mental health

I’ve been really struggling with my mental health. My family are great but I don’t leave the house. I even work from home now and I have other people doing my shopping for me. My friends have their own life and I feel very isolated. I miss living.

Hello, sorry you are struggling at the moment, I think it takes a mental and physical toll on us all. I have had CBT which helped me to cope better although it doesn’t always work.

Are you invited out with friends? Like to stay in more now?

I also wfh and it’s a blessing for me as I can be poorly without having to go into detail and I feel I can be ill to a certain extent without anyone else knowing.

Hiya I’m on morphine and have been in and out of hospital. I have had to miss out on a lot of stuff. I feel kind out of sight out of mind. I know working from home is a god send. My work are extremely supportive.

It sounds incredibly tough, and it's understandable you miss living. It's great you have family support. Could you perhaps explore online therapy options or talk to your doctor about resources for agoraphobia or social anxiety? Even small steps, like a short walk outside, can be a start. You're not alone in this.
