I'm a federal employee in DC and almost all my friends, neighbors and several relatives are too; and of course my coworkers are all terrified every day at work.
My question is - how do we cope collectively when we are all falling apart? I am trying to keep from spiraling but unlike other crises in my life, everyone is going through exactly the same thing and we mutually freak each other out instead of being able to support each other.
Right now this feels worse than Covid - maybe because the worst in the scenario has already happened to many people I know? I know that's logically wrong but just saying that for reference about the atmosphere here in DC.
