There is even a name for "Covid Fatigue" which is similar to the name given in the 1940s for World war II which was "Battle Fatigue" which is what they called PTSD before the 1950s to 1970s when PTSD became popular as a term during the Viet Nam War.
So, when someone says they have "Covid Fatigue" they are telling you that they have Coronavirus PTSD which everyone on earth has right now.
Covid Fatigue causes various kinds of aberrant behavior in human beings. Being able to recognize this is important to remaining healthy.
Because you can be in a crisis situation and be forced to change your behaviors and still survive that situation as long as you understand what is happening to you in the process. But, if you are in denial your long term chances of survival decrease markedly.
Why?
Because if you don't see what is happening you might make a small mistake in judgement which could be fatal in the era of Coronavirus to either you or a family member or a friend.
Almost all of us have lost someone we know (or more than one) worldwide to coronavirus by now and all of us now know someone who has had coronavirus and lived through it as well.
And these deaths cause us all a certain level of PTSD as well.
The more deaths you personally have to deal with the less likely you will be fully functional into the future.
However, there is another way to look at it. I'm 72 and all my parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles have passed away already as well as about 1/2 of my cousins and over half of my best friends and I'm still okay because this happened over a 60 or more year period. So, you can survive these sorts of things if you are properly prepared for them too.
The biggest thing that helped me survive all these people passing is having children and needing to raise them properly while all these people I was close to died along the way.
So, often hope comes in the form of your families and your children and grandchildren regarding all this.
By God's Grace
