Intense emotions including anxiety, anger, fear, frustration, grief, loneliness and sadness have become common since the COVID-19 pandemic reached Skagit County in March.  Mental health experts say those feelings were inevitable. Emotions are absolutely normal and expected during this time, Keri Waterland, director of the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery that operates under the state s Healthcare Authority, told the Skagit Valley Herald.
