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
~Probably dead now

    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
