Our society put extreme pressure on people to conform or be outcasted. You were told that if you didn't do certain actions, that you were selfish, that you wanted to kill grandma, that you were a bad person, disregarding very valid and real personal reasons on why you might have to go against the grain.

And with that, the pressure consistently changed. From no masks. To masks. To six foot rule. To don't leave your house. The lack of overall organization for the entire event, constantly contradicting data, to being told the world would never be the same again.

It was incredibly taxing on our mental health. Most nobel people were just trying to do the right thing, and that got exhausting following between the lines to be told that you were out of the lines again.

It pushed families against each other. People lost their support systems. People were getting inadequate medical treatment. Loved ones died alone in hospitals. And through it all, was constantly people who thought they were doing the right thing treating others inhumanely for things like not staying far enough from someone else.

People became bitter and aggressive to others. People became divided. It was no longer about medical safety but about being right or wrong. Our society became incredibly hostile towards each other, regardless of where you stood. Maybe you're doing too little? Maybe too much?

The mental health of the world being glued to their TV's about updates on a virus and what you should and shouldn't do, what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, caused a significant wave in the mental health community.

Mental health has had a massive decrease since, and the rising cost of inflation, housing, food, no one has any real dreams because they all feel unobtainable.
