One constant of these weird pandemic times is emotions.
People are finding themselves we weird emotional responses to things. Posts are running around on Facebook on how the emotional responses people are having are trauma based.
Me? I feel like I’m on the edge of tears almost all the time! I’m crying at every little thing. (This is not far from normal, but it’s turned up to 11!)
What are we to do? You just have to not get upset at yourself for having feelings! We don't have our normal lives, and COVID-19 is out there like a Dementor looking for prey
Every day is different for me. Some days I forget to drink anything...
Some days I want to do nothing but walk outside. Other days I can't be motivated to workout at all!
I'm also falling into the working form home trap. I'm checking email late into the night and doing work off the clock on the weekends. While I'm efficient, it's not helping my mental state. And I'm working for free! other days I wait for emails for hours so I can proceed with things. Other days I having issues getting off the couch TO work
Today I'm sitting on the Struggle Bus. The dog is crying under the couch. The cats are hiding. I'm trying not to cry. But I have a to-do list. And groceries to pick up during lunch.
But we'll get through this. Eventually we'll slowly be able to get back to our old lives. Sadly, we don't know WHEN that will be.
But if it's any solace, there's only 2 places on earth that have no cases of COVID-19:
Now I'm off to load the dishwasher. It's not much, but it's something that I CAN do today.
