Cabin Fever
During this time of year we call the dead of winter, cabin fever starts to settle in people’s behavior.
After so many weeks of time stuck indoors and more to come, also the constant drum beat of bad economic times as people lose jobs, it seems everyone is on edge.
People seem more argumentative, accusatory, selfish, etc.
It’s hard not to be that way in a global time that tells you you should be happy with all the things you have.
My suggestion is to get outside and do something. Walk the dog even if it is real cold…just bundle up.
Get out of the house.
And, despite the constant bombardment of barbs and digs from people all over the place, do return them. Try to understand the cabin fever they are dealing with.
