You might have been putting a lid onto your feeling with believing you “should” get over it while we are all in this pandemic together. But it may be a sign of beginning stage of depression. While there are some individuals who are with depression and carrying their day-to-day tasks out, not noticing may have made the situation worse bit by bit. It is very important that we understand depression and deal with it right with warmth and non-judgmental way.
