My bud from college sent me & a couple of our friends this group photo from our freshman yr, yesterday. Clearly it’s not in the best shape…as it was from an era when we didn’t have digital photos…& clearly, this quarantine exercise is giving some, the time to sort thru old boxes of photos. It …
What Good May Be Coming From This Challenging Time? Read More »
Only seems appropriate to share this story at a time like this. We see companies stepping up to help their own employees/the rest of society where there are needs. The important thing to remember is there are actual people, with hearts, behind those decisions. At a time when many companies are making cuts, I’m proud …
Employers Who Are Doing The Right Thing Amidst COVID Read More »
There is nothing more beautiful to me, than this. 6,000+ mental health professionals doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. This doesn’t up their social media #s. It doesn’t make them $. It doesn’t bring them fame. It likely doesn’t even bring them new clients, as we don’t know the socioeconomic background of …
Thousands Volunteer To Help With Mental Health Amidst COVID Read More »
Too early to talk about the possible upsides? I think it’s appropriate, given how these changes are helping ppl. Very encouraged to see moves like what’s shared in this article. For the companies that can afford it: more mental health services for employees. For the states where the leaders understand the big picture (often it …
Dealing w a pandemic of this magnitude (as far as in the age of lightening fast media & up-to-the minute info) is uncharted territory for all of us. Debated sharing this bc it leaves me vulnerable/labeled – & it’s about physical health & not mental, & the weird thing is, the perception piece is what …
What simple pleasures will feel amazing when this is over? What will we no longer take for granted? This period of time is eerily similar to what it felt like going through anhedonia from the PTSD. I couldn’t “feel” anything – hugs didn’t “matter”…nor did TV shows, sports, delicious foods, art, and the list goes …
No doubt I consider myself a “word nerd” but whoever named the activity they are asking us to engage in right now – “Social Distancing” is missing an important nuance of that phrase. Feelings of isolation, when ppl are quarantined, are REAL. I get it – the “social” came from limiting activities such as going …
Here’s the most common feedback I’m getting DMs & calls on as this thing has progressed: “Eric, I’m losing it, bc I can’t SEE my next 2 days, wks, months, & how they’ll play out. It feels like there is a brick wall in front of me.” When we don’t know what date our job, …
How COVID Is Opening Up Society To Mental Health Concerns Read More »
How we’re treating this situation, how our press is handling it, is a microcosm of some of the shortfalls of how we handle most health situations that arise in our society. Took the “stories” poll, & you spoke loudly: 78% of you believe our traditional media & our SM feed is dominated MORE by outbreak …

To our community that’s grown here…given the current events, it’s eating away at me thinking about how many of you out there may struggle w the changes in routines that are being forced upon us.
