Anyone else's anxiety increased during the lockdown?

Mine's certainly has. I've been getting chest pressures and anxiety in general has gotten worse. Not as bad as other moments but still not that good either. Sleep has been difficult. I have done my usual "one exercise per day" routine that the lockdown requires everyone to do (I'm from the UK btw) but after that I end up in the house again feeling tense. I do have plenty of things to keep me entertained but yeah. Anyone else been feeling the same thing?

Yess! my anxiety/mental health has taken a turn for the worse, and i dont think we're alone with that.

everytime i get tightness in my chest (from anxiety) I start thinking, "oh crap, I have symptoms of corona"

and what is sleep? haha the last week, i have had bare minimal.

I think we just have to stay positive and safe and realise this is all temporary.

Hello :-)

I am agoraphobic so the staying in well that is my life anyway but the fear this virus is causing me I don't feel I even know myself any more , the fear is sending me crazy and taking over :-(

You are not alone but we hopefully can help each other get through this :-)

Take care x
