Now that we're eight months into the pandemic, I feel like my mental health has really been impacted. Every day feels like groundhog day - I'm frustrated and can't keep focused. How are others handling this?

I recommend walking. Carving out sometime to get some sunlight, breathing in the air, and easing your mind about work activities.

Not gonna lie, I’ve been feeling a little bummed too. However it is the holidays and that typically has me down any other year. However this year I’m quite incensed that the pandemic hasn’t slowed down; instead it is getting worse. I don’t really have a way to help myself because even going out or seeing friends causes me anxiety because I don’t want to give the virus to my mom.

This is definitely a great time to try out some new recipes and with my family avoiding gatherings it’s been fun trying to talk grandma into sharing the family recipes this year.

Also recommend time outdoors depending on your location/weather

I feel the same 😩

Get a therapist with some insurance it’s free rn this I my first time getting one and it’s helped tremendously

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.
