i encountered PTSD last spring due to COVID and my husband being an ER MD and 2 college girls and on and on..... I never saw it coming and ended up off work for 2 months and on an antianxiety med. I do not judge others, but now I know what the low feels like. It was not fun. Being strong and faking it took the back seat and is gone now :)

This article was very well written and very interesting to read. As a nurse working with Covid-19, stress and anxiety has been a problem. I am working with a counselor and have learned ways to cope with the workplace stress as well as with other stressors that come about in life. I liked how a couple of different treatment modalities were presented in the article as not everyone responds the same way or heals the same way.

The first three surges were so stressful. The nightmares are for sure real. I believe the impact will be on us for a long time.
