This is fine. We are fine. Everything is fine. Right?
Recently, it seems everyone I know is hitting a wall. Iâm not sure if itâs the looming one-year anniversary of being locked in our homes, or the combination of winter blues with lack of social connection, or perhaps weâre all mourning the many lost lives to covid. The reasons vary, but the truth remains: we are struggling.
Struggling looks different for different people. Some of us feel apathetic, struggling to go through our normal routine or to reach out to family or friends. Others are irritable, snapping at innocuous remarks or getting frustrated more easily. Some of us are waking up in the middle of the night, panicking about ⦠nothing. (I fall into this camp.)
