It's not really the isolation, because isolation doesn't bother me and I've got Mike. I'm not by myself.

But the thing that really, really gets to me is the grocery shopping. And that has given me such anxiety that I can hardly bear it sometimes.

On Friday we walked in and there was no meat This whole huge grocery store, no meat. And that frightened me. It was like, "Oh my God, is this what we're going to be facing for the rest of our lives?”

And so, something that I used to enjoy a lot, especially since Mike and I started grocery shopping together, has now become this source of anxiety. And it's going to probably be that way for a long time.
