Struggling with depression over covid

[chickentender]

The recent spike has my household isolating due to high risk family members. I'm feeling so depressed over this recent covid spike. It really distresses me to know of all the suffering that is happening due to covid around the world right now. I also feel like my life is passing me by as we isolate, but we have no choice. I'm just having such a hard time dealing with it emotionally. I also don't know what the deal is with my therapist. I'd been managing my anxiety well for over a year despite all of this, so I hadn't been in therapy for the first time in years and when I reached out last month to schedule a virtual visit, she never said anything back. I'm ok, but sometimes, I guess the reality of life right now just hits harder. Anyone in a similar boat?

Therapy is my saving grace right now. I am struggling immensely with working from home. I haven’t returned to the office and there is currently no plans or any sort of timetable of when we might return. My house/workspace…which is my bedroom is depressing. I don’t drive and am basically a shut in Monday- Friday and only leave the house on weekends for a short amount of time. It is also very possible my area will be locked down again at some point and will have strict mandates placed on it.

Hang in there. The isolation is so hard. <3 I also don't drive.
