Yes, sure. I work in an industry heavily impacted by COVID-19, and my company has announced pay cuts as well as potential layoffs starting next year if things don't improve soon

Woah. Blessings to you for existing in what sounds like a stressful situation. How is self care going during this?

Affirmation and Reassurance,Question
Thanks! I appreciate it. Just chatting with someone and getting some positive reinforcement helps. COVID-19 has given me a lot of anxiety in general, I haven't left the house except to grocery shop since March, and we've got some family members who take it a lot less seriously than we do and are asking us to go over for the holidays Just a lot of anxiety in general, but trying to stay positive helps. And the recent news about the vaccines also help! Thanks for listening :) I appreciate you cheering me on

Well, spending a lot more time at home with my fiance has helped us grow closer. And I'm in very good physical shape because of all the walking, exercising , and self care, so that's good!

Haven't had much happen today, but I did make myself a great lunch. And my cooking skills have gotten a lot better during the pandemic! Thanks for the chat, I'm in a much better mood now than I was before!
