As noted in another thread, there are JPP members who were mentally ill before COVID, but the social and psychological impact of isolation from COVID is having an impact on most people, some much worse than others. No doubt there will be many Masters and Doctoral theses written on the subject of "the COVID Blues" in both the US and across the civilized world.

In most present articles it's termed "COVID fatigue", but "COVID Blues" goes better for those with a poetic or lyricist bent. The GOT phrase "Winter is coming" now takes on a different meaning. Winter is here.

COVID-19 Blues or Something More? How to Know When to Get Help
This isn’t an ordinary situation — and humans aren’t especially great at coping with long-term, stressful, isolating situations, especially ones we can’t do much about.

If you can’t afford therapy, there are a number of low-cost support services online, as well as hotlines and warm lines that are there to help.

Agreed. Just more specific and a little more compassionate.

JPP has a lot of different personalities, but they can be grouped into normal range, severely assholish normal range and the mentally ill. The mentally ill fall into a range themselves from mild to severe. Mild could use treatment but is functional without it. Severe is someone who needs treatment and may end up harming themselves (most common) or someone else (less common).

IMHO, INT/IBDa/gfm strikes me as one of those in the latter category. Stevie and Matt/Wolverine do too.

Our state has a 24/7 hotline that you can call if/when things are starting to get to you. Hopefully they all do.

Eh, what's a few million suicides? Boomers gotta survive, at literally any cost. Because dying is for old people, and Boomers aren't old.

Why do you give a fuck about weak asses who off themselves, MSG? Are you turning into a fucking bleeding heart liberal in your old age?

Yeah, they're really helpful. Talking to minimum wage tech support from Calcutta is all it takes to make someone feel better.

No worries, sir. Most people on JPP know you're just a LW version of CFM, Darth and the RWNJs.

You're on the fringe and only good for both a laugh and "Gee, I may be fucked up, but I'm not as fucked up as Moon!" comments.

Too much hold time.

No doubt JPP has seen an increase in activity over the past several months. They'll see that activity drop by late Spring. Whoever owns JPP should enjoy the profits why they can.

FWIW, there's a free CB app for those like you feeling a need to talk to someone. I tested it but prefer texting with family, facetime family and JPP.
 
It's a poll by a fool for fools
You'd have to be dead already to check box 1- ' No impact on me ' and even then a Covid-sick pall-bearer might drop you into your hole prematurely

You're a fluffed-up moron, Kaffer-kicker.

Haw, haw......................haw.

QED. Again, no worries, sir. Like a few others on JPP, you came into COVID with a mental illness so, no doubt, it's had little impact on you.
 
Option two is equally stupid- ' a little impact on me '.

How about a coughing roofer accidentally dropping his lunch-box on your fool head ?


Haw, haw....................................haw.
 
Option three starts to approach comedy;- ' a noticeable impact on me '

Recipient of falling lunch-box realizes he's been hit.


Haw, haw.................................................haw.
 
You've got the nerve to call this crap ' sociological/psychological', Kaffer-kicker ?

Haw, haw, haw, haw........................................haw.

I've consorted with newts. Salamanders too...and a lot of witches. Like crazy chicks, they're great but don't ever sleep with them. ;)
