Lol thought I’d use the new @Psychologists tag for this one!
So… it may be hormones or something but when we first went into quarantine is when I first started actually noticing my anxiety and that’s when it started getting worse. Then we went to in-person school for a few months when we got back but it’s the second week of online school for me now and I’m starting to notice my anxiety getting worse.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Have you noticed your own mental health decline with quarantine or online?
It may just be hormones or just me being all over the place because last year when we went online I was relatively fine… I guess I’ll just have to take note of how I’m feeling and stuff.
But it’s just interesting cuz I was getting to a place with my anxiety where I didn’t really get it that much. Like maybe once a week. And now I’ve gotten it like every day of this week… Which only happened in the summer…
Oh yeah. I haven’t been going out at all obviously. But before this week I went out occasionally for my birthday. And then this week I’ve only been with my family… but yeah idk.
The first months of quarantine when we were in red were the worst for me because it was a total and complete isolation. I was depressed, anxious, angry, and bitter.
In June, we started having online classes. I still wish we could go back to in-person classes, but it isn’t safe enough, so for me, it’s better than nothing. At least I get to see the kids on the screen.
And I get to see my co-workers because we go to work to use the screens and computers for our online classes.
Plus, I have individual in-person classes with my neighbors.
However, I was feeling very burned out and ‘blah’ these last two weeks. It’s probably because winter break is approaching, but also because of the certification class that I don’t enjoy giving. But that’s an optional class, so I don’t think I will give it anymore after Thursday.
