Question Has the Pandemic Affected Your Mental Health?

[Catsmother]

I have had my moments but I am used to staying at home now.

I know people who never had mental health problems and they do now.

What about you? how have you been coping through it all?

I have a lot more down times than I used to, a lot more anxiety about life, the future and those around me. The thing that keeps me "centered" and "in the moment" is having to look after my mother and knowing that she needs me to keep going so she can keep going.

No it hasn’t affected my mental health at all

 

[lavalamp]

Yes. I was going through a lot anyway. The pandemic has made things harder.

 

[Gibby]

yes its got worse , I can't wait until we can go out again to eat at restaurants etc this lockdown is really making me more irritable tbh

 

[LittleTooMuch]

made no difference

Not as much as some people.

I have been an introvert my whole life. In a way felt prepared for this moment.

I still do feel isolated, but that was even before the pandemic.

I am pretty much the same way.

Well it seems it has affected a lot of my friends and as a result they haven't been supporting me nearly as much which has affected me.

My friends have been struggling more than me it seems. I only have a couple of real life friends left and they have been complaining about being bored the entire time and not being able to cope with the house. I'm used to it with being the introverted one of the group!

Perhaps I could teach them some things for once.

 

[safeinsanity]

Absolutely! It's made me more anxious, depressed, and paranoid!

Pandemic affected my mental health. Who wouldn't be affected when you hear and see deaths around you.

The pandemic have really affected my schedule, and halted my offline business, it's simply a regretful time. Truly, it has affected my mental reasoning, but I am not suffering from mental disorder, because I managed my emotions well.
