The pandemic and anxiety
Louise’s anxiety doesn’t just affect her at work, it also affects her personal life. She is apprehensive about having to spend four days with her family. The lack of social interaction during the pandemic has had a detrimental effect on her anxiety.
The pandemic disrupted our lives and we all lost our bearings. As a result of social distancing and repeated lockdowns, you may not have had the support of your loved ones or been able to engage in social activities. This leads to feelings of loneliness and affects your anxiety.
Regaining normalcy is not always an easy or obvious process. Like Louise, needing time to reclaim your social life is normal. Don’t rush it and adapt to your old and new habits at your own pace. If things get tough, don't hesitate to ask for help.
