I’m sure it was a very difficult time for everyone, but having suffered with anxiety most of my life there were points when it really affected me so I did quite a bit of research online to help me get through.
Again my message would be to treat yourself with kindness, realise that this won’t be for ever and keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Take it day by day.
Of course the main thing was not being able to see family and friends during the early stages. Talking over Skype or Zoom with grainy images and intermittent wifi issues does not compensate for the comfort of a hug from a loved one. We are social beings and having that taken away was very tough.
