By now we've all probably figured some small ways to create normalcy in this pandemic. We schedule weekly videochats with family or we made designated work from home space in our homes. As much as we are grateful to still have a home or a job, we can feel like something is still off. We feel sad or anxious and there seems to be no real reason why. So we start comparing our experience to the stories we've heard from friends and the news about the significant increase in unemployment, tent cities and homelessness. All of a sudden we feel guilt for even thinking of complaining. In this week's episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about crisis comparison and how we invalidate our own experience because we see that someone else has it harder. Every experience is valid and your feelings around not being able to live your norm are legitimate. It does not mean that we don't acknowledge the differences, we just don't assign a value that downplays what we're going through because we see the difference. Have you been comparing your experience to that of others? Do you invalidate your grief because it's "not as bad as" someone else's? Share your thoughts!
