@lilypaws, Hi, Lily, Thanks for understanding.

As this pandemic drags on and on, I find my already "overly sensitive self" becoming more grouchy and touchy about things that ordinarily wouldn't phase me. I get out of sorts over the fact that so many continue to defy virus safety precautions and that I live in an area where far too many "individualists" declare that they will do whatever they choose to do and let the rest of the world be damned. Could never have ever imagined in anyone's worst nightmare that we would all be experiencing the radical changes brought on by the pandemic that is so drastically changing our everyday lives.

Members of Mayo Connect are brought here because of having or being caregivers for those who have serious health issues. We are more aware of the dangers Covid-19 poses. I am so grateful that this community exists for us to share and learn from one another.

Are others here finding themselves finding it harder to stay positive or am I just going into a slump?

@fiesty76 No, you’re not the only one who gets crabby and short tempered. I sometimes think it’s my middle name! You are always so upbeat and have a kind word for everyone, I can’t imagine you going into a slump! Guess it’s serious. But then the world has gotten so serious. Politics and one country not liking another, and the job situation, etc, etc. It never ends! But, I guess, if we continue doing what’s right, and helping those here on MCC, we’ll be OK, and one small part of the world will be OK.

I understand your feelings and also go up and down as this drags on....due to the community I live in and the choices people make, I and my small group of friends stay home almost exclusively and it can drain on a person’s psyche from time to time. I daily give thanks and feel grateful for my choice to protect my health and keep others safe. That helps me greatly. Take care❤️
