This is a weird time for all of us. It’s really strange to be somewhat isolated and stuck at home for most of the day. Here’s my mood chart.
Morning: This time of day always brings a depressed, anxious and “what the fuck is going to happen next” feelings for a few hours.
Afternoon: I try to think of things to do for the blog, but it’s tough to have much motivation because things seem so bleak.
Late afternoon to evening: I have a job that’s deemed essential, so I go to work, talk to the other two co-workers about how shitty everything is and I feel a little better. Being busy doing things actually takes my mind off of this horrible time we’re all in.
Later in the evening: This is the wondrous time known as “Drinky Time.”
This is when I have lots of drinks and watch shit on the internet and forget that when I wake up in the morning it’ll be pretty grim again. This is the time that keeps me going.
That and talking to friends on the phone and trying to laugh about all of this. If you’re having trouble dealing with all of this, it helps to know you’re not alone, we’re all going through tough times. I’m positive that this won’t last forever and for now, take time to do whatever you need to do to get through this.
Stay six feet apart and try to have a laugh or two, this isn’t going to last forever.
