(wow) Words Of Wonders Level 2679 Answers – So this is week 4 of self-isolation (I think?). Days passed. I flipped through the news wondering when it would all go away, but there was no clear answer. Lately, reading little hints that the world is starting to open up again, there’s a part of me that one day we’ll be back to “normal,” and another part… I’m a little embarrassed to say. It’s loud… a part of me is never normal. The situation may come.
I’ve dealt with agoraphobia all my life, so being home for a week wasn’t too difficult for me. I’ve missed the postman before. When I see my neighbors, I pretend I’m on the phone so I have reason to make small talk with them without panicking. Then everything stopped and suddenly everything was fine. I can go out and talk to people again. Not much time, if I have to be around people for more than a few hours, I have to hide and heal for a few hours or a few days, but most of the time, if you don’t watch carefully, I do. Almost normal.

But that changed last month. A wonderful therapy in a way…I suddenly crave people, the idea of going out for lunch is like heaven. In a way, this enforced lockdown gave me time to take a deep breath and take stock. Self-distancing and social isolation can be facilitated in some ways. After all, I’ve been used to it all my life. And when I was low, I realized that I had become a new friend to the friends I trusted. Those friends and family reached out to me because I felt lonely, scared, and numb for the first time. They suddenly become aware of anxiety and depression … situational and temporary … but they don’t know how to deal with it. So I will do my best to tell them. They will get better. The worst thing is. And good.

I suspect many of us are like this … suddenly becoming experts at fighting constant fear, sadness, numbness and loneliness. Some of us feel better during this time. But it makes sense. People with anxiety disorders are constantly afraid and scared of real things. It’s a relief to have something real to focus on now. The rest of the world joins us and when you have no reason to feel bad, you feel so bad that the cognitive dissonance goes away. Some of us use this time to recover. There are people who see the rest of the world suddenly in trouble, and people who realize that this might bring some sympathy … because we see how exhausting people are now chronically afraid of the unknown, and we see that. No one is free from fear.
So I wait for the day when the world opens up again and I hope that one day will be better. But part of me is worried. I’m afraid staying at home all the time has hooked me. I fear my agoraphobia will get worse and the world will go on without me. Even now I want to drive the coach, I want to see the world behind the door, but I can’t. The fear is already there. I haven’t driven a car in a month. I don’t even know if it will start. If there is an accident, I have to go to the hospital and get antibiotics, so I thought it would be better. But deep down, I knew it was more than that.
It feels silly to write this. About the fear of not being able to leave the house when not at home
Not allowed to leave your house, but still… this is happening in my head, maybe it’s going to happen in your house too. Loneliness… there’s something to be said for not being alone.

I remind myself that I have overcome my broken brain before. I fought and won. Then it disappeared. Then fight and win. It is a cycle. Even those without mental illness can recognize it. We all fight. Fail, thrive, fail and start again. I remind myself that I have tools to help me and that when the time comes I will begin my eternal work as a human being. Just like you, like all of us.
We’ll get through this. This section and the next section and the next section. We use what we learn. Life goes on like that.
Postscript. Each week in quarantine, I’ll share one of my paintings that you can color, print, or burn. This concept is very correct.
