It’s not often in life that you are completely untethered.

My job is stressful, but for no real reason. I’m good at it and I find it easy but everything feels completely pointless.

I’m slowly losing my grip on things, I guess, my nice orderly life has taken a somewhat jarring turn for the completely unexpected.

I have no way to cope. I usually go to the gym or go outside for a walk or go be somewhere by myself but that’s not an option these days. It feels so pathetic when I say it like that, there are plenty more people worse off than I am. But I can’t help but wonder how long I can hold on.

My dreams are so much more vivid now. I am remembering things I’d rather not. Is this COVID-19 or is this me failing to cope with adversity? Does anyone else feel this way?

I’ve had to stop reading the news.

My family is overseas in a badly affected country. I worry about them constantly. I want this all to stop. I need to find someone who understands but I’m afraid to ask. I’m afraid to tell someone how I’m feeling.

I’m afraid.
