good for you for doing that. (I find it helps me to participate.)

Was it a group that had professionals in to make that diagnosis on your behalf. If not, sometimes listening to what people might think you have can cause greater anxieties. If you feel you are having problems making connections and this is starting to impact your wellbeing, maybe you should discuss it with your Doctor who can advise on the best way forward. 😊
Yes there were doctors on the call
Yes it helped and hopefully here will too?
The emotional toll was heavy, for me also, after not hugging my loved ones for 6 months
. GOD know's I am a Hugger, and I can hug a complete stranger on some occasion's 
. I too was feeling emotionally drained. I hugged my grandson, because I didn't know when I would see him again 
. He was leaving, and going back to his home in the suburbs 6 hours away, and I hadn't seen him or my great grandchildren, and his wife in 3 years . Video calls are great, but they will never replace in person visit's. They are all safer where they live in the suburbs. My great grands are going back to school, and this does cause me some discomfort . I pray GOD will keep them, and the other children going back to school safe . Yesterday my 8, and 10 year old cousin's hugged me. I so missed hugging them, and spending time with them. I took pictures from a safe distance of their baby sister born early august 2020 , who had a baby face shield on .On this day yesterday I was at another cousin's front yard garden baby shower. My cousin is having twins , which are due in mid November. 2020 . I am proud to say that everyone, including the children had properly worn masks on . The food was served by one person with gloves on for each individual attendee . Some people took food home. Right after we left there was a virtual baby shower for those who couldn't attend the in person one . I pray you/we all will have complete joy again very soon .
I haven't seen my 3 Sons, partners, wife and 2 grandchildren since middle of February! They live in Nottingham, Wednesbury and King's Heath Birmingham! I am in North Yorkshire near Harrogate! Was able to see my daughter and 2 grandchildren living nearest to me end of June but haven't been able to see them since due to work commitments as well! Got 1 granddaughter living in Sheffield with her Mother, my eldest Son's ex wife! I sadly don't see her at all but trying to keep in touch by writing letters etc!
Now 4 grandchildren are back in 🏫 school and the youngest, 9 months old, spents special daddy time with my youngest son at home! I do find it tough emotionally at times as I miss them so much! But I am thankful that I am still well enough to work and earn my upkeep for now ❤️
Yesssss we still have so much to be thankful for. Our health, and our loved one's health. I /we await the day when we can hug our loved one's again. On that day I will be stuck to my loved ones like velcro

Lady in the downstairs flat has a very sick husband. She bought a single sized plastic mattress cover and got in and hugged her daughter. I had a hug on the other side and then it was disinfected!!🤣🤣
Mind you when she heard he didn’t have long to live we said B.g..r Covid and had a hug!
