To struggle this much working from home

I hate it.
This past 18 months has been horrible. I get anxious, my boundaries slip, I lack self discipline and focus, I fall behind, I spiral down. Constantly feeling anxious, guilty and stressed. It’s awful.
Now I hear my office will not be reopening fully and the move to home working is permanent.

I don’t know what to do? I would give up my job except the issue isn’t the job, it’s working from my living room. I just can’t do it. I’m getting so low ☹️

Should I be talking to my boss? Should I be hiring out office space for myself? It’s so expensive!
How common even is it to struggle working from home so much? Most people where I work live it. It’s why they’ve closed the office. I just can’t do it though.

Can you use Teams to speak to and see your colleagues? I’d ask that occupational health come out to check your workstation and posture and perhaps get some suggestions from them around the fixtures which may help? Have you considered a SAD lamp, you don’t have to have a deficiency or condition to few the benefit during these dark months coming up?
