I'm not that stressed. So I imagine my remarks will likely be unforgivable and unwelcome, no matter how hard I try to be PC and try to signal that "I'm trying to be helpful and supportive."

My dad grew up in the Great Depression and fought in two wars. My mom grew up in Germany during WW2 and its aftermath.

I was molested and raped as a child. I and my oldest son have a deadly genetic disorder.

I and my sons have spent nearly twenty years arranging our lives so we can work from home, avoid people, control germs, etc. The pandemic is mostly business as usual for us, plus some so far relatively minor inconveniences because of stores changing their hours and some things being sold out.

I spend part of my time wondering if there's some way to share useful information with the world or if people would literally rather die than show me one iota of respect, having treated me like a loon for years. Other than that, it's mostly business as usual for me.

That includes:

Playing games to keep myself occupied when I can't do other things.

Hanging out on online forums as my primary form of socializing because it's germ free.

Cooking at home or picking up takeout, as usual.

Taking the trash out immediately after meals so germs can't fester in my home.

I have no upholstered furniture and no carpeting because those things are gross health hazards for me.

I occasionally manage to work a little. After eating and gaming and caretaking, I can sometimes focus enough to write for pay, blog or further pro bono projects I'm involved with. I've done remote work for years. Business seems to be ticking up slightly for me at the moment.

During stressful times, I have a policy of "bread and circus." That means keep people fed and keep them entertained and harmlessly occupied.

I try to not do anything stupid that makes things worse because we're stressed out. I try to cut people slack for being cranky jerks. Don't escalate conflicts. Instead, de-escalate them.

Don't avoid addressing real problems that actually need to be addressed though. If x is making things worse, now is a good time to insist as politely and firmly as possible that "X has to stop/change because there's a pandemic on and we just cannot allow such behavior. It's literally life-threatening now. Please and thank you, but absolutely no."

Stay informed. Focus on practical, helpful information. Don't get caught up in panic and hysteria. The world has been on the brink before and gotten through it. Honest.

(Watch Men in Black again sometime. I absolutely love the line about how the world is constantly on the brink of being destroyed and it's imperative that the world just not know it so they can be happy.)

Somewhere in there, that morphed from first person "here's what I do" to a more third person "here's what you should do." framing. I don't know how to fix it and I don't really care that much, tbh. I'm extremely tired of "no amount of trying to be polite on my end protects me from open hatred and contempt."

Sorry you are so stressed. I hope you find practical answers for your problems. That's the best way to reduce stress: by problem solving.
