There's a mental health emergency brewing here isn't there, absolutely nobody is actually ok.
There absolutely is, and not surprisingly so. We've been conditioned (gas lit?) to believe that we're all in grave danger all the time, and we need to constantly be alert or something terrible will happen if we let down our guard. We've been taught that other people are dangerous and not to be trusted, isolated from friends and colleagues, all support networks removed while at the same time often burdened with greater responsibilities and work loads than ever. (I'm thinking of my own case where I've had to work full time while simultaneously home schooling and trying to keep my children OK for long periods, but everyone has different, often extreme challenges.) Everywhere you go you must sanitise, keep your distance and wear masks, and for God's sake don't ever relax! All the while the media are simultaneously obsessing about every last COVID death and how precarious the situation is (more recently cases since there is barely any death any more), and warning that the NHS will take years to get back on a level because of all the other things it's been largely ignoring for a year. GPs are still only seeing people on the day, and getting past the receptionist is more stressful than ever.
We've been under relentless, extreme psychological pressure for over a year to 'keep us safe', and people are breaking. It's like a very sophisticated form of torture.
