing. 
I use ginger root in my cooking, but any source of ginger should be fine as long as its natural and organic. When im using ginger i have to cut the outer skin off to use it. I do not throw away the ginger skins. I wash it, let it dry on a paper towel or a clean dish towel (while also finishing up my cooking for said meal). As im cleaning up i placed the now dried ginger into a jar (any recycled jar will do). Place it in the fridge until needed. You may also use this method to use in cooking.
So as the bath is being drawn, pop those ginger bits in a pot, add some water. Boil this just like that, you may add any other herbs of choice. I just like ginger on its own. You may turn off the heat once the bath is finished being drawn. Pour everything into the bath.
Tumblr media
Ginger Bath. Of course this is very basic and simple and seems like a no brainer. But for someone like me who refuses to be touched by strangers at say a spa. These are my little indoor luxuries. Also some people who have the priveledge of being home to quaratine and those who do not can both benefit from this. Ginger is a great source of vitamin C, magnesium (helps with sleep) and is a immune boosting food. Basic vitamins needed to combat most infectious diseases and virus'. It has a long history of being used in chinese medicine, so research away at your leisure.
While you can drink the ginger tea and recieve its benefits, your skin also naturally absorbs moisture all the time, as it is an organ (the biggest organ on the human body). This will greatly benefit those dealing with skin ailments as well. Winter or summer a ginger bath makes me feel like a new person. I love ginger for all of its many uses but one thing that strikes me the most is its vibrant smell. It naturally energizes you while also calms the mind. This tends to give me a nice buzz feeling to sort out my anxiety and other mental issues. No Ginger is not a psychedelic drug.
Of course, please do not ingest or submerge yourself in ginger should you be allergic. Research the pros and cons and the dosage amounts of anything before you attempt. This is harmless and very benefiticial should you take such actions. This does not seem to be a common allergy as Ginger is placed in most chinese dishes and other non asian cultural food cuisines.

🔥Schools across UK close and send pupils home to self-quarantine after Italy half-term trips🔥
The latest headlines in your inbox
Schools across the UK have closed and sent pupils home to self-quaratine following half-term trips to coronavirus-hit parts of Italy.
It follows new advice given by the country’s Chief Medical Officer on Tuesday which said that anyone returning from locked down areas of Italy should quarantine themselves regardless of whether they feel ill.
Two schools in Cheshire and one in Cornwall have since confirmed they have either closed or sent pupils home to self-isolate.
Italy has seen a surge in cases in recent days, with now at least 229 confirmed diagnoses and seven deaths, mainly centred in the Lombardy region.
Cransley School in Northwich, Cheshire, posted a lengthy statement on Facebook on Monday night.
In the post, the school’s headmaster Richard Pollock said he had been “called NHS clinical services advising me to ensure that the pupils and staff who visited Bormio last week self-isolate, regardless of whether they are showing symptoms of being unwell”.
He added: “This means non-attendance tomorrow and for the remainder of the week. All pupils who are unwell should inform NHS 111 and insist on being tested for the Coronavirus. 
“This is in advance of a forthcoming change in policy regarding UK residents returning from Italy.”
“During this time, the school will be able to conduct a deep clean, and monitor the results of tests amongst those pupils who are currently showing flu-like symptoms.”
Brine Leas School in Nantwich, Cheshire, tweeted: “We are currently following Government advice regarding travel to Italy. Further contact with parents will be made this morning.”
Penair School in Truro, Cornwall, wrote: “Following an announcement at 8am this morning, regarding the coronavirus, by the Health Secretary and having sought guidance from Public Health England we are required to send all children and staff home who attended the ski trip, to self-quarantine for 14 days.
“Please be assured this is a precautionary measure.
“If you are concerned about your child developing any symptoms please contact NHS 111.
“We will be writing to parents later today with a further update.”

i found out i can only take 14 credits for the entire summer and i need to take 17 for one session and 14 for the other.  im trying to graduate on time. i need to get the fuck out of school.  my only motivation to get through the next couples of months is weed. i dont know when this quaratine shit is going to be over.  i cant vacation.  i cant go to see the jhene concert i paid for.  i feel like a fucking rug was pulled from under me to reveal that im actually in a skyscraper with no floors.  ive felt like shit the past couple of days so im not fasting anymore but i want to continue fasting to lose weight.  i wanna call him just to be like can i see you one last time.  i like him but he doesnt like me i just need to remember all of the shit why its not going to work and go about my business.  i need to starting taking these meds again but i truly dont care for it.  that or birth control like what is the point. i keep telling myself its going to be a hot girl summer.  its not.  its going to be a celibate reading summer.  self care in my free time.  getting yelled at in my spare time because my parents dont respect me as a fucking person and now i have to live here for the next 3 months.  i didnt want to spend another fucking summer here and look.  like a fucking child.  i just want to be on my own.  its hard having to deal with someone breaking my fucking heart again. now i have to do it with these fuckers down my back every five seconds. i just wished people left me the fuck alone.  i have half a mind to just walk into the water and not come out. 
God please help me. Please.  im really losing it.  its like im not good enough for anyone.  not any boy ive liked.  not my mom.  not even myself.
i might be bipolar.  i was fine two seconds ago.  just enjoying life. i dont feel like life is beating me up at this point.  i feel like i just got tortured and im about to be shot in the head.  nothing and i literally mean not one fucking thing that i have for myself is going right.  i have to fix every fucking thing too. like i just got beat up and im supposed to go back for more like i dont want to i know how this shit is going to turn out.  me right back here. sad.  i dont ever get a damn break. im tired.  my body is tired.  my will is weak.  my spirit is dead and supposed to keep fighting.  i dont have anymore fight left i just want to fucking die.  i dont want to deal with any of this.  i dont want to face it.  i hate people because they just pass their judgements and take advantage of me and fucking disappoint me every time.  i need a break.  like a permeant break.  i need to rest
