Feeling better since the pandemic

Siena

I know this is a weird thing to say but i have felt better since this pandemic..  dunno if anyone else has?  i knew something bad was going to happen. I mean I always think that but yeah.  Its like im not missing out on things anymore because everyone else is stuck at home too. And for once i feel less alone. It does sound really selfish but i don’t know what it is. I dont mean i want others to suffer just feel less alone.
I feel bit guilty

It's understandable. Two things can be at the same time. It's great that you feel less alone, it is not selfish at all.

I kinda have a double feeling about this too. Everything is more relaxed now, people not rushing in daily life. But also feel guilty because I wished for something like this to happen

Yeah its like im mot having the pressure to go out and do stuff all the time. I can plan things, relax and have time to exercise. And no long commutes.

On the other hand there are things like livestream events and group chats im not invited to and it was alright like the first week but gradually im like ehh when i can i get out and back to normal. 
Does make you think though and have time for creative activities and stuff.

I defo think its a matter of perspective and opinion, theres ways to look at things more positively.

My anxiety i feel is no different as the level of fear people are experiencing is my daily life.
i am however feeling the weight of the depression so its a weird double for me
