Let& #39;s just be honest:
A lot of us are fatigued. We are tired and dull and slightly dead to the world at the moment. In a short period of time the style of living and plans changed for everyone at, seemingly, the drop of a hat.
A lot of us are fatigued. We are tired and dull and slightly dead to the world at the moment. In a short period of time the style of living and plans changed for everyone at, seemingly, the drop of a hat.
And, right now, we& #39;ve been walking around shell-shocked, many times only having enough energy or drive to handle "the next thing that has to happen" without letting ourselves process these changes.
And that& #39;s normal, because it& #39;s how a lot of people handle sudden things.

It& #39;s almost a survival mechanism. "I don& #39;t have the time to worry or break down right now, I need to handle X first, X has to be done. After that I can break down."
That works in emergencies. When people die and you need to arrange the funeral first. Things like that.

But you can& #39;t just "address the next thing that needs to happen" and shove away your emotional fatigue for months at a time, especially when we& #39;re in this for the long haul.
So here& #39;s what I& #39;m doing.
I& #39;m gonna give you permission.
So here& #39;s what I& #39;m doing.
I& #39;m gonna give you permission.
When you find a moment today, I& #39;m going to give you permission to go sit in a room, stare at the wall, and completely meltdown over this. Make sure you have the time to do it, but you have permission to just freak the fuck out, cry, scream, curl in a ball and rock back and forth
Whatever you need to do to reset and get the last couple months of "walking wounded" out of your system so you can start up again.
