Quarantine, week 3

Tweet

I've reached week three of quarantine. I live in upstate New York, about half way between the City and Albany. I hear very little traffic outside, unless it's one of the teens racing around the loop. I feel like I am existing in a bubble, cut off from everyone unless it is the net, or my therapist calling. Last week we had our first telephone session. It felt odd, to say the least. I know that my anixiety is way up, and depression is racing right along. I'm practicing coping skills -- Netflix is getting a real beating around here -- and finally managed to write a bit. And I'm feeling a lot of anger, mostly at the Orange Cockroach and his stupid, senseless rantings. He's not being a leader at all. Fortunately , we have Governor Cuomo, and he's at least trying like hell to help us survive this pandemic. I've read enough history to know what a pandemic can do. And we've barely started with this. Stay strong my friends. And listen.
