It’s been more than a year since the pandemic started and I can count with the fingers of both hands the number of times I went out. I have adjusted surprisingly well considering I live alone, but the cracks have started to show in the past few months. There are times when I talk to myself out loud. My social skills have declined and I find myself unable to respond during meetings and video calls. I get tired when I get multiple deliveries in a day or when I interact with a lot of people. My wellbeing is not doing so good.
So when Google invited me to a Well-being Day with Ronald Del Castillo, PsyD, MPH of DIWA Mental Health, I knew I needed to go.

If you can’t get BTS’s new hit song out of your head, maybe you’d like to score some TinyTAN face masks to complete the experience?
When I first started living on my own, I told myself that I would do it all. I would cook, clean, do the laundry, take care of the plants, and all the chores that came with leading a household. I live in a family-sized house, which I would soon learn is more difficult to maintain on my own than a room or a condo unit. Eventually, something had to give and I gave up cooking. Now, I sign up for a meal prep service or have food delivered when I’m craving something specific.
