What's the point after lockdowns

[canyoukeepit]

The covid lockdowns really affected me. I had young dc at the time. I've been having counselling and continue to do so but since lockdown happened, whenever I think about something that used to be important to me, I just think, that's stupid or I really don't care. What's the point anyway.

I don't know if I'm traumatised.

But it's like I don't have to please anyone, impress anyone and I couldn't give two shits sometimes.

Anyone else?

I had young DC at the time too. You sound very depressed. Are you sure it’s related to lockdown?

I caught Covid 2 years ago, spent 10 days in an induced coma on a ventilator, during which time, I had a stroke. I couldn't speak, or move anything whatsoever, for about a fortnight (was fed via a tube into my stomach), and then had a slow recovery - in hospital for 6 weeks, 80 miles away from home. No visitors, so didn't see my husband or anyone at all for 6 weeks. I don't think you're traumatised, but you sound quite depressed.

I read that the pandemic met all of the criteria for an event that could traumatise someone - people's lives were turned upside down. So, you could be traumatised.

Do you think you might be depressed? Have you spoken to your GP about this?

@DontGiveMeThatOldCrap I'm sorry you went through that but are you trying to compare your experience to mine? Are you saying you are traumatised and I'm not because I didn't go through all that. With all due respect, how do you know what I went through?
