[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2398443, member: 365308"] I didn't feel this way myself because I refused to be kept under house arrest when not infectious. However I have found that I know people who are very anxious and/or depressed about going out again despite the very low risks of doing so. My client this morning has only just gone to a supermarket and I though he was super brave to come into the gym. He told me he'd declined the chance of a garden party because he just felt overwhelmed. But he made it onto a train today and came and spent his hour in the gym with me. The gym is super clean with limited numbers but I could see he found it tough to overcome his anxiety and do his session. The point of this anecdote is that the only way to escape this prison is to open the door and walk out of it into the sunshine (not today maybe!). It is totally understandable that your mental health has suffered as any normal human's would but as Lamont D has pointed out it is you that will find ways to move on. First action might be NOT listening to the mainstream news. [/QUOTE]
