We met a neighbour on our walk today, although carrying on a conversation at umpteen metre distance meant a lot of yelling. She seemed frazzled, not just by the health emergency but by the changes to her working pattern
thread....

Reading between the lines, it seems she is trying to maintain business-as-usual in spite of her work life being by no means usual, and is absorbing the resultant stress. As with many in these circumstances, she also does not seem to have anyone with whom to discuss this.

Her superiors are probably not even aware of this, as it may well be a burden she has placed in herself, but it's real nonetheless. Yes, she has work to do, and is getting paid but something must give or she and her family will be in trouble.

So I just wanted to post this in case there are others out there who need a little pause in a life that may somehow have become more intense during the health emergency. I'd like to leave these links as thought-provokers.

I know this thread is not some magic catch-all, and does not apply universally, but if it helps just one person a little, that would be wonderful.
Please give yourself the same consideration you'd happily give others.
