Mental Health Matters, and Every Story Counts | |
The COVID-19 pandemic was just the beginning of it all for me. Insidious and all-consuming, I vividly remember how it began and how, slowly, a constant sense of anxiety took control of every aspect of my life. Amid the ongoing crisis, my family lost five members to COVID. While such desperate times took a toll on everyone in our family, it became exceptionally difficult for me as my personal and professional life became hazy and uncertain. My anxiety and distress led to the end of a relationship and a toxic workplace flared up everything that I was already struggling to cope with. I spiralled each day, unable to complete my work in a timely fashion, struggling to concentrate on even the simplest of tasks and doing almost everything at a dreadfully slow pace. I was always prompt and consistent about routines, but during this time, I battled to get out of bed each morning and felt tired from the moment I woke up. As my participation and eagerness took a dip, I did not realize when and how I had reached a state where I would go blank during meetings, fear the outcomes of everything I initiated and have palpitations that would make me dizzy, nauseous and uneasy. The inability to share how I felt and the demoralizing effect of the negative feedback further deteriorated my state. With my mind paralyzed and my body exhausted, it was hard to keep going and stay hopeful. | |
