We’re in slightly different situations, but plenty resonated with me. For example, a month or more into this my boss asked me to “stay behind” after a meeting because he wanted to check on me. He was worried that I hadn’t said much during the call, and frankly he was right to be worried. It made a difference that he noticed, and that he wanted to check up on me. Since then, things have been gradually getting better, but reading things like this reminds me we’re still not anywhere near normal, and it’s OK to feel crap.

PS I cry a lot these days too.

I’m sorry this isolation has been so hard on you. For what it’s worth, I think you are showing extraordinary self-awareness in being able to chart your status that way. Thank you for sharing.

I hope you’re right that even some lifting of the quarantine will help a lot. I know it’s not the same, but if chatting online will help at all, please let me know when you’re available. Good luck. I’m rooting for you. 🙂
