One thing I plan to do to combat pandemic fatigue is definitely get vaccinated and take my health a little more seriously in general. This will help me feel better about myself and help dispel the monotony of everyday life in the pandemic. The days seem to be replayed and don’t hold any variety, since the world won’t change I will have to make the effort to create change in my everyday life.

The truth is, I spent most of this year… wondering how the new reality would be and when it would get here. I spent most of the time at home on my phone just scrolling my days away with all sorts of things happening. Being on my phone would distract me from hearing from the news on tv about people dying whether that was because of covid or the hands of the police or natural disasters. Things just felt all sorts of emotions but nothing felt right. I was always something new happening and new emotions to feel. At some point, with all that was happening, I became numb from all of it. I went from scared and worry to not feeling anything about it.
What is the first thing you plan to do after quarantine?
After quarantine, I want to go outside and do as much as I can to make up for the time lost due to covid. I want to go out with friends that I wasn’t able to see during the pandemic. I want to go out and try new things because quarantine has made me think about how I should enjoy life because we never know the curveball life will through at us. I want to be able to take a proper vacation to my country and hug my family without having to worry about me giving them covid or them giving it to me. I want to be able to go out and do things without having to worry about anything.
Is it okay to laugh during horrible times? Where have you found humor this year?
It is okay to laugh during horrible times because sometimes laughing makes you feel better and it distracts you for a moment about what is going on. I have found humor this year in the time where people were going out to buy toilet paper and tones of food as if there was a tornado or awesome kinds of a storm coming. It was a bit funny to see that people were doing things in a panic instead of taking a moment to think about their next move. I also found humor in the memes that were made for specific events that happened this year.
I spent most of my time this year fixing my sleeping schedule. I recently discovered that I have middle insomnia which is basically when you sleep in intervals instead of the entire night. I’ve struggled with this my entire life, sleeping for 2 hours at a time and waking up feeling fully rested, for the majority of the year I would typically sleep two hours during the day and two hours at night. And this is how I was living my life for the past year, I noticed some differences in my health mainly pertaining to my weight and appearance. I noticed I looked visibly sick all the time with bags and was at an all-time low weight, this prompted me to go to the doctor to see if they can find a remedy. I was prescribed some heavy sleeping pills
