Finding Balance
Finding balance in this pandemic. How do we do it? How are you doing it? How are you handling a situation that you have no control over what-so ever? How are you staying positive? How are you making sure your depression doesn’t win?
I am struggling with the answers to these questions and more. If you have any insight, please let me know. Working from home, not traveling to the grocery store for weeks at a time. Its proven difficult in so many ways.
I miss my girlfriends and nights out. I miss laughing. I miss having something to look forward to. I miss connections. I miss feeling like I accomplished something at the end of my work day. All of these things begin with “I”. What does it look like from the outside looking in? How has life changed for you? I’d really love to know I am not the only one feeling this struggle.
I need help. Ideas. Connections even if its only with words.
I hope you are able to find the balance you need. My life has not changed much. We already lived a pretty solitary life. We go to the store when needed, but try to avoid the crowds. My husbands ptsd has prepared us for this. We both still go to work everyday. All part and parcel to being “essential” workers. So aside from wearing a surgical mask all day, staying 6 feet away from people when possible and washing my hands and sanitizing my workstation several times a day, life is going along pretty much the way it would even if there wasn’t a pandemic. I do what I need to and what I feel comfortable doing. We just take as many precations as we can to stay as safe as possible and to protect those around us. Again, I hope you find your way to balance.
