Social anxiety: why I no longer fear life

It’s Thursday 8th October 2020 and today is different. 

I’m unemployed and I think – although can’t be totally sure – it’s the 3rd lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For several days now, I’ve been in bed desperately wanting to avoid everyone I know. Every phone call is rejected, every message is left unread, and every attempt from my boyfriend to cheer me up just makes me irritable. 

I’m depressed and anxious.

How you know it’s time to leave your job, and not look back

Monday, ugh

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – even bigger ugh. 

You get to the office and it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. For a lot of you, many colleagues would’ve been wiped out by the many redundancy waves in 2020. 

Working from home set up, including plant and electronics.

Working from home: how to stay positive, confident & adapt to lockdown life

Working from home will either be a blessing or a curse for you. Thankfully, I’ve got no kids, an office with everything I need and a very supportive boyfriend. I’m one of the lucky ones. For a lot of people right now, juggling the life of parenting, working, caring for others, having a new baby, completing housework, maybe even trying to work two jobs is now the norm whilst the economy and the world’s health goes to shit.
