It's a time to be kind

Today I’d like to write more about mental health during this time of crisis. I know there are a lot of you out there that are suffering at different stages. 

Some are already suffering from illnesses, or family members are causing great loneliness, anxiety, grief, sadness and even anger. There are those that don’t normally suffer from it that are feeling the “cabin fever” and in that wanting to do more things that in the end could do more harm than good. There are those caught up in conspiracies and the controversy of our times and of the information we are receiving that let it get so bad that they think of nothing else. 

Day 16 of Isolation - It's getting super serious!

This is day 16 of isolation and I’d like to talk about a few things today.  One is the seriousness of this pandemic and secondly of mental health. 

So to start off there are things I’ve seen or heard since this pandemic started including things such as “I’ve had the flu”, “I’ve had the flu shot”, “I’ll wipe things down repeatedly” , “You can’t self isolate because you’re scared of a virus”, “I have never gotten sick in my life I won’t now” , “I have a strong immune system it won’t get me”.  Well I have news for you all saying this, you are the likely ones it will infect or it’ll infect those that you love. Yes you can take precautions but what if the person down the hall or down the street hasn’t? What if you run into them at the grocery store because they don’t take precautions?
