People with mental health issues like me are having a hard time
staying at home and dealing with waiting and watching for our
states to open back up . It is a long drawn out process fraught with
fear of getting sick but also anxiety over unemployment and
isolation . Also hearing that domestic violence is on the rise
because people have to stay at home with abusers ; we of course
want to see friends and family and fear that it may be even longer
now to do so . So many are getting sick and dying ,essential workers
are at risk . Many are also unemployed and suffering and children
cannot go to school ; some kids don't even have internet access .
No matter how you look at it , there are no winners here because
those who are not sick , are dealing with hidden illnesses that
will not go away with a vaccine . That is what I want everyone
to know . We with mental health issues need care , patience and
comfort in knowing that there is indeed a light at the end of this
tunnel . I try to remain positive and I love helping others but it
is a day by day struggle . When you have depression and anxiety
you need to be reassured that that cause of that will be over soon .
All the politicians and experts out there need to understand that
time is of the essence with this virus . Finally , we are all in this together
and need to lift each other up right now especially the most fragile !
