Is this how folks during march/ April 2020 felt like when it came time for reno/addition

Hi everyone. Given how fast things are moving/imploding according to the news cycle, is this how people felt like during the year 2020? I, as a consumer, feel like the 4 walls are closing in and nowhere to run. Been working on the plan for a year and almost time to look for bids and this year has been disastrous so far. Anyone who survived that period have any tips for persevering thru this with our heads and minds still screwed on right please? Besides bracing for labor and material costs, is there anything else we should prepare for? Sorry for having a meltdown would appreciate any leads.
