Anger, frustration, confusion – lethargy, despair, sorrow – and most likely a whole range of other emotions. How did you respond to the news yesterday that in England it’s back to Lockdown.
There’s a saying, I believe, that if you try something and it doesn’t work – why would you try the same thing again and expect a different outcome. Something to do with fools, as I recall (please feel free to drop the exact phrase in the comments!!). That’s how I feel about it.
Schools are closed – to the detriment of our teenagers’ mental health. Universities are closed- to the detriment of our young adults’ mental and financial health. Businesses are shut to the country’s enormous financial distress on all levels.
All to protect the NHS? Because there aren’t enough beds in hospitals?
Number one aim – look after your own health as much as you can – and there is a lot you can do. Prevention is better than cure – and your immune system is your best friend. Be kind to yourself and those you love.
