I am okay. That’s what I frequently tell friends when they ask how I am doing during this coronavirus pandemic.
And, I am okay—almost all of the time. But, sometimes I am not okay.
Recently, a friend said that she had read an interview with a mental health expert who stressed that it is okay to be not okay.
Recently, my husband told my daughter, “I am okay, but your mom is just a little crazy.”
Recently, I found this Saul Bellow quote: “In an age of madness, to expect to be untouched by madness, is a form of madness.”
