So here I am! By myself in New York City, arguably the WORST place to be right now, for 3+ weeks and probably for another 1.5 months, at least. I’ve had person-to-person contact with the people at, like, CVS – but that’s it. I haven’t seen any family members or any friends.

There’s a lot to be stressed about lately due to the coronavirus pandemic: Confirmed cases of COVID-19 keep rising, stock market volatility is causing panic, jobs are at risk and store shelves are emptying. But there’s a lot more at stake here than toilet paper. I’m talking about mental health, particularly for millennials.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE, AMIRITE?! Ok, I’ll admit…all the Quarantine memes can be pretty funny, but, in all honesty—the world is going through a lot of turmoil right now because of the Coronavirus. And, well, it can be triggering. If all the Coronavirus talk is causing you to feel all sorts of emotions—you’re not alone and you shouldn’t be ashamed.
