While I know typically people do not share the emotional... I thought it would be nice to have a thread here where we could. Keeping it free of political BS. Sharing our thoughts and feelings. Funny memes that may give us a laugh.
As for myself we are now what 4 weeks in? I dunno my days are starting to blur together. While I have not lost income since I am self employed this is a fear since my clients are losing income. The trickle down effect is a concern.
I have been the one to venture out in the chaos to go grocery shopping as my mother is high risk. My daughter is 15 and being online schooled now. That is a whole different disaster I am dealing with. I find myself in this awkward position of trying to work, provide, be a teacher, be strong for my family, be a support for my friends, and try to hold it all together.
That is the key right putting on a happy face so others are ok???? This has started to back fire on me. I feel the cracks in my mental stability. The wishing for life to go back to normal. To be able to just drive my daughter to school and wish her a good day. Run to store to get something without having to wear a mask and gloves. Without the fear of illness that has the potential to kill.
So my thought here is since we are a community maybe sharing will be helpful to others. For us ALL to know that we are not alone in our anxiety over the current pandemic.
