I'm starting to lose it now

[coffeeandbooks]

I can't do these lockdowns anymore, I've suffered with depression and anxiety for years now and it's managed okay so far during the past year but I've come to a point where I can't do it anymore.

Everyday is the same, no engagement, no friends, no new environment. 1 walk at the weekend with my parents is it for me at the moment and the park and seafront are all I see.

I'm studying my degree as well (online obviously) and I feel so disconnected and unmotivated.

I just want it all to be over but I think we have another year ahead of us.

No mental health provisions, 6 sessions of CBT on the phone was it, completely unaffected and disconnected from my therapist.

I've been trying to stay positive but it's all hit me this evening and I feel pent up like an animal 😞 I've been having nighttime panic attacks lately which are so terrifying and make me scared of falling asleep.

Hey coffee

iIam more or less in the same position. I'm a final year uni student and I have not touched any assignments and have no motivation whatsoever. March isn't too far off, with the clocks changing and with the brighter weather. Hang on in there! if you need to talk were always here.

What would you normally be doing?

I've worked from home for 20 years so not much different there, but I did travel with work a lot, out 2/3 days a week most weeks. I dont miss traffic jams or airports.

Weekends dont feel much different at all, I do a lot round the house and walking the dogs, just the same in lockdown as not

Sorry no real help to you I know

@VeganVeal No it's okay! Thank you,

I'm early 20's would would normally be at uni, out with friends regularly etc

@MadamMaltesers Thank you! I'm so happy it's starting to get darker a touch later now, pitch black 4pms were unbearable

What are you studying? I'm psychology.

You're not alone, lots of students struggle. Here's one YouTube video about student experience that you may find relatable:

Staying healthy is hard work at the moment! But no one can do it for you. Other people can help you and offer support (and that again is hard in the current times) but the main responsibility for your well-being remains with you.

Have you tried Fabulous app? It's really cute
