      Same. And I can really feel it getting to me. Also what is not making things better, is that a lot of people dont care and keep on going as if things are normal, and I feel extra resentful and angry towards them.

        I feel you there. Been hunkered down since March without leaving the house other than to pick up food once or twice a week. Yet everyone around me continues going to parties, bars, and taking flights. Makes me feel like I’m doing all this for nothing and that pisses me off.

          We've been more lucky in that during summer there werent a lot of cases, so we had some socialisation back then. Yet even then it wasnt the same, there was some feeling, some anxiety when other people are around. Then we got a second wave and Ive been self-isolating for months now. New Years eve will be the first time seeing people, and Im still anxious about it, even though we will be a limited number of people who have also been taking care to stay safe ...

      After all these months of shutdowns and stay-at-home orders I think I know how bartenders feel now.

    That sucks even if its common as it has been for me many days of my life. Its especially so on a holiday when you might feel like yr missing out on everyone getting each other sick and jolly

    Living alone during normal times was very bad enough for me mentally, I can't imagine how I'd be doing now if I was living alone through all of this. I'm so sorry you're experiencing it.
