I've been working at home a lot as well, so I'm no longer a daily shaver. However, because I'm not in a rush in the morning, I've gotten to enjoy a lot more leisurely shaves. So nice...
My friend, nobody is immune. Mental health issues affect all age groups and all demographics. Be well, stay safe, and get outside if you can. I continue to wish you all the best life has to offer.My health forced me into retirement sooner than I wanted, and I let myself wallow for MUCH too long. This place helped. But even though it's winter here, my toughest time of year, I'm getting better, one step at a time. Starting to build a routine. Anyone who thinks they are immune from mental health issues better pray that they're right!
What @Eclipse Red Ring Is doing is VERY important to being successful with working from home.I have made a conscious decision and effort to maintain standards while working at home. I rise in the morning at the regular time, I dress for work in the office as normal, and I shave in the same way that I always have, and maintain my usual good hygiene and grooming. I do not want to become one of those guys that turns into a mess and gains 40lbs due to working at home, I can see it happening to some of my colleagues. I work fixed hours at home so as to maintain a healthy work life balance, and I take daily exercise and spend quality time with my wife. If I let my physical standards slip, including shaving, then I fear that my mental health will soon begin to suffer and I will rapidly deteriorate. So far so good but to be honest I am starting to struggle a bit.
Thank you, sincerely. I was a psychiatric nurse, and often said to my clients that it's not a long distance from one side of the table to the other. I told a client once that I was on antidepressants and he about fainted. He seemed at first to be disappointed that his nurse was on meds! But then he really (I believe) came to the point where he found hope that he could feel better if I could. So MUCH of nursing is empathy, when lots of people think it's about sympathy.My friend, nobody is immune. Mental health issues affect all age groups and all demographics.

"Mens sana in corpore sano" as the saying goes. A physical routine confers a noticeable dividend to one's mind.My health forced me into retirement sooner than I wanted, and I let myself wallow for MUCH too long. This place helped.

One cannot trust others to look out for your best health, especially a boss.
I hope your patients didn't receive red t-shirtsHmmm... Hate y'all.
I'm a 48 y/o research nurse, insulin dependent 46 of those years. Worked in-patient starting in March on the remdesevir study, back to clinic about June to start with the Pfizer & Moderna vaccine studies. We have jokes about this- admin people at our facility received green t-shirts, direct-care received blue.
Blue to Green: "Oh, so you're telling everyone you spent last year in your underwear, playing Playstation...?"
Seriously, a good daily shave has been part of maintaining sanity. In a crazy world, its the one thing over which you have absolute control.
