Mental Health Blog - COVID-19/Corona

21st March 202 - First Check-In.

Where do I start! I haven't written a blog in a long while, was kinda in my own head before all of THIS started happening. So I thought would write about my personal journey, we/I am not alone in this! 

I've been self-isolating since last Saturday, last week when I got sent home from work. (Not required - also I live with vulnerable people) Since then I haven't left the house except to get shopping and that has been fucking terrifying tbh! Honestly, that was one of the first things to unnerve me a bit! Stupid panic buyers. Then the reports from Italy came in and watching the daily PM briefings. 

I was fine, got loads of outstanding jobs done, fantastic! Then my brain has started to think. Which woke the anxiety demon from his slumber and he has been giving me greed and today he nearly gave me a healthy panic attack. He didn't win… I think this might be a skirmish over the next few weeks. It's gonna be tough! I am/We are not alone. To beat this all we have to do is stay in #ivegotthis

Please take care of yourselves! Speak to friends on the phone, play games online, get those jobs you've been putting off.
