      Yes, it's a bad situation. Yoga helps me, but I'm still suffering from insomnia :(

    This short describes what people go through. It is excellent. I really like the part where she says, "It's exhausting." It truly is. We all have or do suffer from anxiety and depression. I can feel a panic attack coming and have some things I do to calm myself. I almost had one yesterday while waiting the 15 minutes after my covid vax. Too many people in one room and the thought that I might have a reaction. I had to go into survival mode. Ha... I made it out alive. Thank you for showing this film.

      I think more people are suffering from this now because of the isolation. I appreciated the Stephen King quote that started it off. I think it may be why I like horror films, where the horror is out _there_.

    Well, I have so many boxes and cases under my bed, there's no place for monsters! I've bookmarked it for later! Valerie

      I liked how it was put together and how it concluded.

    Dreadful way to feel. Stressful just to watch for ten minutes. So sad.

    That film is moving. I know too many people with depression, which is sad.

      Between the stress and the depression and the anxiety, I don't know many who aren't affected.

    I think I need to see this one. It's been quite the year for mental health issues.

    I have had people tell me they have anxiety attacks, but it's hard to wrap my head around what they must be going through. This was an eye-opener.

      Anxiety is, I think, one of the reasons people are breaking out now at the first sign of progress. It's a shame but understandable :(

    Ah, the closet is where the monsters were when I was a child. Somehow under the bed never once occurred to me, thank goodness!

    I fear that's exactly what I am suffering from right now. It is worse when you are alone without human contact for such a long period of time.

      These are hard times. I'm grateful for all the distractions, to be honest.
