No such thing as "normal"

[AK0424]

I'm getting quiet. I get "we're all in this together" but I don't feel it. We all should be able to feel the way we feel, about everything and anything. But 95% of the time when I reach out I get a reaction that they think I'm just making a big deal out of nothing. My sleep has been horrible the past few months. My anxiety is up. My depression is up. I'm just ready to convert into a chameleon and stay quiet. Why reach out when it's just going to be dismissed?

This coronavirus situation really does suck. It's ok to vent. I do it a lot on here.

When was the last time you talked to your Doctor if your Anxiety and Depression is getting worse. If you are stressed that can make your voice high and stressed that does not help

Try breathing out before speaking that may keep your voice in a better tone if that is the case here. Also temper your reaction and listen before answering

Been there and have isolated, but it's the worst thing you can do. No matter how bad you feel, socialization with friends, family or anyone with a sympathetic nature has always helped. Difficult for sure, but very therapeutic.
