I have a smart brother who is a therapist and he keeps reminding me that just because you’re at home with enough to eat and able to pay your rent doesn’t mean the Covid situation doesn’t traumatize you. It may even be more lethal because it’s not obvious, like carbon monoxide
Thought I share...especially since he doesn’t charge me...❤️
By the way, I didn’t get what he was saying at first but then he used a knife fighting parable, how one person’s cuts aren’t less lethal or less painful just because somewhere else another person in another knife fight is getting stabbed deeper. I got that. He knows me well.
Lots of people replying to say they’re struggling with the lack of socializing. I hope you have access to a mental health expert. I’m obviously not one, but I can share with you that online chat groups, Zoom dinner dates with family or friends and weekly zoom quiz nights helped.
