    Not even a joke, I miss the time when a virus was our biggest concern. That may be insensitive to people who had friends or family die because of it or who live in a country with shitty access to vaccines or health care in general though.

      It’s awful but I get it…

      I’ve got CPTSD so I’m always stressed and sort of over-preparing for things to go very very wrong. When the pandemic hit, all of those preparations came true. I was expecting the worse and here it was.

      Was the only time in my life, at least in the past 15+ years, that I actually felt somewhat relaxed. Then the prices of everything went up and I got stressed for way different reasons.

        I watch someone on YouTube who deals with stress. They said they were… I think relieved (can’t recall exactly what word they used) because, for once, their stress and the actions resulting from it were now normal.
