I keep reading that we have entered something similar to the Third Quarter Phenomenon. We have left the panic/ confusion stage & the honeymoon stage. So this is what is next. It is often experienced by people in submarines or space stations in the third quarter of their mission. Like them, people are more anxious and depressed during this time. They are definitely meaner. No more kumbaya. I have felt personally depressed at this point & the lack of kindness around me is not helping. I also have extra special postpartum emotions thrown in too & it really sucks.
I wish everyone well as we begin to reopen. Be patient with yourself and with others. We are all on the verge of tears.
Just be nice.
