[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2287474, member: 520947"] Hi Alan. Firstly I understand your concerns about public transport. The most useful piece of advice I received off my Union was about The Infection Control Fund. The government set this up so employers can fund taxis to work rather than use public transport. Any transport poses a risk other than your own car. I dont drive and would have to access two buses to work so a 7 minute taxi ride with windows open probably less risky . No you are most certainly not on your own. From personal experience I dont know anyone regardless of age,health issues,financial situation whose mental health hasn't been affected in some way even if only briefly. I think its actually caused the Coronavirus rollercoaster where you can feel positive one day and lost and drifting the next. I've probably had 3 days when tearful and anxious and unable to focus on anything in particular. Everyone's circumstances are different. Share your concerns with your work place . The environment should be Covid Safe and they should work with you as someone who has been shielded on an individual risk assessment to further reduce your risk. To quote a popular saying Its okay not to be ok! There are lots of places that can provide support and reassurance including the Disbetes.Uk helpline. [/QUOTE]
