If you feel your mental health has changed since the pandemic started, talk a bit about how, and why.

Has anyone's mental health NOT suffered during this pandemic? Who hasn't experienced fear, anxiety, depression, loneliness, anger? It's been about 9 months since life was "normal." It's been 9 months since I ate in a restaurant, attended live services at my temple, or went shopping just for fun. It's been a year since I have seen my mom in person. I wear a mask for 8 hours a day. My mouth gets dry; my nose runs. There is no point in wearing makeup. No one can see my face. And just when I was starting to think that it was getting better, there is another surge.So yes, my mental health has changed. I am stressed, anxious, frustrated, depressed, angry, and very tired.
