When you hear the sound “mayday, mayday” on a ship, it is a
distress call. During this
quarantine, “mayday” will be the sound of many people in relationships. Too often, people have come together
for the wrong reasons. During this
time of pandemonium, couples will learn whether or not they actually
like one
another. There is nothing like a
good quarantine to make you face the fact you are in a relationship with
someone you don’t like or respect.
Without an escape, like work, you are forced to deal with that person
24/7.
While there will be many pregnancies in nine months, there
will be many divorces. If your
marriage was weak, it will crumble under the pressure of being forced in to
close quarters with one another, especially if you lack communication skills
needed for high pressure situations.
The saving grace is technology. With video chats, people can engage friends and family
around the world in real time. It
allows people to foster their bonds during these trying times. It also allows people to receive
support from friends, family and mental healthcare professionals who know how
to help people bridge communication gaps.
At the same time, not everyone handles stress with
ease. If you have young children
and a spouse, you may be facing pressure unlike anything you have ever seen in
your life. You are a parent,
teacher, chef, babysitter, spouse, psychologist and doctor. In the middle of that, you are
terrified that you or someone in your home can catch the deadly virus. Since this situation is indefinite, if
could appear to be an eternity.
Let’s use this time as an outlet to support one
another. What are you going
through?
