Insomnia in the Time of Covid19: Up late and hating it.

Hey guys! The world’s is a scary place to be right now and we can’t go anywhere else. I won’t be talking about the virus directly. I’m not a doctor or a scientist. I’m a storyteller with a lot of anxiety. There’s enough chaos out there without me adding to it. Be safe. Wash your hands. Stay home if you can and practice social distancing.

I have a lot of anxiety. I’ve mentioned this before. I talk about mental health a lot. I have another blog in draft right now talking about self-care and anxiety. I’ll finish it when I can. For now, I’m mostly here to ramble. Heck, if I keep having trouble falling asleep maybe I’ll make it a blog series.

A lot of things have us stressed out right now. I feel a bit guilty for worrying about the editing of my soon to be released novel, but I still have it. I work from home year round and I’m trying to carry on as normally as possible. Except, you know that’s next to impossible.

I worry about my friends and family. I worry about you guys. Heck, I’m worried about everyone. I’m worried for the earth. I’m starting to tune out of the news a lot more. I can’t sit and watch it every day and sink deeper into this hole.

I don’t usually make posts like this on this blog. I try to keep it upbeat and fun, but I wanted anyone who’s terrified to know you’re not alone.
