I'm Natalie Lou and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions.

Hello, hello.

How are you doing?

That's a funny question these days, you know, at the start of lockdown,

I definitely thought I would end up keeping in touch of people more. Not that I'm not keeping in touch of people,

but what you realize is that after numerous weeks

of lockdown and social distancing and quarantine

depending on where we live that you know when you say how are you you just go mm-hmm yeah yeah because you know it's not that it's like same stuff like different day necessarily

although it can be depending on what we're up to but there's only really so much

you can say about you know lockdown life as such or distanced life. But what's been

quite interesting is that as the weeks have gone on, there are four particular sources of angst questions that people grapple with about how they are responding to the situation.

There are people who are wondering why they are okay.

Why am I okay?

When others are not okay.

So there's this guilt about being okay. And then some are

wondering, well why aren't I okay because you know other people like me are okay but I am not.

Then there are some of us who are like,

why do I feel so angry all the time? Why do I feel like, geez, I'm afraid to like go out in case like I just

erupt and then you know the Productivity Olympics is on and there are a lot of us

asking why aren't I doing more and there are a lot of us asking,

why aren't I doing more?

Should I be doing more?
