Covid. Lockdowns. Working from home struggles.

How are people dealing with lockdowns and working from home? I had a major migraine on my left temple today. I think it is from too much screen time. Zooming all day is actually draining. Once I reached the end, I had to go for a walk on my lawn and water my plants. It is on the things I look forward to every day.

its draining me.... I've now been working from home alone for more then a year, which means I literally met fewer people in that period then on an average single day in the office.

over the years I made a number of decisions that have devastating effects now: In hindsight I already was lonely, but now I'm more alone and lonelier then I ever was before... and I have no idea how I can ever recover.

@Tracos It must be very hard on you :( I can't imagine working from home for such a long time in front of the screen! It has only been just over a week for me! I am sorry to hear, I hope you can come out of it strong.
I find keeping myself fit and healthy through diet and exercising helps. It boosts my self-esteem and I feel good mentally, emotionally, and physically. I believe they are intertwined.
