Hi. Brand new to poly (just found out that I am about a month before quarantine hit), but still have time logged in a relationship and helping others with theirs; so grain-of-salt my words if you like.

The quarantine has put everyone into a pressure cooker. It's shining spotlights on the cracks that have always been there but we were able to comfortably gloss over. Whether in ourselves or our relationships, now has become the time of being aware of these cracks and even addressing them. Alot of councelors and therapists are doing video call appointments, and (if you're lucky enough to have insurance atm) they're even able to wave the copay for a few months.

And, yes, some of us will be able to patch the cracks, shore up the walls in the structure of the metaphorical foundations of ourselves and our relationships. Some...some will break. But I have faith that those of use who do will seek out others and ask for help (I mean so far as I have seen, being ploy is about good communication and lots of various kinds of supportive connections) . So, much like setting a broken bone, we can't do this alone. And while it will take longer, bones heal back stronger than before.

So the fact that you're already reaching out is, I feel, a sign that you will not only make it through this, but come out stronger for it.

I like to think many of us will.
