I had a rough time being isolated for several months on end, especially near the end where I was possibly a hair away from a legitimate nervous breakdown. Even though things have been largely "back to normal" for me since mid-late April, I feel like the effects are still lingering and that I get anxious/depressed more easily than I did before.

    I'll be the counter example. I actually went through some heavy depression in 2019 and was on the way back up when pandemic hit. I actually felt better staying at home doing nothing knowing everyone else was doing the same.

      Went through something similar with anxiety. Got worse for the first two months of it, but somehow watching society go crazier than I was brought me back around lmao

      Does it feel like your world is collapsing now that everyone is "returning to normal," or is that just me? I don't want anybody else to die and I feel absolutely horrible admitting this, but a small part of me felt relieved when people started talking about new strains.
