Okokok,
Agree with charon interesting topic.
I also suffer from anxiety and depression. Actually super anxiety if there is anything called that. Lol
I was dealing with all this COVID stuff fine for the first 6 weeks or so. But I am finding now my anxiety seems to be increasing. I do know why. I am desperate to fly to my moms to make sure she is ok and spend time with her. Same with my brother who lives in the same area. They are both comprised and I constantly worry about them even though I talk to my mom sometimes twice a day. And their state has opened up many things this week where as my state is still basically closed. I also usually travel for work and that has been curtailed for the rest of the year. So I’m not getting out at all except the grocery store, and small stuff. I planted flowers outside thinking that would keep me busy for awhile but I got that done in a week. I have no interest in cleaning my closets, organizing stuff, etc which I should do.
My workday just runs into the evening, it’s been hard to keep boundaries. I have talked to everyone I possibly know on the,phone at least twice, I tried to cook new meals since I now have the time, but the downside to that is I eat everything. Ha, ha. Really I do.
But one thing I do know is this won’t last forever, it will end. And if I gain a few pounds from being at home all the time, loosing that weight will give me something to do when this is over!
And I do agree with your statement.... I have had much darker times in the past and at least now I am more aware how easy it is for me to get into a funk. So I am on it but it isn’t easy.
So let’s all try to have a less of an anxiety week.
