Hey community 👋🏼 there’s been some extra noise around about covid recently, and I wanted to check in and see how people are feeling?
I also thought it might be a good time to share some quotes from a chat we had with a guest psychologist Lauren about pandemic fatigue. Here's a little bit about Loz 👇🏽
My name is Lauren, I’m proud gay woman who uses she/they pronouns. I’m a Psychologist currently working in a correctional centre. I love nothing more than curling up with a good record and a political book. My favourite thing about myself is that I have a rare neurological condition called synesthesia. My partner and I own a frug (frenchie x pug) called Doug, and we like to dress him in themed bandanas.
COVID has been a rough time for all of us, whether it’s been isolation from family, lockdown and rule-following fatigue, financial hardship, or a kind of understandable generalised anxiety about the whole global pandemic - COVID burn out is real and we’ve all been hit in different ways. and while I’m certainly not perfect at it myself, I’m really keen to be involved and to get to hear from (and maybe if I’m lucky provide answers to!) some of the community’s questions about how we can take care of ourselves and others in these times.
