for me, it’s been that i am at peace with being unemployed right now. i was stressing out about finding a job and going back to work before all of this. but now i know i just need to be patient about that and count my blessings i have an ssdi income.
silver lining for me is that it makes me feel connected with everyone as we are all going through it. Also, I am personally able to do everything that I need to do – I still have a job and I can complete my dissertation with all this quiet time.
I just talked to my son. He is 26. He says if all this craziness doesn’t end soon he is moving back to Louisiana. He currently lives in Arizona so that would be nice but I am sick of this social distancing already and I am not a very social animal.
For me I am so grateful for all the good I have through this drama.
When I had voices and was delusional I didn’t think family loved me and thought they wanted to kill me etc now I have family and that’s a great support and feeling and I also have a boyfriend I love.
I also believed lots of wierd things etc
My silver lining is that I’m not psychotic.
Despite all the drama I have not had a episode and am rather stable.
No positive symptoms which I’m happy about.
The silver lining in a broader sense is that this is a dress rehearsal for the next pandemic. Hopefully we will learn how to allocate our resources efficiently and know what to do if a worse virus comes along.
My husband still has a job and is able to work from home. It is nice to have him around more, and he gets to skip the hour and a half round trip to work. Otherwise this coronavirus pandemic is dangerous and very serious.
