As we all know, the past year has been tough on every one of us. The pandemic has caused severe damage to our society and personal lives. I want to take this opportunity to extend my sympathy to anyone who has lost a loved one to this pandemic. I also want to encourage people to continue to take care of themselves, wear a mask, and abide by the social distancing guidelines. You might save a life with your precaution.
The pandemic has not only affected our society, but it has affected us personally, and also it has had a great deal of damage to our mental health. Studies show that suicides have been on the rise ever since the lock-downs started – and these are rates amongst young people. If you or anyone is suffering from the anxiety of the pandemic, please reach out to counselors who are on stand by to help you in any way possible. If you or anyone you know is suicidal, please reach out to the suicide hotline – National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
