Tip of the Day

THIS is a stunning article: I Was Depressed Before All of This. Now What?

“Even in my 6,000-person town, sadness about the pandemic is everywhere. It’s been hard to cope...”

“Since the coronavirus arrived, I’ve found it harder than ever to get out of bed in the morning – to feel that this life is worth getting up for. My anxiety has multiplied as the virus has become personal. Three family members have reported symptoms of COVID-19; my sister, a doctor, is exposing herself day after day; my grandmothers, both in assisted living, keep asking me with a wavering voice over the phone if and when we might be able to visit again.”

– Elizabeth Flock in The Atlantic
