Surviving The Looming Mental Health Crisis
The following is an excerpt from an article written by Mark Manson discussing emotional breakdown in the face of a global health crisis:
Look: the biggest enemy in this whole thing is ourselves. Okay, that’s a lie, there’s a virus that’s probably going to kill hundreds of thousands of people. That’s enemy number one. But enemy number two is ourselves.
The only way to make this stuff worse—all of it, the shoddy work, the difficulty getting out of bed, the lack of exercise, etc.—is abusing ourselves for not doing better.
We’re going through a hard time here. Every single one of us has had our lives upended to some degree or another. We’re all struggling and probably have people we know who are getting royally fucked right now. None of this is easy emotionally or mentally, nor should we expect it to be.
And when things get difficult emotionally and mentally, we tend to screw things up in the real world. That means we skip a home workout or ten. That means we eat enough chocolate to kill a mid-sized gerbil. That means we stay in bed watching that fucked up “Tiger King” shit instead of working or studying or calling our mothers to make sure they’re okay.
