um can we start talking openly about how badly we& #39;re feeling? I know it& #39;s easier to couch it in wacky light jokes, but I think so many of us, myself included, feel like we we& #39;re rapidly losing ourselves to hopelessness, depression, and fear. so if that& #39;s you, you are not alone.

I& #39;m all for light jokes, but if ur really low, and they& #39;re all ur seeing, it can seem like everyone but you is a Cute Level Of Sad. Even if that& #39;s not true! And it feels really lonely thinking it is true. So I just want u to know that most of us are the messy scary kind of sad.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">

I talked to my dr today & she suggested many things that I did before quarantine. Exercise, water,going outside. I told her "I used to do all those. I was a very active productive person. And I& #39;m not her anymore." She said "I& #39;m hearing that a lot." It made me feel so much better.

I just know what it& #39;s like to feel like you can only joke your way thru ur pain, or else people will think ur too sad and they won& #39;t like you anymore, but we shouldn& #39;t have to find ways to make our pain funny/cute in a global pandemic. We should be allowed to be honest togetherhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
