You’re not alone! My anxiety is through the roof. Miserable!
Hi @graceandmercy1, I actually moved your message to one of the discussions that @gingerw suggested called "How are you handling anxiety in this time of COVID-19?"
It is not surprising that people are having to deal with high levels of anxiety with the pandemic. Like Ginger, I'd like to know if anxiety is a new experience for you or if you've dealt with anxiety in the past too?
