How to waste less food. Pre pandemic, it was easy to be lazy, easy to go out instead of using what was in my kitchen, and easy to skip the grocery store. When the restaurants first closed, I was forced to grocery shop weekly. I became really good at meal planning. Leftovers are now another meal, and I throw away so much less food. Even though everything is open again, I still keep the habits I formed during the pandemic and it has been so much better for my health and my wallet.

Patience.
I live with my elder parents. I seldom spent time with them because of work or because I rather hanging out with friends. But in lockdown it was just the three of us. They are seniors. Sometimes forget stuff, sometimes struggles with technology. Things work slower with them and honestly, patience is not my strongest point. But I learnt to slow down, take time to understand other people and cherish the time I've got left with my elders.

Best time ever I've had in many many years.

That I actually do have depression and anxiety, and I wasn't just overreacting or being a stupid attention-seeking baby. Quarantine and doing school from home gave my mind the space and my life the time to realize how bad my mental health was doing, tell my parents about it, and eventually get a prescription from my family doctor that has really been helping. My family says they've noticed I'm laughing more, and I've noticed that I have a more hopeful view of my future.

Also I realized how much I love going to the library. I missed everything about it... being able to wander in and browse through the shelves with my head bent uncomfortably to the side to read the titles and struggling to carry a stack of 10+ books out with me and immediately starting to read one in the car on the way home.

I'd say that over-reaction is, many times, much more detrimental than under-reacting. It seems that, most times, over-reaction is driven more by emotion than by rational thought. At least under-reaction is driven by the emotion of apathy and apathy keeps it under control.

I agree with this statement to the extent of what it states but disagree with it because it assumes that neoconservative, liberal, conservative or some other form is blameless and right. If you're going to talk politics at the very least you should have the integrity to acknowledge and state that there is no political affiliation that can be relied upon.

That I have ADHD.
TL;DR - if it feels like something is off with mental or physical health, advocate for yourself until you get answers. You’re worth it.

It took months of pandemic lockdown to figure out why working from home reduced my stress about 80% compared to an office. Despite long term therapy and many unsuccessful treatments for anxiety, depression, and PTSD - I hadn’t seen much improvement to those issues. All the puzzle pieces started coming together after exploring why remote work was better for me, and my first time hearing about inattentive ADHD on TikTok. I researched clinical websites (Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc.) and fit almost every diagnostic criteria perfectly - turns out I had ADHD signs and symptoms since childhood. Even found research that adult women with undiagnosed ADHD often have depression and anxiety that don’t respond to standard treatment… major lightbulb moment. I advocated for myself and got to a psychiatrist, then was immediately diagnosed and medicated. Treating the ADHD changed my whole life. I cried the first day I took meds because I had never known what ‘calm’ felt like before. I have seen dramatic improvements in self-care, mood management, depression, some anxieties, and am even able to work on some PTSD blocks I’d been stuck on in therapy for years. Now 19 months into working from home and having more mental space to learn about managing ADHD in my daily life, I finally have hope again.

I became disabled, prior to the Covid Pandemic, with a lung condition which limits my activities on a good day but mostly keeps me at home. That was a bit frustrating-wanting to be out-and-about and not being able to leave home.

The pandemic did not allow me to go out, not even to Dr. Appointments-All done through the telephone, even still (09/20/21).

The main thing that I have learned is that I totally enjoy my own company. I am really happy spending time with Me! I am a decent person, funny-way too Funny (I keep myself entertained and laughing all the day long). I am my own best friend and I will never let myself down.

I also learned that the world has become a nasty, hateful place. And being disabled and needing to stay home, is not that bad at all. I am actually glad that I stay home. Home is where my best friend lives and she is A-OK!

I don't miss karaoke as much as I thought I would. In fact, I don't even think I enjoyed it as much as I tried to. It was just something to do during a night out of drinking and to get out of the house, and hear what songs I sound good singing to. Those empty bar nights were much enjoyed over a packed house.

How much I loved the lock-down!!!, and the following rules as shops opened up again. I get very easily over-stimulated, and hate crowds. I dislike people standing to close, or shops being full of people. My depression even got less because of it! Which of being 30 ears of being depressed is just.. breathtaking wonderful.. Now that it is over, and everyone can get back to 'normal' I feel anxious again.

That launching new, untested operating systems without being able to support remote work using existing systems is a brilliant way to create additional stress for already stressed employees.

I’ve been really self reflecting/observing during lockdown, and I low key might have ADHD. I’ve looked into it ALOT, but I’m always afraid to tell people because I don’t want people to think I’m self diagnosing. Most times when I mention that I have tons of the symptoms, the person I’m talking to goes “Well, I do that too but I don’t have adhd!” So now I just refrain from talking about it. But I do want to get diagnosed just to confirm if I have it or not.

Would the diagnosis itself help you?

That being an anxious person can make you stronger. When the entire world is freaking out I’ve been relatively cool and collected.

But they have some good ideas, such as spreading wealth around a little more. But the conservatives have some good ideas too, such as personal responsibility and not relying on the government too much. The two sides seem mutually exclusive, but the fact is that the best approach depends on the situation. Like sometimes it's better to make someone take responsibility for themself rather than help them with charity, and sometimes charity is the better approach. Applying the same solution to all situations is like having only one tool in your toolbox.
