Within the past couple of weeks, many of us have been slammed with major pandemic fatigue. We’re burnt out. We’re expected to be productive at work or to parent (or often both) as though we haven’t been living in hell for the last year. The winter has been bleak and could potentially get bleaker. And even though the vaccines are bringing us some much-needed hope, our feelings of exhaustion and hopelessness are swallowing any positive emotions whole.⁠
⁠
It makes sense. We’ve been at this for a year now, and our fight-or-flight system ― the emotional reaction to stress that has been otherwise energizing us throughout the pandemic ― is totally overloaded. When that happens, the constant flow of adrenaline starts to drain and apathy settles in. It seems that we’ve all gone over that tipping point.⁠
⁠
Feeling emotionally zapped, especially in this stage of the coronavirus crisis, is very normal, mental health experts say. Emotional endurance dwindles over time, and given the nature of the pandemic, we don’t have the same sense of security we could fall back on during pre-pandemic times.⁠
⁠
How can we get through this period? Amy Cirbus, a licensed mental health counselor in New York and the director of clinical content at Talkspace, advises her patients to first identify the things stressing them out the most and make a plan to address them and set some healthy boundaries. From there, she recommends focusing on one or two things a day that you can accomplish.⁠
⁠
It might also be a good time to work with a therapist if you don’t have pandemic-friendly coping skills or if what you’ve been doing the last few months isn’t working for you now. A mental health professional can provide you with specific techniques that work with your life.⁠

Lastly, cut yourself some slack. No matter how the pandemic has disrupted your life, recognize that this is hard and that hitting a wall is a completely valid response to totally irregular circumstances. Read more at our link in bio.
