For me reconnecting with faith has been important to help me retain psychological balance. I do not belong to a Church or a particular religion. I have a spiritual practice. It sounds like I spent the Fall in a similar place to you. Taking care of myself -- daily vit. D3, Quercetin and Zinc, exercise, getting a massage and small outings (we are on our 4th lockdown here in Toronto)helped greatly.

I am a self employed medical practitioner and found the struggles of my patients affected me much greater than usual, to a point of sending an email to them telling them how I was struggling but that I am there for them in whatever capacity they needed. The beautiful responses I received in return showed me the love and connection we all need. Reaching out helps. I am very grateful.

Interesting. I too have done a lot of deep thinking on faith. I am in Florida and it is quite open and back to normal here. I could have gone to services but my church has gone a bit WOKE and I won't support that. It has helped to reconnect with a higher power and realize we are part of a whole.

This virus has had its good side. With all this time on my hands, although, not in lockdown here in Florida, I have been reading and listening to videos. I too am on an immune boosting regime of D3, Quercetin, zinc, Vit K2, VitC and black seed oil. I feel good. I need to boost my exercise though because I have become far too sedentary.

What is dismaying is to witness the mass formation psychosis that seems to be the norm in too many places. It is certainly prevalent on a knitting forum I belong too. In particular those members from Australia seem lost to all reason and perspective. Some of them have become vicious in their response to the unvaccinated even when those people have had and recovered from COVID, and to those who refuse to get boosters. Fear can be a terrible thing.

Australians are being monitored. Their not free to speak. They have to say those things. Don’t take it to heart to much.

I too am in a free red state in the south. Beautiful and normal. Trace amounts of fear mongering but not in our church. I take my Vitamins as well and need to exercise more. 😊

When Australians have had enough the people will go on a national strike. Gandhi showed the world how to do nonviolent protests. Australians need to vote in another John Howard. The current political leadership they have are craven, power mad cowards. I can't believe the police are allowing themselves to be turned into tyrannical prison guards over an entire nation. Sheesh, if this isn't shades of 1933 Nazi Germany.
