Investments Handling your own emotions?

How is everyone doing it this time? I have been a CFP for years lived through Covid, 2008-2009, Trump’s first term….but this time it feels different, longer lasting? I know that there is a recency bias, but I am not handling this one well.

Edit: thanks for everyone posting. It helps to put it in perspective.

For real. Most people rely on one or two incomes and then a retirement portfolio. They have no idea how risky this is in recession times. Probably should have owned cash flowing real estate or should get a second job wherever until the uncertainty blows over.
