Dear Carolyn,
Can COVID-19 please be over, please? I feel claustrophobic, depressed, and I am drinking more alcohol than I should. My husband and I are fighting. I am yelling at the kids. Help!
Carolyn Answers,
Please knows that you are not alone in your mental health reaction to COVID-19. Your story is more common than you think. Perhaps we are beginning to conquer the pandemic with vaccines, and I urge you to get a vaccine protocol at the first available opportunity. That vaccine will make you more secure in your daily activities.
My next suggestion is to take time for a balanced diet and an exercise program, both of which are mood stabilizers. Take your time for exercise away from the family as a respite for you. As part of the diet, start writing down what you are eating and drinking. Try to limit your alcohol to one drink on some days, or stop drinking if this is a problem. The yelling suggests you are genuinely under substantial stress. You may consider professional counseling.
Readers, May is Mental Health Awareness month. The theme for 2021 is “Tools 2 Thrive.” A goal is resiliency! One of the “Tools 2 Thrive” is creating healthy routines. Another is eliminating toxicity. We all have had to face the tragic reality of COVID, and we all must go forward.

Carolyn, you are either ignorant or a Godless liar. Folks, this non pandemic is not going to end. This is the Jesuit end of our way of life as we knew it. These untested experimental vaccines are “authorized” by the FDA for emergency use only. It takes 10 years to develop a vaccine- but all vaccines are poisonous depopulation tools of the Jesuits anyway. These vaccines are a precursor to the mark of the beast – even the infiltrated churches are pushing mass vaccination programs and they will help push the mark as well. “Cursed” be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh his flesh his strength.
To the woman who wrote in – the only way to get through what is here, and what is to come, is by seeking the Lord Jesus Christ and to accept him as your Lord and savior. Then read His Word! Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. (Matt 7:7) I cannot even tell you to find a church to go to because they are all useless at this point. What is coming is mass genocide unlike the world has ever seen. May the Lord Jesus Christ guide and bless whoever reads this post. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
