Does Wonder Woman ever have bad days? How does she feel after she saves the day? I can definitely say that I am good in a crisis. When an emergency arises, I am clear-headed about what needs to happen and I take action.
It’s afterwards when the threat has passed that the downward spiral begins. This is when self-judgment, anxiety, and mopiness sets in. When I lose my footing and slip into negativity like this I find I have to remind myself to be positive about being negative, even (if you can believe it) when it comes to a negative COVID-19 test result.

Thank you for listening!
I have been waiting for this reflection on what it is like to have COVID. Thank you. And yes, I do think even Wonder Woman has bad days and has to wait for her tank to fill up on its own. You are very brave and insightful; may this be how your tank gets filled again and quickly.
Hi Akasha,
Thanks and glad you are feeling better.
You are a good sport!
