Let’s talk about resilience fatigue. Because if you’ve been paying any sort of attention to the world since 2020, you’re probably feeling it. Big time. 

“Everyone was telling each other to stay safe. People were sharing tips on where to buy things like toilet paper. We rallied behind frontline healthcare workers, and there was just a sense that we were all in this together,” says Margaret Harbison, MD, a psychologist with Centra in Marlton. “We were so positive in the beginning, but we’ve totally lost that sense of solidarity.”

What happened? We’ve entered a phase of the pandemic that some are calling resilience fatigue, the exhaustion that sets in after a prolonged period of having to stay motivated or positive.

“Resilience is work,” says Harbison. “It doesn’t just come to you. At the beginning, it was easier for people to counter the hard parts of the pandemic with gratitude. There were good things about working from home, getting to be with pets and kids, throwing a load of clothes in the laundry while working. But of course the goal posts of life going back to normal keep moving further back, and people are frustrated and tired of the pandemic.”

Harbison says it’s healthy to acknowledge that frustration. “We did lose our old way of life – all the graduations, weddings and birthday parties missed, it’s cumulative,” she says. “We should mourn those losses because they are real.”
