I’ve been saying for the last two weeks that as this begins to get bad, we would masses of people starting the grieving process.

This is a lot. Waking up everyday and hearing about ppl being sick, ppl dying, an incompetent administration dropping the ball, job loss, etc. (cont)
Being unable to physically see and touch ppl you love and care about (shout out to my physical touch and quality time people I feel you)
As someone who has dealt with grief and battled depression I know that shit can get dark and ugly.
I have a few tips:
First of all FEEL. We are not emotionless ppl. Its okay to be overwhelmed right now. This isn’t normal.
Get up and do your routine. Wash your face, take your durag/bonnet off, brush your teeth. Put lotion on
Put some clothes on, try not to stay in pjs all day.
You don’t wanna put on a full face (I would recommend you do here and there) put on eyeliner and lip gloss.
Put some cologne on.
If you WFH, get out the bed, set up a space to work.
Take a selfie or two
Go outside
Go workout, yoga something... make time to move your body
Log out. Please take social media breaks. This is too much for alotta us daily.
Journaling, rediscover you and keep track of your thoughts.
Change your language, you’re not stuck in the house you’re safe in the house ☝🏽
Checking in with friends and yourself.
Lastly, give yourself some grace. Now is not the time to beat yourself up. You’re not alone in this. Look into online mental health counselors if you’re able to. Write a letter to your future and manifest goodness.
In the words of @InkpenCochran Dont complain, adjust.
Lastly do not text old flames, exes, old family members, old friends you fell out with right now. There’s a reason that door is closed revisit if you’re still thinking of them when outside open back up.
Leave finicky ppl alone right now too
