day 2 of working from home and I've had a mental breakdown already.

I spent a good portion of last year working as a freelance artist, and the isolation took its toll on me. I really missed being around people, and wanted to make a change. Late last year, I started working in a studio, and felt such a great sense of community that reinvigorated my sense of purpose. We've been home since monday working remotely, and I have never been more concerned about my mental health. I'm worried about undoing every part of myself I built, and not coming out of this a better person. I know there is a lot more people worse off than me, and this is really nothing in the long run. So what am I even complaining about. It will be okay, but right now it really sucks.

Working from home has totally wrecked my progress in dealing with my depression. I'm back in my room, holed up away from everyone, and it's not having a positive affect. It's so much harder to not isolate or be trapped in your thoughts. I'm not entirely motivated to leave my house on a normal basis, but doing so often does make a difference, so this is not necessarily helping things. Give yourself the space and validation that it is hard and you don't have to compete for who has it worst. Everyone has their stuff, and for you this is a big deal. I cried in the middle of the workday the other day, so I feel you so hard. Writing on here has actually be a big outlet, surprisingly. Doing some phone calls and video calls with my boss and coworkers helped, maybe some of the people from the studio would be willing to do the same? It does suck, and I'm sorry that it's causing you distress and struggle. I'm glad you are voicing it and I hope that you know it's a much shared feeling. Hold on and stay strong, okay?
