Elmo posted a question on social media asking how everyone was doing.
艾摩在社交媒体上发布了一个问题，询问大家都过得怎么样。
A flood of responses came in with many sharing their heartfelt loneliness, grief and stress.
该帖子收到了大量的回复，许多人分享了他们发自内心的孤独、悲伤和压力。
What's going on here? Well, what's supposed to happen is we all live in communities, where we see each other regularly, have fun together and that takes our minds off things.
发生了什么？嗯，应该发生的事情是我们都生活在团体中，我们定期见面，一起玩得很开心，这样我们就可以忘记其他事情。
If someone else looks different than usual, we check in on them and talk about what's happening.
如果其他人看起来与平时不同，我们会检查他们并讨论发生了什么。
This idea of socially supporting each other might be one of the most important things we can do for our mental health.
这种在社会上相互支持的想法可能是我们可以为心理健康做的一大重要的事情。
But for many of us, that's not happening. We feel alone and isolated.
但对我们许多人来说，并没有这种支持。我们感到孤独和孤立。
And it's hard to have the kind of space that allows for these types of conversations to happen.
而且很难有足够的空间来进行这样的对话。
So think about who you haven't seen or heard from in a while. Reach out to them.
因此，思考一下你已经有一段时间没见到或听到过谁的消息了。主动联系他们。
You can text them or send them a hand waving emoji or a silly gift.
你可以给他们发短信，发送打招呼的表情符号，或者送愚蠢的礼物。
Ask them what they're up to or invite them to hang out.
询问他们在做什么或邀请他们出去玩。
Don't feel any pressure to have a serious mental health discussion.
不要感到有任何压力来进行严肃的心理健康讨论。
Just see where the conversation goes. Just connecting with someone you care about and being together can be a massive source of support, kind of like Elmo was in that tweet.
只要看看对话进行到哪里就可以了。只要与你关心的人联系并待在一起就可以成为巨大的支持来源，就像艾摩在那条推文中做的那样。
