1. It isolates you

You avoid people and places because wearing a mask is exhausting.

2. It puts you in auto pilot

You just want to make it to the end of the day.

3. Produces ‘Chameleon’ like hormones

You adapt and blend in with the environment so that nobody notices your fake smile.

4. It’s like a virus

Each time you start to get better, it mutates and suddenly you’re dealing with new triggers.

5. It blindsides you

It could never be me, and then one day it was.
