A note to those in quarantine:

To those of you going into, in the midst of, or coming out of the government-mandated self-quarantine, this is a note just to say that this process is not easy. And that makes sense.

Yes, what you’re doing is important, and necessary, in light of this current situation. Yes, there is probably some comfort and enjoyment in being able to be at home — to a certain extent. And yes, many people are doing a good job of bringing humor into this hard situation. Humor can be so helpful in these moments. Yet, 14 days of being all alone (for some of you, restricted to one room within your home), can be incredibly difficult and emotional.

There is a reason why solitary confinement is used as a form of punishment in many places. And no, your quarantine is not to the same extent, and most likely in much comfier environment, than that of inmates — you probably have a warm bed, your phone, Netflix, people checking in on you, the food you’re craving, likely at your disposal. In so many ways it is extremely different. However, you are still in isolation and that can be so hard.

This note is to say that during this experience, and when you come out of it, it makes so much sense if you feel sad, angry, and all kinds of other emotions. You may have done a great job of keeping yourself busy, connecting with people virtually, moving, stretching and breathing. AND difficult feelings may still arise. Let yourself feel and experience them. They are valid and they also deserve the space they’re asking for.

A reminder that these feelings, and these 14 days, are temporary. They will pass and you will move out of this. And in this moment of time, while it feels really hard, share what you can with those you love, write it down, breathe into it and give yourself the softness and compassion that this situation deserves.
