I've been relatively ok until this point. Missing my family the same as everyone is but aware that I'm in a fortunate position. I'm on mat leave. DS is 5 months and DH has been furloughed. I'm on medication for PND and had been receiving CBT which is now on hold.
After today's announcements from the PM and first minister (I live in Scotland) I just don't see how I can handle at least another 3 weeks possibly a lot more. I'm due back to work in 7 weeks so my treatment probably won't have resumed by then. Even then I'll be working from home probably so I'll have to pick up a job I haven't done in months with no face to face training. Scotland aren't to travel for exercise so I can't even go to a local park.
By the time I felt able to get it together to go and meet people at groups the threat of CV was there so I didn't go then lockdown started and I couldn't.
My mum works in a customer facing role without PPE and I worry about her every single day. She also lives alone so if she did get sick there's nobody to look after her.
Then I feel awful for feeling sorry for myself because I know people have lost loved ones and I should be fine with just staying at home for a few months but I feel like the progress I was making with my PND is being undone day by day.
