I have always had anxiety but very manageable. Ever since covid it has skyrocketed. It does Not seem like it will ever end. Live alone so that gives me too much time to think. Self isolating is horrible. Feel like if I go out I will get the virus. I just want to feel like myself again. Has anyone else struggled with covid.

I struggle with anxiety and depression and have been shielding since lockdown in March because of lung condition,I am still not mixing with people and only see my daughter who does my shopping for me,I don’t mix with anybody else because this virus has made me so scared of catching it the worry has taken over my life and living alone makes me worse.so you are not alone and I hope we both get to see better days take care and stay safe.x

Thank You. It is very hard living alone. I had also just retired. To add to it. I pray we both see better days soon. Take care. Glad you have your daughter.

I can definitely relate as I have been in quarantine for six months since my husband has heart failure. His doctor told us to both stay home, which is very hard and is wearing on me. Perhaps we can write each other and try to make it better for us.

Congratulations on your recent retirement!! 👏🏼🥳

But yeah, it’s been hard on me too. With my immune system issues, I haven’t been out much either. Thankfully work just started up again and it keeps me busy but it still isn’t the same as “normal” life

If you ever need anyone to chat with, hit me up! 😊
