@mwsa1945- I've been very depressed, on and off, during this whole year. The excitement of vaccines has worn off and next Sunday I will finally get my first one. I think that you might be feeling that it is a bit anti-climatic. All we have heard is about vaccinations and anticipating them. As my mother used to say anticipation is my worst enemy. She was right. Many people who I have spoken to seem to have a sense of relief but also a letdown. After all, it really is just a vaccine. After all the hype, no whistles will blow, no fireworks will go off. But, instead of the anti-climatic feeling maybe those of us who feel this depression can turn this anticipation around to a feeling of pride. Look what you did! Having the vaccine will hopefully save millions of lives! You are an excellent example of what everyone should be doing.

Also, now that you have done your duty to yourself and mankind, life has gone back to what it was before the vaccine. Nothing has changed for you, really. You still need to mask, wash your hands and stay 6' away. Do you think that this might be the reason? Does a letdown seem possible?
