Then, the world became engulfed in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which required people everywhere to make drastic changes to their lives in order to protect themselves and others against this novel virus. These changes, and the global malaise surrounding the pandemic, have heightened some of the PTSD symptoms that I had learned to cope with efficiently. Just like that, within 2 weeks of social distancing measures being put in place, I found myself expanding considerable energy managing these symptoms. While I understand that people need a positive outlook on the situation in order to keep hope, I cannot help but think about those of us for whom it is just not going to be alright. I also hope that sharing my experience will spark a conversation among health care workers about PTSD, as they are themselves currently dealing with immense stress and trauma.	./cache/cord-309264-jtid5g1p.txt	./txt/cord-309264-jtid5g1p.txt
