I am already struggling to find foot in my career and my mental health has deteriorated during lockdown so much that I became numb and detached from the reality for a while.Plus all the news during the period triggered it more.I may sound irrational but really don’t want a lockdown again.

Thanks for the comment, it made me feel I ain't alone. I am going through a tough phase in my career and all this has caused unnecessary tensions in my life with lockdowns which are useless in my opinion. I am yet to settle down and my aims in doing so have been passing through hurdles of government which is not in my control.

I am on medications too from a psychiatrist which atleast helps me keep calm otherwise without medicines I get extreme anxiety, stress and hopelessness to end my life. But I wont just for my parents.

It gave me free time to conceive a child

I also watched this documentary

Now I’m contemplating doing a documentary on all those trips to Pakistan I took in 2018/2019. I have mad videos and pictures to share and show 🤔

I was already a workaholic but now I've become so obsessed with work. I'm putting in more hours and the little breaks that I used to take in office and the travel time that used to distract me from work are gone now. Worse part is I get so annoyed when people in my team don't match up or don't do as much as I do. It's a big problem that I've identified and I've tried to work fixed hours but I get so anxious about missing something "important".

Another thing that I'm obsessed with is news. I am so affected by all the news about vaccine shortage, shortage of beds, people dying outside hospitals, shortage of medicines, lockdown fears. I go through so many emotions and I get so frustrated and I know that I'm getting mentally affected. I swing between anger and helplessness and it makes me feel so weak and useless.

I've changed so much. My body and mind are so confused. Last year, I didn't meet anyone outside of my family and when the number of cases went down in December, it was weird to casually walk out of the house and go visit people or invite people home. I got so used to seeing no one that when people started coming home, I was a little weirded out. And just when I was getting used to the fact that maybe we're getting back to normal days, the same fear of lockdown is back

My final year of masters degree got f*cked up. I haven't learned shit.

I’m not sure if I have corona right now, but i have flu, pain in throat these days. It could be because of my asthmatic history as well🤔 Kinda confused if i should get tested or not.

Get tested sweety.....its not just for urself but also for the people around you....so you can take necessary precautions...hopefully if u turn out negative ..it will ease your mind if nothing else....hope you feel better soon..❤️

For me the only good part of this pandemic was work from home....I am loving it.....usually for me the driving to work and back takes away almost 3 hours...I start at 6 in the morning and still I get traffic jams on the highways....u reach work already exhausted and tired...then the gas , parking, clothes and makeup😆...I am saving on that....because u get up from bed and go straight to ur desk..log in and ur work starts.....I am seriously dreading when we will have to go back😒

Good job seeking and taking help 👍🏼👏...wish more people would do that instead of suffering silently....yes please never give up...think about your loved ones❤️ This too shall pass....hope you feel better 🤗

I forgot how me and the world looked without masks 😟

My productivity and mental health had gone down the drain. I am barely hanging by . I got my second dose of vaccine two days ago and my office is planning to reopen soon( I have been doing work for home for a year now ). I am not even sure if I am ready to go back to normal and socially interact with people.

Just saw a recent documentary on this how people will struggle coping to new normal but believe me humans are natural at adapting u will get used to back to work and social interaction naturally! And ur vaccinated so no worries at all!
