Back in May 2020, we asked our HVNY community on Instagram how everyone was doing during our recap of the daily coronavirus briefing from then-New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo. We weren’t sure anyone would answer, honestly, but a lot of you answered, honestly. And many of you felt scared, anxious, you were drinking a lot more, uncertain about finances, uncertain about other people, very ‘meh’ and secretly relieved to have a little free time. It’s okay whatever you are feeling, and even if it changes day-to-day.

If you want to get it out, send us an email, or use the anonymous form below to share how you’re feeling. Please note: We are your neighbors, not health professionals. Dial 911, or call or text 988, the national crisis and suicide hotline, if you need immediate help.
