Anxiety. Anger. Boredom. Fear. Frustration. Grief. Loneliness. Sadness.
Many emotions are being felt by those impacted by COVID-19 — be it from the loss of loved ones, layoffs, missed proms or birthday parties, or working to fight the disease on the front lines — and health experts say that’s normal.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues during this pandemic, know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to not be okay.
