As provinces begin lifting COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, psychology experts expect stress and anxiety to run high among those who remain wary of letting their guards down.

It will take time for many to adjust, they say, but the quick approach some provinces are taking could make the transition more jarring.

"I have every intention of still sending them to school with masks," she said. "With Omicron not gone yet... it's terrifying."

Raissa Zukowski, a 33-year-old Calgary resident who was born with spina bifida, feels the same way.

Zukowski said she's anxious about Alberta's swift reopening approach, and often feels people don't understand her trepidations.

Yeah. We don’t write our laws to protect Mr Monk from anxiety. That’s best handled via weekly appointments at a shrink.

Everyone needs to go to concentration camps so that nobody will be “anxious” or “fearful”.

If they had nice scenery there are a bunch of FR folks who would rush to be first in line.

People have called making kids wear masks child abuse. The mask and vaxx are more like child sacrifice.

The world is a scary, dangerous place. “Did you know people die every day”. You can wear an N95 mask taped on the sides, with three surgical masks over that, wear surgical gloves, and hide in the basement, and you will still die when it is your time. I’m amazed at how many people recently discovered that they are mortal. You will die. When it is your time to do so. Take reasonable precautions, but enjoy living life while you can. These people need to see a therapist or talk to their rabbi or priest.

If one wishes to continue masking and distancing, go right ahead.
