Stories of COVID™

By Veronica Kirin

"[Listening to] Stories of COVID has been really helpful in reminding me to be ok with the [ups and downs] — literally daily affirmations." - one of our listeners

183. Bethany E. — Anxiety as a Healthcare Worker

Bethany is a physical therapist, and found herself on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 at the hospital where she works.  She describes her increased anxiety, mental health struggles, and how the ever-changing regulations and guidelines impacted her work and her life during the pandemic.  Interviewed 25 May 2021.

A note from Bethany (CW: eating disorders):

"Along with my anxiety and bipolar type 2, I have been in recovery for bulimia for a few years.  It's something that I have struggled with since 10 years old.  Despite the high anxiety, stress, and isolation of the pandemic, I was able to stay in recovery with the help of my wife, family, friends, and medical support team.  With the stress levels high at work, the increased isolation, and increased risk for bulimic behaviors due to less socialization, the risk for relapsing was high.  Yet, despite that, I was and am able to stay in recovery.  Being able to keep appointments with my counselor, dietician, and psychiatrist via telehealth was vital to keep me strong in recovery.  Communication with my family and friends in any way allowed me to stay healthy.  Without them, it wouldn't have been possible.  Now I know I can stay in recovery because if I can do it through a pandemic, I can do it at any point."
