2016-2017 was the worst time in my life. Covid was ezpz
I was unemployed, isolated, and anosmic-- then covid hit and I was like, "hey everyone, welcome to the club! Yes, it does suck but at least now there's people to empathize with."
Me too. Was unemployed for 2.5 years and completely broke. My own sister bullied me about that to no end on a daily basis. Lost almost all of my hair in less than six months (didn't even hit 30 with hair in my head and no, my parents nor grandparents never went bald). Was dumped and heartbroken and lost my only and best friend in the world - my dog.
But somehow the COVID thing brought inner peace, a stable job, and pretty much could turn my life upside down.
Dang, that's rough. I'm glad things turned around. Speaking to my own psychology: It's easy to internalize a string of bad luck. Then when other people go through it-- whether in group therapy, a global pandemic, or a massive recession-- it shows how random or circumstantial life and luck can be. It helped me internalize it less and get out of my own way.
