Thanks to COVID-19, life as we know it hasn’t been “normal” for a while now.

The novel coronavirus, and the health precautions that came with it, sparked a full range of human emotion, including fear, gratitude, anger, grief and hope. When people are forced to uproot their lives amid a roller coaster of emotion, their mental health can suffer.

As vaccinations continue and the world gradually reopens, many people are feeling uneasy about returning to business as usual. There’s an official name for this feeling: re-entry anxiety.
