Hey, hi, hello. Just a quick reminder. You are under an EXCESSIVE amount of stress right now.

Even if no-one you know is sick. Even if everyone you know still has a job. Even if your everyday life hasn't changed all that much.

I mean a truly OUTRAGEOUS amount of stress.
All you can do is your best on any given day. And right now, your best probably looks different than it did in, say, January.

That's ok.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself.

This isn't about thriving, it's about surviving. Getting through *waves arm* all this.
You think the people in The Walking Dead get mad at themselves for skipping leg day? Or feel bad because they didn't fold the laundry?

No, they're like EFF YEAH, I DIDN'T GET EATEN BY A ZOMBIE TODAY, I AM CRUSHING IT!

Same for you. The zombies are just metaphorical.
