The past two years have been hard on all of us, and everyone has found a different way to cope. You might have been so exhausted by the pandemic that you've slowly entered something called "goblin mode." In case you've never heard of the term (it was new to us, too), it's a trend that "embraces the comforts of depravity," according to The Guardian. There's no one-size-fits-all recipe for goblin mode, but it doesn't put a focus on healthy eating or appearance. "In goblin mode, an individual will do anything not to feel. Instead, they will escape by binge-watching Bravo or Netflix in bed all day while mindlessly scrolling on social media eating snacks rather than actual food to allow them to lose track of reality altogether," licensed psychotherapist and founder of Westside Counseling Center in Los Angeles Susan Zinn said.
