Why this time of quarantine is the perfect time to process your mental health

We all struggle with mental health. Our busy lives causes us to shove all our issues under the rug even if they are openly existed. We never had time to process it. The world suddenly pauses and it all comes back and haunts you.

Why this time of quarantine is the perfect time to process your mental health
I've taken and edited this photo myself

We all have busy lives, we work, go to school, if in existence, raise your family and so on. Mental health always exists in your life but with how busy you are, you forget it exists.


With the current COVID 19 crisis underway putting our world on stand still, all the things mentally, you shove under the rug comes back and creeps out on you. All the hardship you dealt with, all the personal issues you shoved aside, now you have time to process it all.


The thing I've discovered is that it's a lot. A lot of stuff to process, I saw a therapist weekly but now with quarantine and the time I have on hand to process my mental health, I call him twice weekly.


I am going to give you a word of advice, It has been known that some insurances are being more leaniant on how much time you talk to your therapist. I am lucky to have that advantage. If you have the advantage to talk to your therapist more than once, I advise you to go forward because trust me, you want to process it all now because you will never know when the next opportunity comes around.


Mental health is hard to process, but if you work hard to process during the time you got on your hand, you should be able to process all of it and be able to put so much behind you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
