Seems a good time to remind yourself that how you are thinking and feeling is likely a NORMAL response to EXTRAORDINARY circumstances
There is support and help out there
It is absolutely OK to not feel OK, but don’t ignore it

“Being kind” is important but it may not be sufficient
When we are exhausted, our ability to empathise is impaired and, when we can’t, we can feel we’ve failed even more
As with #FightFatigue, we need individual AND systemic supports for this, or else “be kind” can become empty
