I am finding that reaching out to all my friends is truly helping me deal and cope with this pandemic. I deal with a lot of anxiety as it is, but I am reaching out, making contact, asking how everyone's doing and it really helps me to feel that much more connected. It's important to touch base with our friends, even if it's just a hello, and how are you doing with all of this? Friends appreciate it SO much. So if you're hesitant, don't be.... trust me, it counts and it makes a difference. Now is the time to reach out.
