The truth is that despite Covid, my stress level is not as high as it used to be. In November 2019, I was let go from a stressful job with severance pay and unemployment, so I was able to take about a month and a half without working, which helped so much to decompress all that stress and anxiety I was feeling. After taking a break, I was able to find freelance work that is more low key. It's busy sometimes, but I deal directly with the company owners who are very nice and reasonable people.


Covid has sucked, especially 132 days of strict lockdowns. But, at least both me and my husband have been healthy, we have our own home with more space than where we used to live, our pets and we can both work from home. I'm trying to focus on those positives as well as my well-being like exercising and eating pretty healthily too.

I don't think I am completely over them, though. If life were to get really stressful again, I am sure they will rear their ugly head.
