Before things changed, that is “stay-in shelter” social distancing, there was concern for those (like me) with Social Anxiety. Also, concern for staying home too much, watching TV or too much time on the Internet.
Well with the new way of life with stay-in-shelter I’m grateful for the Internet and how it’s keeping us all together. Without that we wouldn’t have this forum. Without the Internet working at home would have been a great difficulty.
Also to help keep my worries under control I have to limit myself from watching the news. It’s too overwhelming now. Okay, so once in a while I tune in to that. But can only take the Covid news for only a few minutes.
I’m located in Calif, SF Bay Area. To also help I get out midday and take a walk. It really helps uplift my spirits. Plus Spring is finally here. Nice to see flowers blooming and hear the birds chirping.
I also work for a community college which of course has been shut down. Yet we all connect remotely and have come together like a family that cares about each other.
So we’re lucky for the juxtaposition of too much Internet to becoming a big necessity to keep us connected.
I’m glad we’re all in this together. We certainly can use each other’s positive support while we go through this.
All my best,
