With everything going on right now I am back to that place where I put that wall up in order to not feel so overwhelmed and perhaps miss our in person appointments. It seems so pathetic.

It is not pathetic, and neither are you. Covid has messed with a lot of people's lives in a myriad of ways. Even as adults, we are afraid. We don't know what will happen next, and for a lot of people with mental illness, this can feel overwhelming. If the wall helps, let it. Just remember that you don't have to keep it up forever ((Not)).
