Like most people, my mental health has taken a beating throughout this pandemic and the subsequent hits and misses of reclaiming some semblance of my former life. I find myself cycling through moments where I am fine and holding everything together to moments where I just cannot find the motivation to get out of my pajamas. Does that sound familiar? Well, my pajama-clad friends, here is an interesting article that may help explain why we are struggling to hold it together and why it’s ok when we don’t. Hopefully, this article will provide you with some understanding of what’s going on inside your brain, in addition to offering coping mechanisms in order to carry on with your life. Until we come through the other side, please remember to grant yourself some grace during this time. No one is perfect and we are all just muddling through to the best of our abilities. Take some time for yourself, even if only to find a quiet corner to breathe in. We’ll get through this.
