A sense of community

Global uncertainty in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic is real. Many people are still finding it difficult to embrace the new normal, myself included to a certain extent.

The change was sudden. Getting necessities has turned into our only interaction with the outside world, while simultaneously posing a health risk. However, as someone with treated anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, I find myself weirdly adapting to coping strategies way better now. Perhaps, I have used up all of my accumulated worrying energy over the past years, or possibly, after years of therapy, I have learnt to compartmentalize my worries and deal with them accordingly, like asking for help and discussing how I feel.
