In October 2019, I moved to Yellowknife Northwest Territories for an employment opportunity and new adventure that I was extremely excited about. A few months later the world shut down due to COVID-19. Over time, the isolation of living and working from home alone, navigating a new town, and being inaccessible to my favorite people were a few of the notable factors that turned the free-spirited, social, optimistic, and bubbly Olivia; into an anxious, emotional individual who lacked motivation and was content with spending the day in bed. I became unrecognizable to family and friends, and it was at this time I came to understand the true significance of mental health.
