Throughout this pandemic, our mental health has been affected in so many ways, it has gotten out of control to where people everywhere are totally freaking out; whether they are members of the mental health community or not. And the misinformation that has been put out there by those who refuse to wear a mask when asked to do so and lashing out at people who kindly request that they wear one are freaking out over it, to the members of the mental health community suffering from the symptoms of their mental illnesses because of the pandemic itself and they go through bouts of anxiety, paranoia, etc.

As a peer advocate and a member of the mental health community, my mental health has been affected. So, as you read this update, please know that you are not alone and this pandemic, as well as the misinformation spouted out by those who are not taking their lives seriously during this pandemic, has affected our mental health in ways that can't be controlled overnight. In the following video, Farron Cousins, host of "Ring Of Fire" and "Farron Balanced", explains this situation a lot better.
