I'm just lurking because I'm too much of mess to participate (while being totally lucky and fine in external circumstance, so no need to ask for that kind of help). But listening to people talking about what helps and hurts, even when I never say anything myself, helps. It's a community.

You are welcome to lurk and I am glad to hear that lurking is giving you useful socialization. Yay for being okay in external circumstances, fingers crossed that the internal ones start being okay soon.

maybe how people are adjusting to the 'transition' as things start to open up in different areas. are they back at work? what does that look like, and how do they feel about it and whatever risks are involved?

you pose thoughtful questions, and eve if I don't comment I usually think about my answers. and it's useful/interesting to see what others are saying

[petra]

The transition to the new normal sounds like a font of good questions, you're right.

I'm glad my questions help you even if you don't answer them. Thank you!

Like dine says, questions about handling the easing of lockdowns would be good, perhaps - how it's being down, how quickly, and so on.

Good thought, thank you.

This community helps by existing. I engage when I have spoons, I read when I don't. Rather than the persistent negative I get about what is going on elsewhere, I'm seeing good bits of people's lives.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

I like that the questions seem to generally aim towards the positive or the sharing of self-help knowledge. We have the opportunity to hold up something good or hopeful, or have the chance to read something good and hopeful. Though worries and problems also have their place here too.

I stay subscribed because I am thinking that I actually like a lot of the people here and will have to start checking out their journals!
