Anyone else shielding last year and now pregnant? Struggling

Hi, I'm hoping to find others who might be having a similar experience to me. Last year I was mostly shielding due to a chronic health condition of my husband. I'm now 3.5 months pregnant which I'm over the moon about, but obviously need to be cautious in terms of interacting with others until next year.

I'm struggling. I'm begging to get really resentful of others, colleagues, friends, family who are off on holidays, working jobs that I've either been offered and had to turn down or have been passed over for. My work has significantly been impacted by it all and I'm turning into a grinch. I know I have a lot to be thankful for and want to just get my head down. But it feels never ending and I miss having a level of interaction socially and career wise that I'm craving.

Is anyone else in a similar situation? How are you coping? How much interaction are you having with others indoors at work/socially?
