“ I really feel for those with severe anxiety, hypochondria, and/or depression. This is probably sending many into that abyss”
“I think we are going to see some really odd, and violent, behavior out of people as some lose their marbles.”
Actually, for some of us who have been treated for anxiety and depression all along, this isn’t much worse than normal. It is just making real things we have imagined along the way. The people you have to watch out for are the ones who have lived an easy life, like a snowboard headed downhill after a powder snow, who have never experienced adversity or frustration. They are the ones who will break, psychotic style.
As some one with many of those maladies at one point or the other, I was more bothered three weeks ago. Knowing this was coming allowed me to get my head around it.
I have a sense of calm and peace.
I actually stopped my wife in the corner of the grocery store on Saturday and had her just look around and watch. From an observation point of view.
It was a scene out of a book. It was something I could only imagine prior to this. It was not hysterical. It was not panic. But it was “determined” and frustrated.
I really believe those of us who have been watching since before Christmas could be standing there with me...with their arms folded...just watching.
