[quote=Anonymous]My kid was in second grade when Covid hit. My H was able to transition easily to working from home, but I stopped working because the preschool I worked part-time at closed. And I'm still kind of pissed that at the end of May DCPS threw their hands in the air and said, school year is over! We'll add the time to the Fall...then never did.

I'm glad my kid was pretty successful at virtual school, but in other ways it was challenging. My H was on calls 100% of the time so I was the one to support our kid with technical difficulties or whenever he had free time. Which meant while my preschool opened, I could not work. While I wasn't raking in the dough, it was something outside the home I enjoyed. But my H literally was tied to his screen ALL DAY and didn't have the bandwidth to help our child during business hours.

I finally started talking again to an old therapist in the spring of 2021. I waited too long to do that, by then I was drinking too much wine and feeling like a monotone. That helped though I have had to add medication into the mix. Plus I started perimenopause during Covid which was a lovely addition to all the stress! But yes it has taken me a while to get back to "normal."

One thing I've learned is that experiences through Covid times vary greatly and are all valid. Maybe some had it "easier" than others. But we were all riding boats through the storm, just some had rougher waters than others. [/quote]
