Is anyone else feeling worse by checking Instagram or going out on walks? I live alone in nyc, and used to love taking long walks with a podcast. Now it feels like a constant, blatant reminder of how alone I am, seeing everyone else out dining with friends, walking with significant others, etc. And obviously, Instagram feels like a reminder that nobody else is taking this seriously anymore.

100%. There are some outdoor things I feel safe doing with friends but I get sad every weekend when I go to the park and see huge groups of mask-less people having picnics and looking like they’re having so much fun. It makes me feel really lonely.

Agree. Which sucks, because getting outside and walking are pushed so much for “self care.” And then you feel guilty for not doing it. Vicious cycle.

Ohh completely!! Also, everyone I know has essentially disappeared too.

Aww! DM me if you’d like. I’m so lucky to have an amazing spouse but I also know he’s tired of hearing how my industry is imploding. I used to chat with colleagues, reps, industry friends and now it’s both more competitive and strained like we’re all pretending things are ok!

Yes!!!! I actually stuff all my social media into a folder on the 4th page of my phone and that helped. Also if you watch Social Dilemma on Netflix, you will know you’re not alone.

Just moved into an apartment in Old Town. The insulation for both sound and heat is terrible. I can hear everything going on outside and am nervous that the heat/gas bill will be insane.

We live near a train stop (~200 yards away) and hear it crystal clear.

Do you think my landlord will do anything to fix it if we ask? I’m more concerned about the noise. Any tips?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
