I'm having a really difficult time with quarantine and my family members. Everybody has a different idea of what is safe and I feel like we're all fighting with each other silently about how to do quarantine. My mom is like super OCD about everything and worried and then my brothers just don't even care.

Yeah, can see how that would cause some more issues than normal. Do you feel like this is materially different then how your family usually functions? Or is quarantine sort of like their usual patterns are ramped up?

Um. It its pretty similar to normal, but it's just like way more. More fighting more yelling more stress

I see. Yes, I’ve noticed that quarantine has been putting the world on blast and everything is ramped up. What are you doing to step away or lower your exposure or stress around it all?

Seriously nothing at all like I don't even have any idea what to do other than be on my phone and I hate it

Don’t be so hard on yourself! Everyone has things they want to change about themselves. Key is making small changes each day. Staying positive, finding space, choosing your battles. Not every problem has to be your problem Or requires your involvement. It’s ok to step away. It doesn’t make you a bad person and doesn’t mean you won’t return
