Along with a humble nod and respect for both the place you are at and your willingness to share it, I want to thank you for the gift of “overwhelmnado” to my lexicon.
It’s a hard place we find ourselves in, that’s for sure. Burnout doesn’t even begin to describe it; my partner and I find the need to consistently reassure each other that “it’s not us, we’re fine,” when those dark moods hit us.
I can only hope that this is a kind of grief we’re all in, for all that the Pandemic has taken from us, and like grief it will, eventually, give way to healing.
