“Normal People” in Quarantine During A Pandemic
I’m 100% sick of hearing “normal people”, like on the ‘Today’ show or ‘Good Morning America’, talk about how quarantining, self-isolation, is so hard, lonely, quiet, sad, depressing, driving anxiety, abnormal thoughts, etc. Have these so-called “normal people” even given a thought, during this pandemic, as to what people living with Mental Health experience on a minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, week to week, month to month, basis? Has it even occurred to these “normal people” that their “new normal” has been OUR NORMAL for many, many months, if not years. It would be utterly shocking, and amazing at the same time, if a “normal person” would actually take the time to do a story on the adverse effects, or not, of what this pandemic is doing to us, “our normal”. #TodayShow #livingwithmentalillnessduringpandemic #GoodMorningAmerica #yournewnormalisnotournewnormal
