There’s a lot of Twitter sentiment telling people they don’t have to be productive now. Agreed, but for me productivity is a coping strategy for depression/anxiety. Being productive generates hope. It is also okay to drive yourself to distraction with work if that’s what you need

Here’s a question - are you guys struggling to do your work now? I know I am, but I find that using main force to do it anyway Is keeping me sane.
I think the fact that I have work to do is about the only thing keeping me from sliding into depression. My contract is done in about a week, there's nothing lined up beyond that, job market is frozen solid. If I couldn't still be writing, I think I'd sink.

Then I’m glad you’re writing, friend. If my contacts can be of use to you in getting another contract in place, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Luckily, my income isn't the primary one. And I've got an article to get into peer review, and after that a dissertation to turn into a book contract. And the blog, which is also good for my mental health. It means I'm not writing alone, I'm writing with friends.

I’m in a similar place. My writing has slowed somewhat because online teaching takes more time and I was teaching a lot already, but writing and catching up on scholarship are coping mechanisms.
