This lockdown is making me sad

This lockdown is starting to affect me a lot.
I work since I was 16 and never been without job or studies. Now at 33, I’m home since middle March. Being pregnant help me to cope with this new situation as I know is the best for the baby and gave me plenty of time to prepare his arrival. But I get to a point where:
I miss my family So much (don’t see them already for a year and I cannot travel to see them and probably only next year I’ll be able to)
I miss my work and as it will only open around the due date of my baby means I’ll be able only to return after maternity leave
I’m tired of the same routine at home, I think I cannot be a house wife
I was enjoying baking but then I been diagnosed with GD, so not even stuff my face in sweets or junk food I can
I went a few times to the shops and got panic attacks
Partner started work last month and he’s doing 7 days in 7 days out in 12h shift meaning when he’s working I barely See him. Those are the most difficult days
And that’s it...

Why don’t you bake savouries like foccacia. Can your parents come to you rather than you going to them? I used to work all the time and currently on mat leave I’m not a housekeeper by any means but do what I need to to keep things tidy.
