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'm sorry comrade. Just venting here but I am so jealous and envious of WFH people during the pandemic. Other than wearing a face mask covid had no effect on my life except being extremely under staffed at work and extremely over worked. Too poor to order Amazon so groceries and so on was the same. I even did alot of grocery packaging for mutual aid networks. I understand and empathize with you but I can't help but feel like alot of people higher up socially or white collar types have separation anxiety from their isolation and I probably would too but also, I have anxiety every day but can't opt out; it's not an option. Again no judgment against you but this is the other side of the coin.
