THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS HAVE BEEN SUCH A MASSIVE TEABAGGING BY FEAR, ISOLATION, LOSS, GRIEF, AND SADNESS. THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WE LOST, THE SHATTERED FAITH IN OTHERS, THE CHRONIC AILMENTS THAT TAIL AFTER SOME OF US, THE UNATTENDED FUNERALS, THE MISSED BIRTHS, THE TOTAL DISCONNECT BETWEEN LIVED EXPERIENCE AND THE NARRATIVES OF NEEDING TO RETURN TO THE OFFICE, THE STUNTED SOCIAL LIVES, THE FEELING THAT IT'S STILL MARCH 2020 AND THAT THIS COULD LAST UNTIL MAY OR MAYBE JUNE, THE PERVASIVE SENSE THAT SOMETHING IS INEFFABLY BUT STILL VERY WRONG AND WILL NEVER IN OUR LIFETIMES BE OKAY. IT'S ALL TOO MUCH, AND WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT, AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ENOUGH PEOPLE CARE THE RIGHT WAY.

IF YOU WANT, THIS IS A GOOD THREAD TO YELL ABOUT COVID TRAUMA.
