Context: At the moment I’m very worried about what will happen in the next few weeks, how this will affect my job and ultimately my family. I’m worried this will continue for several months and more jobs will be at risk and companies struggle to make money including the big corporations. I also feel a lot of boredom and depression at not being able to go out and doing anything. I’ve been isolated with my family now for 3 weeks and I’ve done everything around the house that needs doing and there is nothing to do. I’ve lost a lot of hope for the future and I’ve given up doing anything because what’s the point. I wake up and every day is the same - I’m losing track of the days.

Context: I feel anxious about the economic fall-out for the word and specifically how this might impact my personal situation.  I am not confident that the government are doing everything they can to prevent the situation worsening.  I do feel as if there are experts who are advising the that are knowledgable and making good decisions.  However, as the situation is unprecedented a lot of the planning being made is experimental in nature.  I have regret about decisions I have made that have put me in a precarious position to deal with this.  I am worried about the health of elderly relatives.

Context: worried about the future.  worried about family and jobs...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Context: Worried about my granny, she's got my mum living with her but she's very depressed and has lost interest in doing things (just had a text from my mum asking if I still had a rowing machine as she's trying to get her to do some exercise - I didn't, but she realised she wouldn't have been able to pick it up anyway. Also thinking of my grandad, he lives alone & was just recovering from pneumonia threat had lasted months when all this started so planning to ring him later. I was reading some articles about the situation not long ago so feeling a bit down at the moment.

Context:
I'm extremely worried about several things. Most immediately, I'm worried about contracting the virus and becoming ill, with all that entails or might entail.

I have equal concerns for those dear to me - my family and friends, as well as people I'm less close to. How will they come out of this? Most of all, I have children, and like any parent I'm always fearful for their safety and well-being.

I'm also extremely concerned about the longer term impact this is going to have on society, and distrustful of those in power to implement fair and just policies to recover from the inevitable economic recession.

Context: I feel anxious about how it will go, but overall fairly calm that we are safe as we haven’t left the house. I’m also anxious for my colleagues and former colleagues who are on the front line. As somebody with a health condition I am very aware that I might not fare as well if I catch it, so we are being extra careful. I’m also frustrated with the government for dragging their feet on antibody testing. I also have a small child, so I’m tired through constantly having to entertain her and not having any of my usual outlets. I usually leave the house at least once a day, so having been in for three weeks at this point is giving me cabin fever.

Context: I feel very anxious about the current Coronavirus situation. I feel worried that my family will become. I am worried that I won’t be able to get food for my family and provide for them. Homeschooling my children is very stressful while trying to work from home. I am worried about the affect schools being closed will have on my children’s education in the long term. I am worried about my mother who had a heart condition and lives in her own as I am her only family and if I became ill there would be no one to look after he.

Context:
I am very anxious about the pandemic and the effect of my industry. As a performer there is nearly no work for us at the moment. To make matters worse I am a performer on a cruise Ship, so both the travel and entertainment industries are two of the worst hit by the pandemic. With a lot of companies going into adminstration. I am very nervous I is a long time without work, and without any support from the government.
I am also very scared for some of the older people in my family and what would happen if they got it.

Context: The situation is causing me great stress as people aren't following the government's advice. If people stayed home, it would be much more contained and could reduce the spread. My whole family work for the NHS so we're a full key-worker household, which adds to the stress, since we are putting our lives at risk and others are just being plain ignorant to benefit themselves. Thus, I'm quite anxious that things may get worse; people need to follow the rules, and if that means a FULL lockdown, then so be it. We need to be safe.

Context: I worry about how the government are handling the current situation. I feel like they decided to tackle the situation too late. It concerns me that the UK economy will really struggle to survive, as a self employed person who makes cards and invitations as my primary job, I am worried that about a lack of financial help right now as I have no savings or money in the business to draw on. My mental health is also suffering because of all the worries bubbling under the surface in my mind and I’m not sleeping well.

Context:
I am feeling frustrated and disgusted at those who aren't still taking social distancing measures seriously. The Government is advising people stay at home for a reason. It makes me angry that those same selfish people will be the ones who unnecessarily exhaust NHS staff more because they didn't adhere to the rules.
I feel upset that NHS staff are working 13 hour shifts, it isn't right in such a demanding and dangerous situation.
I feel anxious about completing my own work as the adaptation to a lack of structure and purpose in what I do is disheartening.

Context:
Right at this moment Im trying not to get my hopes up too much
I notice in Spain and Italy they seem to be reaching the peak of people affected with the virus and as we are about a month behind them I can see things hopefully getting better by the end of June.
The panic nuying in the supermarkets seems to be calming down and people are taking the social distancing more seriously than they were beifore
I am still very my anxious and worried especially about my elderly parents who have not been outside for 3 weeks now Im lucky that they have very good neighbours who have been getting food and other suplies for them but it is still a concern as both are in the very vunleable groups.
Personally I am concerned I will catch it and I dont have a great history of physical and mental health so I would rather avoid the virus if I could
I just hope the virus peaks soon and we can all get back to work and our lives as normal

Context: I feel totally frustrated by the whole thing it has ruined pretty much many aspects of my life but I mostly feel frustrated with myself for not using this time to do more. It makes me very anxious and feel overwhelmed by the whole situation. It has made me appreciated more and I can’t wait to get back to some sort of normal life. I can’t wait to see people, go out and for my children to get some sort of education and socialisation back. My youngest doesn’t understand it all and finds it really hard that she isn’t able to go to school.

Context: I cannot sleep. I'm anxious, my depression worsened. I feel like I'm scared of anything. I'm scared to die. This feeling of uncertainty is eating me alive. I'm scared for my child and my husband who is a key worker. It's unbearable. I feel like I'm barely surviving. I try to stay focused but it's impossible. I feel like we will not have a normal life again. I easily cry after I read the news. I don't want to end up like Italy and I miss being outside. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Context: I feel extremely anxious at the moment about Coronavirus. My grandmother is mid 80s and although she hasn’t left the house in weeks I’m still concerned about her. My parents are in their 60s so are mid risk and my mum is still going to work. I don’t want them to get sick. I am missing seeing them and it’s making me sad. I’m anxious because I’ve lost a new job and so we have had to freeze our mortgage. This makes me nervous and I’m worried in a few months time there won’t be enough jobs for the unemployed like me.

Context: i am more worried as time goes on. I think it is wrecking the economy and I am worried about the future and how long we will be on lockdown and living this strange half life. I am not concerned about getting the virus as much as I think some people are. However, the fact that healthy people are catching it and dying does make me concerned about passing it on so I am following the social distancing guidelines. I am only walking once a day and trying to limit social interaction. I think the virus has killed more people in China than the official figures state and it is going to kill a lot more people.

Context: I am feeling very anxious at the moment about COVID-19 I am worried about my family and friends. I am also struggling with not being able to see my family and friends at the moment. I am also feeling anger for people that are continuing to ignore the lock down rules and how important these are. I also work in a hospital as admin staff and I am experiencing anxiety the days that I have to go in in work as I wish I could stay in the house with my family and stay safe. I am looking forward to when this situation is over and we can see our loved ones.

Context: I am relatively calm compared to the general population, although I am a little saddened by the situation and deaths that are occurring. I feel that at a time like this, everyone needs to pull together and stop blaming the government for their failures. I am also very anxious as I do not know what to expect in the near future; for instance, will my father bring the virus back home after going shopping? What about my university situation? My university accomodation contract has now been cancelled with a refund for the final term, but my possessions are still there and I cannot collect them until the lockdown is over.

Context:
I currently feel anxious about how much longer I will be able to stay in my job. I am sad for those who have lost theirs lives or their loved ones. I feel sad that I can't see my family. I am angry that people refuse to stay in and are prolonging this and not caring about the consequences of their actions on others. I'm sad that my daughter will only have me to spend her birthday with her and won't see family or her friends. I'm also sad that a much longed for special holiday probably won;t go ahead, and anxious about getting my money back. I feel frustrated about being stuck in my house all of the time.
However I am happy that I get to spend more time with my daughter. I also feel well rested as I get to work from home, so slightly later get ups.I am also grateful for my health and that none of my family have been affected yet. I also love how everyone has come together to support each other and to praise the key workers, as well as the sense of community this has brought about. There have definitely been some positives!

Context: Despise being compared to a ‘war-time’ situation, my fear is stemmed mostly by the fact it is an invisible enemy. I am scared that an action, or lack of, can risk hundreds of people’s lives. I am scared for my grandparents, and even more scared that if they become unwell I won’t be able to see them. I appreciate the uncertainty of the situation however the unknown is causing the most anxiety, not knowing how long these restrictions can continue. The memory of normality is the only thing striving me to keep going. I feel angry at those few who think they are above everyone else and are disobeying the rules. I’m am concerned that my future has been put on hold and I don’t know when it will continue

Context: I am anxious as I do not know what is going to happen. I am worried that my family members might get it and i'm sad that I haven't seen anyone for so long other than my kids and partner. it worries me that anyone could be carrying symptoms and not know it. too many people aren't taking this seriously enough and it worries me.i don't want anyone I know to die from coronavirus as you can't even give anyone a proper funeral just now. there is too much uncertainty but I'm trying to stay strong for my children.

Context: I am always scared that a vulnerable family member will catch Corona Virus as I have family and friends who have had it. I feel as though I have been less cautious than I was at the beginning of this as I have struggled not being able to see family or socialise with friends and it is only until recently that it has taken a toll on my mental health. Although it is a scary situation I am thankful that I have been able to spend more time with my daughter and partner as he normally works a lot. Corona Virus has also made me look at things so much differently and fully appreciate how much my family and friends mean to me.

Context: I am so very, very fed up with it all. I am so fed up with lockdown. I think they need the lockdowns for highly populated areas, but not for rural places like where I live. They are ridiculous here, pointless. I am So fed up with people we know not abiding by it. They post photos on Facebook and Instagram going for walks in beaches etc which are say 20 miles from where they live. Yet we are still in lockdown and supposed to be staying local ie the town where we live. We have abided by it even though we live in the middle of nowhere and there are hardly any cases. We have just stayed here for 3 months. We are SO bored. And they are doing the vaccinations so slowly. My daughter is a Vaccinator and there are no shifts for her to work. We know of others with shifts cancelled or sent honestly. I had my first vaccination last week at one of the huge hubs. There were 6 pods set up, but only 2 open. I just want life back to normal.

Context: I have mixed feelings right now. I feel positive that the end appears to be in sight but also anxious about returning to normality. I feel anxious about catching and spreading the disease but also anxious about socialising again. I’ve become comfortable in my little bubble and don’t really want things to change too much. I prefer working from home and I’m not looking forward to returning to a cramped open plan office. I’m looking forward to being able to get away on holiday with my family and friends but still keeping a social distance

Context:
Worried about my family and my own health from the virus and the effect lock down is having on us both physical but also mentally. Also worried about the long term effect of the virus will have on the country in years ahead. Both on health grounds but the wider economy and job market. The future my kids will have in this much hard job market that will be around for years ahead.
Also having to take yearly virus shots each year as new version come out and spread around the world. The fact many of the things i do to reduce stress are most likely to be either limited and not allowed at all for long periods.

Context:
i am feeling very unsure about covid at the moment. I would like the world to get back to normal, but think that the easing of restrictions is coming too soon, and people are going to end up getting us back into the same situation we were in last year by ignoring the advice given.
I would like to continue working from home, and to have lockdown restrictions eased, but believe we will be back in some state of lockdown by summer. This is why i am feeling anxious as schools have just gone back and this is when we saw infection rates increase last year, and nothing was done quickly enough, leading to lockdown 2

Context:
I feel very uncertain about the future and anxious, financially, for my family's and my own health and for the future of my career. My industry has been completely shut down indefinitely I have no idea when I will be able to go back to work.
I am used to travelling a lot so it is difficult being stuck at home. Both my partner and I are trying to work out of a two work apartment which is causing a lot of strain.
I am unable to go and visit my family and everyone is finding it very hard.
I am afraid to leave my house so I am not even taking exercise outside which is very difficult as I am not used to being sedentary and as I live in a first floor apartment, we have no outside space which is especially hard when the weather has been so beautiful. I worry that when lockdown measures are relaxed that i will still find it difficult to go outside because I will have become acclimatised. The whole situation feels bizarre and surreal to me.


Context:
Incredibly nervous about the future. Anxiety is very high. Trying to enjoy the small things, the time and turning negatives into positives. Also using my time to plan new ventures coming out the other side to focus and curb anxiety.

I feel like we are living in some sort of nightmare and it is terrifying. It is the unknown that is the scariest part, not knowing what the outcome will be, living in fear that we may get it and die but also worrying about how we are going to pay for food and bills due to current self employment.

Context: I am still very scared of Corona and what it means for our future. I have now had both my vaccines but I don't think this is a fast ticket out of this. I am less worried about the safety of my family and friends as we have had a lot of doses of vaccine, but have anxiety that Corona could mutate further and there will be a strain that comes along that knocks us all for six. I am happy it is Spring and the sun is out, that gives hope. The winter has been bleak and depressing under lockdown, now we have sunshine everything feels a bit better.

Context: Not very concerned about the situation. But still anxious about everything concerning it. Worried about catching it and nervous about how little was initially done about the virus to start with. Nervous about having to keep going out and getting shopping or go to get medication etc. And a little angry about how lackadaisical others have been about it.  The government was especially bad with the start of the outbreak, especially with it travelling across the world to get to the UK and having time to prepare and have prior knowledge of those already infected and still being slow to react to it is disappointing.

Context:
At this moment in time i am quite anxious about the Corona situation.  My job has been furloughed and as a result money will be more of a stretch than it currently was.  I will have to ask for a mortgage holiday to cover the shortfall.  My wife has a chronic condition and does not work or receive benefits and is anxious about us catching the illness and putting either ours and/or our daughters life in danger as a result.

The daily increase in cases both nationally and locally is concerning and as a result i am more anxious to go out and put either my own or my families health at risk.  It is a very uncertain time and whilst the daily briefings from the government are helpful and provide some information they do little to ease any concerns that my family and i have.

Context: Upset that world I know will change a lot. I am worried very much about work situation in my family, we hope that no one will lose jobs, otherwise financial burdens will press extremely. We are probably more worried about finances than health, although we know how dangerous virus can be. I am working fro home for last year, for the time being until danger of virus will fade my wife started working from home as well, therefore  social distancing it's not an issue for us. I see a lot of people finding an issue of coming back to normal life in the future. There will be new ""norm"", but world will never be the same

Context: This situation could of easily been prevented by a rapid response by governments and if people respected social distancing rules. Not only that but the response of the US is extremely bad and proves that their current healthcare system is bad, as people cannot afford to get tested or be in treatment. There could be a lot more victims in the US than we think there may be. I also feel that China is covering up the amount of victims which is troubling. If this continues to escalate I do not think that healthcare systems across the world will be able to cope.

Context:
I am stressed about a whole range of things, including my ageing parents health and my job prospects as I am being made redundant at the end of June. Additionally my part time evening job has ceased due to the Corona virus putting additional strain on my Finances.

I am also very worried about contracting the virus personally - but as I am a single person I am struggling with the isolation of working and living at home alone.

I have been suffering with depression and this has not come at a good time for me adding additional stresses and barriers to my life

Context:
I feel very sad and fear what will happen from day to day, I fear  I will lose my job, I am shaking inside and just want to cry all the time. I suffer from asthma so am worried about getting covid 19, also what will happen to the economy. I can't sleep and feel sick. I feel terribly sad that the nhs will have to decide who lives and who dies. I have considered asking my gp for some medication to calm me. I feel so tired it's like being trapped, with no way of getting out of the situation.
My colleagues are getting anxious and judging each other

Context: Frustrated with people who aren't complying with the lockdown. Sad that I am not getting to spend time with family and friends. Worried older family members might get ill. Worried that the NHS might get overwhelmed. Confused by the UK's current testing strategy. Bored of staying inside all day. Hopeful that a vaccine will be developed relatively soon. Overwhelmed by the news media on the subject - there must be other news which is getting forgotten e.g. Brexit

Context: I'm a lot less worried now we have a vaccine and what seems to be a clearer path to some sort of normality. I'm anxious about finding myself in more social situations and just generally how things will be different when we exit this bubble. And also mindful of how it will still be profoundly affecting a lot of the world. I feel grateful that whilst it has affected me and my family mentally and for a time financially,  with regards to the latter, we've ended up being lucky compared to others. I am slightly worried how it will affect us long term, especially my children bit hope they are young and resilient enough for any affect to be minimal.

Context: I feel worried about the uncertainty of it all, as this is a new situation for all of us. I have recently stopped looking at all news coverage of the situation because it was panicking me. But since I have cut this out, I feel much calmer. There are also parts of me that feel positive, and hopeful that this situation will change humanity for the better. For example, our approach to daily life, how we treat the environment and how we treat animals. If some good to come out if it, then it wouldn't have all been for nothing.

Context: I feel annoyed that so many people are out on the streets but other than that I'm fine. I am a key worker so I must still go to work and I am an introvert so I prefer staying in any way. Before lockdown was not dissimilar to the situation I am in now. I am anxious only because so many people are out all the time and not about getting the virus myself. That doesnt concern me only I worry somebody else would get it thats why I stay in. It also annoys me that the shops are low on stock because of some selfish people.

Context: I feel worn out by Coronavirus and the situation it has put us in generally. I'm patiently waiting for a call for me to book in for the vaccine and looking forward to being able to see my family as lockdown lifts over the next few months. I think life has changed a lot for many of us and this is the beginning of a new phase not just in my country but around the globe. I continue to think positively about this and hope that there will be many benefits to our changed ways of living that we haven't yet thought about. I have welcomed the slower pace of life from being at home much more and will continue to enjoy this as we move forward. My concerns remain that we have some way to go with the many variants emerging around the world but there does seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel now and I'm grateful for that.

Context:
I feel anxious about the changes that are taking place day by day, in the economy, in the political situation and how we all interact socially. I fear for the state of the world once the crisis is over and how life may be, I am concerned that life may be more challenging in a financial sense and that the progress of life, the world of education and work may be a lot more challenging than before.

I do however have hope that this situation will allow the governments of the world and all individuals to take stock of how they live their lives and conduct themselves and hopefully reflect and improve.

Context:
It is frustrating not knowing when it will end or when things will get back to normal, or even if they will get back to normal. It's hard to believe it won't change society in a fairly major way, although it's impossible to say how.

At the moment, it feels like everything and everyone is in a state of limbo and only experiencing a half-life.

I would say I currently have a permanent sense of low-level anxiety.

I am also angry that the government has clearly not taken this seriously and, even now, isn't doing the things it needs to, in terms of supplying PPE, testing and respirators in the necessary quantities.

Context: I feel very nervous and on edge at this current moment. I am unsure of the future and am not sure how much longer I can deal with being stuck indoors. I also feel very caged in and claustrophobic being stuck inside with my family. I'm irritable and need time on my own but asking for it offends my family members and creates tension between us. I'm tired as well and in need of the routine of my day to day working life. I miss my work friends a lot and I miss my independence and freedom. I just hope this situation doesn't last too much longer although I fear it will and that worries me immensely.

Context: I feel more positive now because, with the vaccine rollout, the vulnerable have more protection. I am still anxious about vulnerable family members catching it, but less than before because of the vaccine. However I will be much happier when they finally receive their second dose of the vaccine. I am hopeful about the positives as life slowly returns to normal in the coming months. I am anxious about returning to work though. I feel that this will again increase my chances of contracting the virus. I am also missing family members who I have been unable to see for a very long time.

Context: I feel worried about the current situation, for myself as I have an underlying health condition, and for my family. I feel sad for all the lives that have already been lost. I also feel stressed juggling working from home with having a small child, and am struggling to stay on top of everything. I am grateful that presently, myself and my family are in good health, and are able to stay at home together away from the risks that come with the virus. I hope that we can soon overcome this awful situation and that the world returns to normal.

Context: I am pleased with how the vaccine rollout is going. The conservatives have finally done something right. However, I feel the public are becoming lazy and complacent while we are still in danger and this is very worrying and concerning. The British public can’t be trusted to come together and this makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed to be British. I am also very worried about my family contracting the virus as vaccines are not 100% effective. My daughter is back at school next week and this fills me with anxiety.

Context: I am Still worried about family and friends catching it, but hopeful that with the vaccinations that we may see some normality soon and that if people catch it they only have mild symptoms.  I am Hoping that the figures come down and stay low. Worried about how the economy and businesses recover from all the lockdowns and that unemployment will decrease, lucky that I am still in employment. I still feel anxious and still fear that another lockdown will happen or that someone I love will catch it and be seriously ill.

Context: I’m really stressed and anxious because we don’t know when this will end. I also have important plans that are hanging in the balance. I don’t know if my plans are being cancelled so I’m just stuck. I have holidays booked and a new job that’s been cancelled. It’s just a bit of nightmare and friends that are ill and family we’re worried about. This is just a really hard time right now for my friends and family. It’s just unreal the amount of people this affecting. And jobs that are hanging in the balance. Not to mention the economy.

Context: I am very worried about my family (husband and children of 12 and 9) catching it along with my elderly parents aged 73 and 79.  They live 100 miles away so I can't see them to drop off food and they are not online so it's been hard arranging food drop offs for them.  I ring them each day; they are sounding quite depressed with all the restrictions and are worried too.  We are following all the government guidelines on staying home, I have only been out twice in two weeks to stock up on things I cannot get delivered like milk and bread (unable to get food delivered and milk man is not taking on new customers).  I'm also trying to keep up with the news but am trying to relax more as I've found all the news so worrying and it's affected my sleeping.  I have been waking up during the night and stressing.  I do not have any symptoms of Corona neither do my family but I have been monitoring all of us.

Context: Feeling a bit down thinking about all this isolation and feeling like a prisoner in your own house.  Never have we had to go through something like this and it is scary thinking about how this will end and when.  Feeling sad that I can't see my children and grandchildren and hope it won't be for long. Sometimes  I feel vulnerable especially when out in the street and people are about, makes you think how easy it would be to spread this disease. I also feel hope that life can be better when this is over and we can rejoice with our families.

Context: I'm hopeful with the news of 3 vaccines in the UK and how fast the government are distributing them. However, I'm worried lockdown restrictions are being lifted too soon and people will take that and the vaccine news to mean they can just go back to how things were before the pandemic and that if they do, we'll end up back where we were at the end of last year all over again. I'm also anxious to see my family again! It's been far too long since my children got to hug their grandparents and it's been far too long since we were last able to see friends.

Context: I am fed up. I am glad children are back to school for normality and we no longer have to homeschool but I am missing work (still on furlough), missing normal, everyday activities and days out with my family to places like the cinema, restaurants, arcades and ice hockey matches, I feel deflated. I feel angry at those who are clearly flouting the regulations and then brazenly posting about it on social media. I feel like we will keep taking steps backwards and I yearn for life to return to normal again.

Context: Currently I feel on edge as everything is very much unknown. I wish that there was a date where we know that this will all definitely be over by to give us something to hold on to, but I know that this is not possible. I fear for the children that I work with and I hope that both themselves and their families are safe. I am concerned of the impact on children's education where they are likely to be out of school for a prolonged period of time. I am worried that my father will catch the virus and as he has underlying health conditions, I pray that this would not be fatal. I am concerned for my own mental health as I am living on my own and am already finding this difficult - I wonder what my mental health will be like weeks down the line. I am thankful for everything that each and every key worker is doing and I am grateful that communities are pulling together to help one another in times of need.

Context:
I’m feeling optimistic because people are getting vaccinated and the number of cases is going down. We’re getting closer to the normal life we once had.

Also I’m more happy because it’s getting close to summer time, if restrictions are lifted then most of us can enjoy the weather without being scared.

I’m also feeling scared because when I finish school I’m uncertain about jobs since everything seems scarce right now and unemployment is very high. Also this pandemic may have had an impact on my learning abilities.

Context: When will this lockdown end so things can go back to normal. This makes me feel anxious. I would like to enjoy being being able to eat outside. I feel worried for the vunerable people. Especially for those who are weak and old. I worry about the third wave and I’m scared of news that the third wave could be the most deadliest. I look forward to things going back to normal. Times like this make me appreciate the things we take for granted. I look forward to this coming to an end. I look forward to meeting my family and being able to hug my loved ones.

Context:
I am very stressed and sad about it as I am a final year undergraduate student, so my final year project write up has been affected so much and I am struggling to focus. all of my exams are now going to be online which is going to be a very strange experience. and my graduation which I have worked so hard for has been postponed, maybe even cancelled.
to add to this I am at with with my family, and my dad is in the very high risk category which only adds to my stress and anxiety.
I am overall very stressed and going back to my old depressive ways and partaking in bad habits.


Context: I feel very anxious that myself or my family and friends will contract coronavirus. I feel especially anxious for my mother, as she is a key worker. I feel sad that I can't see people I care about and that I don't know when I will be able to again. I am finding the uncertainty surrounding the whole situation very hard to deal with and am feeling a lot of anxiety because of this. I also do feel some level anger/frustration toward the UK government for not putting stricter rules into place sooner.

Context: I am worried that i could gt it and annoyed at the people who are not caring and are still going out socialising. They do not seem to understand that they could be carriers of the virus and could kill someone else with their stupidity, I am having to stay at home due to an autoimmune illness so why can't they. I think this will go on for a longer than it needs to unless there is a lock down that stops people doing what they want to. I am worried and scared as I do not want to die because of someones else being careless.

Context: Feeling anxious and scared about the future. I'm scared of getting I'll or my family getting ill. I do think we all had it before it was announced. We were all so I'll in January, and my newborn was rushed to hospital on oxygen. They didn't know what was wrong. When will life get back to normal? Will it ever get back to normal. I have 3 year old and a 5 month old. Its the not knowing and nobody knowing about the future that is so scary. I feel like we are living in a film and one day I will wake up. I miss my family and friends. I miss sitting in a coffee shop.  Even though I am scared, I am hopeful things will turn out ok... At some point!

Context:
I feel extremely anxious that I and my immediate family will catch the virus. I am also very concerned for some of my friends who are on the frontline in the hospitals.
Also I am concerned for my financial future when we get through this as being self employed i have no current income , and dont know how this will affect my business going forward.
I feel very sad for families who are going through grief and bereavement now too , and for the people who are unable to visit loved ones , or to say final goodbyes for their family members who are dying alone in hospital.

Context: I am very anxious because I believe that I have had the virus, but cannot be sure until I get an antibody test - which is not likely to become available until the 'herd immunity' can be estimated. So the anxiety remains. I am cross that the situation has not been managed well, but realise that the correct methodology for handling it will only become evident in hindsight. That does not relieve my anxiety. I particularly feel empathy for those who are suffering worse than I did. Most of all, I am anxious for my family members - especially my children and their children.

Context: I feel on edge most of the time, picking up a feeling of collective anxiety and fear when leaving the house, especially when dealing with the uncertainty of coming into contact with others. I also feel hope when seeing others out and about being kind to eachother from a far. There is a feeling of perseverance amongst the anxiety. With that being said, I also have a feeling of interest and intrigue when keeping up with the news and current affairs, and a sort of excitement to learn about the virus, social and economic impacts and the ways in which people are overcoming adversity.  In general I have a mixed feeling of hope, anxiety and uncertainty

Context: I am very concerned about losing a loved one to Covid 19. My anxiety is lessening but I feel people aren’t taking social distancing seriously. If things don’t change then I see the lockdown lasting much much longer than is currently planned. It’s good to see that the death rate is progressing more slowly than what was initially predicted but it’s still worrying how many people are losing their lives, especially those working on the frontline in key services. I don’t really have much else to say on this subject and feel a minimum five hundred character limit on a response is somewhat excessive. If someone has an opinion, they can convey if concisely instead of waffling on unnecessarily just to meet a given number of characters.

Context:
I feel that despite keeping everything safe some people will mess up again and break the rules and we will get a third lockdown. I also hope my family who lives abroad may get illness and also I don't know how long to wait until to travel to my home land.

I hope my daughter don't have side effects of this pandemic as she said was fine but I wonder if she is telling the truth because she knows I worry.

I hope colleagues are nice when we are back to the office because now I feel they try to avoid me.

Context: I am a bit worried because the Government acted so late but also think it will be ok if everyone follows the new rules and stays inside. I am worried about my financial situation because all of the pubs/clubs are shut and I am a student and most of us work in those places. I hope it doesn't last too long and we lose all of the summer. It has meant my masters experiments have been cancelled so I may not graduate. That is annoying and I can't afford to extend my studies. Overall, I am feeling anxious about the situation.

Context: I feel anxious about when the coronavirus will end as I’m due to give birth in 11 weeks so want things to be better by then so my newborn baby can be introduced to friends and family and I’m nervous about giving birth alone. I live by myself so I want to see friends and family as I feel lonely but my dog keeps me company. I’m also worried about money as I’m self employed and rent a flat so don’t know how I will pay my bills especially as I have a baby coming along. It annoys me when people are still out seeing friends and family and not sticking to the social distancing rules

Context: To be honest, I'm completely fed up with it now, I just want to be able to travel and see my friends and family.  I'm feeling a little less anxious now that my mum (who is high risk) has had her first vaccine but I'll be happier still once she's had her second.  I have enjoyed getting to know my local area better, discovering new running routes and doing some work on my house, but I'm more than ready to get back to normal again now.  Apart from the work aspect.  I'd be quite happy to work half my week from home on a permanent basis.

Context:
my feelings have changed slightly towards the corona virus.
I still feel it's out there but things have changed for the better, I'm still awaiting my vaccine, but the rest of the family have had theirs.
It takes the worry away slightly.
I think people have become more relaxed this lockdown, and it doesnt even feel like a lockdown. Everyone who I know just goes about there business like nothings changed.
I wish everyone would stick to the rules and we could be out of this quicker.
My fear in the future is if a new pandemic appears people wont take it seriously.

Context:
I feel anxious and sad for the loss people are suffering and the greater impact the virus will have once the curve is flattened; loss of human life, financial, mental effects etc.
I feel that the government should have offered clearer restrictions earlier and that the information being given should be backed by scientific resources. More effort should be made by social media websites to reduce the false news stories and reduce people's anxiety.
I feel annoyed that in my industry (academia) there have been a lot of short-sighted decisions being made that have affected people's livelihoods.

Context:
Regarding the Coronavirus situation, I am feeling moderately anxious which seems to increase with the continued lockdown in the United Kingdom.

I feel that my anxiety is related to the impact the virus will have on society in general, the economy, my income and the health and livelihood of people around me, and in particular people who are more vulnerable.

I think that governments are starting to act more tactfully in combatting the virus and its wider effect on society and to communicate clearer messages and information to the public. However I strongly believe that the UK government did not respond efficiently to the virus' initial breakout.

At the same time I am feeling optimistic that the situation will improve relatively soon and that life should start to return to normal quicker than expected.

Context: Most frequently I feel anxious regarding the possibility of catching the virus and the financial implications of lockdown. However, I recently got married so I am trying to remain positive and enjoy being able to spend time with my wife. I feel like if we hadn’t had our wedding or been able to spend time with all of our relatives before we were locked in then I would feel far more upset about it. We got an opportunity that others who had weddings booked not long after ours didn’t and we are grateful for that. Our honeymoon was cancelled however as my parents were asked to self quarantine after displaying symptoms and therefore unable to care for my elderly grandpa and younger sister in university, I was glad we were here and able to help our family. Our situation isn’t ideal but we appreciate that we have a lot to be thankful for in spite of this.

Context:
I feel out of control and worried about the future. I don’t know when it will stop and what my situation will be after it all calms down.

I’m trying to keep my mental health steady but it’s difficult, being isolated and not a lot to focus on.

I can’t wait to see my family again, I miss my niece loads and I’m tired of feeling scared and being looked at with disgust from old people when I’m on a walk.

It has made me appreciate the important things in life, like my family and my health. I’ve had time to think about my life aspirations and I’ve allowed my mind to calm down.

Context:
I feel waves of anxiety throughout the day. I am very scared of the virus and of contracting it myself. I have a phobia of hospitals and so the idea of needing to be hospitalised is very scary for me. I am also concerned for the wellbeing and health of my family, friends and co-workers. As a teacher, it is likely that I will be needed in school again soon and that makes me feel very anxious.
If I can just stay home I feel safer, but leaving the house to buy food or to go into work makes me panic. I just want this to all be over.

Context: when covid first started appearing in early 2020 i really thought as supposdley clever and evolved humans, we would have got on top of it quickly. but we didnt. we were unprepared. Countries were reactive instead of proactive. people were selifsh. i feel like the entire last year has been a waste of time. people have died for nothing. But politicions and scientists still have their jobs, and money, and contracts. Numbers across the world were low in the summer but then it went up and we did nothing. then schools in uk opened and numbers went up, deaths went up, but nothing.

Context:
I'm not too concerned about catching corona (I'm pretty sure I have already had it). I'm more concerned about how the lock downs that several countries have imposed will affect the economy in the upcoming months.

However I do also believe that the country and world economy will eventually bounce back from this, but I do think that it will be a while until we see a full recovery.

The human race is great adapting to surviving against the odds and this is another factor that we will adapt to.

Context: I'm much less worried about the actual virus compared to the start of the pandemic but I'm very worried about what the economy and the current gigantic debt will mean for my generation. I feel a bit frustrated how it will probably be us who has to clean up all the mess now even though statistically we should be the least at risk group. My partner is on furlough at the moment and has been forced to seek new employment and I'm just worried about the uncertainty of the future. I guess I'm a bit angry as well at the absolute lack of leadership that the government has demonstrated throughout. I find it disgusting how some people would take this opportunity to further their own political agendas without real or apparent regard for what's right for the general public. Particularly the PM's conduct and attitude towards the entire thing has just been plain embarrassing. I guess I'm a bit sad as well because I'm pessimistic about the future of UK, with Brexit going on as well and whatnot.

Context: I feel slight anxiety about children going back to school on Monday. Even though I know they need to I'm worried that this will cause another surge in cases. People seem to break the rules now and are becoming more complacent now there are vaccines available and the end is supposedly in sight. People are desperate to get out of their houses and back to normal life but they need to pay attention to social distancing and mask wearing for as long as there are still cases.I am both looking forward to travelling again and working at work, but also worried about it!

Context:
I feel sad and disappointed that the people not sticking to the rules spoil things for the rest of us.
I also feel angry that people are spreading the virus and don't care.
If people would just do what was asked lockdown wouldn't have been so long, This applies to all people whether they are rich, poor, famous or just a member of the public.
I am very worried about catching it and also concerned that a lot of people seem to think that once they have had one shot of the vaccine they can carry on as normal and meet family or friends.
This can only lead to cases rising again.

Context:
i am very scared and just want life to be back to normal. i do not like staying at home i just want some fresh air the wheather has gotten so much better and i am stuck indoors everything is finished at the supermarkets so what can we do? i do not know what else to say just this needs t end as soon as possible please. sorry i cant write anymore i am just out of words

i am very scared and just want life to be back to normal. i do not like staying at home i just want some fresh air the wheather has gotten so much better and i am stuck indoors everything is finished at the supermarkets so what can we do? i do not know what else to say just this needs t end as soon as possible please. sorry i cant write anymore i am just out of words

Context: Its a scary time that i thought that is ould never face. I thought maybe if things get really bad we may see something like a war and that worry had always had me on edge but I never thought that a virus would put the whole world on lockdown. I'm missing my friends and extended family lots and I feel completely disconnected with the world. it makes me really unhappy but I also know that we in the UK are on lockdown for our own benefit. i just wish it wasn't so contagious and I wish it hadn't already killed so many people including people so young in age

Context: I feel anxious based largely on the fact that I am powerless to control the situation at hand. Short of making sure I don't get sick I can't do anything to secure myself. I have no control over market forces or actions by the government. Sometimes I awake in the middle of the night s a result of bad dreams relating to the current crisis. I am nervous about job security also as I have a mortgage and myself and my partner are in the same field. I also feel unenthusiastic about hobbies I used to do to keep occupied which is frustrating as now should be an opportunity to do them but find less enjoyment in them than before.

Context: I am anxious and worried about the future and how drastically life has changed. I am worried about not be able to make plans or enjoy events such as family birthdays. I miss not being able to visit family that upsets me and makes me sad. It is scary hearing and watching the news about how many people have died with the coronavirus. I miss the normal day to day tasks such as going shopping for clothes or meeting my friends or going on family day outs. Also I do not know if I am doing enough to protect myself and my family from the virus such as handwashing or wearing protective equipment.

Context: Still quite anxious about it. Happy that lots of people are getting vaccines and that it seems to be having an effect. But worried about what the last 12 months has left behind in relation to state of the economy, folk holding off seeing their doctor and therefore more terminal illness diagnoses, fear of going back to some sort of normality and not wanting everything back as it was. Looking forward to spending time with family and friends again. Have got used to working from home and hope this continues.

Context: I don't feel about it anymore, if that makes sense. I think I am used to things the way they are. The only sad part is that I was not able to go see my family for over a year now, so I wish the travel could resume. The rest, I am not bothered anymore. Well, one more thing maybe - I am tired of online shopping. I wish we could go inside the store and try things as normal. I have lost weight so have no clue what my size is anymore. I want to be able to try things on as before. I got used to not seeing friends as often, and not being able to go out saves a crazy amount of money too.

Context: I feel stressed that I would catch the virus as I would be affected quite heavily due to my health. I worry about the elderly people around that are more prone to death and heavy illness from it. The strain of virus doesn't have a cure at the moment and it is very scary and stressful for care workers like myself as there are many older people in my organisation that would get very ill from the corona virus. I wish that more could be done about it and more people took notice of the quarantine as it will just cause a longer lockdown.

Context: I feel grateful that I am not suffering and thankful to all the people who are helping out. But it’s frustrating seeing people deliberately assume the rules do not apply to them and continue to wander out and about, too close to people and more than once a day. It feels like we are not yet in the worst of it, and the actions of people feel like the government will have to take more severe actions soon. I am not looking forward to it but also limiting the amount I think about it as it is all so stressful.

Context: i am feeling very anxious about other people but relaxed about myself. this bout of corona i've had it twice in 4 weeks and i've been taken out hard the second time very hard. as a young person i feel for the vulnerable people. I am really dissatisfied at the game being played by crooked politicians as Mr Trump refers to them - here in the uk with snail pace response. I was alot more cavalier to start with but got apprehensive as i experienced it myself . i am relaxed and axious for others. I am really agry at the rip off price gouging merchants - i am in business this is a time to support the people not rip them off.

Context: I am still as worried about the situation as I was a year ago. Now the added thing is the Covid vaccine and people having that. I'm not going to get mine until June time probably but even with this I'm not letting my guard down. I'm still missing family that I haven't seen since last year. And I'm still worried about me or my partner getting ill, but hopefully, it will all be fine. The anxiety over it and being around people though is still high and I think will be for some time to come. I will still continue to wear my mask and I don't like being around people not wearing one, if I could avoid people altogether then I really would.

Context:
The situation is very scary for everyone in this world what it means for us today, tomorrow and in years to come. Our futures and that of our children. I worry for my daughter more than I do for myself.

Lives are being lost, jobs are diminishing and businesses are closing. Recessions will be the next steps and a further reason to worry will be evident.

We will loose many people and our materialistic lives will change but only temporarily.

I fear for what will come before it gets better and when I will see my family again and of it will be in good health or not.

I will not take things for granted is a common thought which will be short lived by many but not all. Not me.


Context: Very anxious about having to send my children back to schools where barely any safety measures have been put into place and no measures in primary schools so the transmission rates will increase and chance are lots more people will get seriously ill and/or die, and what makes me most mad is that the government are wilfully allowing this to happen.  Not willing to spend any money on air filters for classrooms, saying secondaries are to use lateral flow tests which are only about 50% accurate if done properly to try and make parents feel schools are safe.  There are no extra measures put in place in primaries and I am just supposed to send my kids into these unsafe schools.

Context: I feel scared that I may get it due to being immune-compromised and that scares me. I am also worried about my family's health too. I miss seeing my friends and work colleagues but I also understand this is for the better as I could give or get coronavirus. I am going a bit crazy being stuck in the house and I never thought I would look forward to going food shopping each week! Although I am scared I am also proud of our NHS and how big companies like Dyson are working hard to combat this and make products to help. I am dissapointed in how some people aren't taking the lockdown seriously and are going out or meeting.

Context: Anxious because I havn't had any work or income coming in apart from my pension. all our savings have been used up and I worry about how much longer it will be until I can get some work,Life is on hold at the moment. I'm waiting for my vaccine . I have had a letter telling me I could get an appointment online but each time I have tried the closest by miles to my home is also difficult to get to. I think that a few sunny days will help, I can escape out into the garden at least. A slower pace of life has been fine but being on a very tight budget when we had just started to be able to worry less about money is frustrating.

Context:
Feeling anxious and vulnerable due to my financial situation and lack of economic prospects. There is high uncertainty of when things will return to normalcy and whether my personal situation will deteriorate. This is affecting my mental well-being and is the main factor in becoming more anxious and stressed regarding the future.

Somewhat concerned about the health impacts of the coronavirus. Not personally too afraid, but more so how the at-risk population will cope and whether this can have long-term effects on health.

Context: Feeling very anxious for when shops and pubs open. Worried about my financial state as I lost my job because of corona. Worried with how my online exams are going to take place and how I will afford rent. Bored with walking and online workouts and want to get back to the gym. Sad that I cant see family and friends and am wasting time at home when I could be travelling the world. Can't wait to get back to face to face teaching rather than online lectures and workshops. Still looking for jobs to help pay rent but struggling as nothing is open and so there are no jobs avaliable.

Context:
I feel very anxious all the time. About everyday tasks, about people’s behaviour, abou the future. I feel worried about my family, my self and friends because of the uncertainty that awaits us all if we catch this virus.
I miss visiting and being with friends and family not worried about what I’ve touched, about what they touched, about how many people touched my parcels when they arrive and having to tell my child to wait a couple of days before open it even though I have cleaned it with alcohol gel. I miss not to feel paranoid all the time. I miss  not to worry about laughing and hugging who I love to be with. I Miss relaxing moments, enjoying outdoor life, eating out or having a coffee somewhere with family or friends.

Context: I am furious with how our government has handled the situation, prioritising giving business to their friend over saving people's lives. I feel betrayed and angry. But most of all I feel completely hopeless, every time they say the end is in sight people get their hopes up only to be screwed over by yet another foolish decision from the government. I am bitter and drained and so angry I could scream, the government have betrayed us at every step and praise themselves while ignoring the rules and profiting. They have sacrificed teachers, NHS and all essential workers and preached their bravery while giving them no choice, no support and no reward.

Context: I go back and forth with my emotions. Sometimes I feel frustrated, upset, bored and gutted about people getting ill and dying, all big events cancelled, pressures that come with homeschooling. I feel upset I can't see family and friends and then I feel ok and think this is a good time to relax, be with the children, also get the house sorted as well as sorting out other bits,working from home and sorting bits out that have been left for a while and also most importantly keep safe and save our NHS.

Context: I'm feeling slightly more relaxed as me and my family have come this far without any of us knowingly contracting Covid, even though my mum is a front-line worker. It is obviously reassuring that vaccines are being implemented, however I'm still anxious about what might happen with children going back to school and people advocating for them to not have to wear masks in school...also concerned about how many people will not get vaccinated for one reason or another. I'm worried that in the meantime between a significant amount of people being vaccinated, we will see people become overly lax and allow for another resurgence.

Context: I feel very anxious about the current situation. I feel it's like a 'waiting game' and the uncertainty makes things very difficult to face. The fact we don't know what the outcome is is very unsettling. No one is sure when this will be over and life will return to normal. I feel scared, worried, anxious and frightened but at the same time life has slowed down and I'm becoming adjusted to the 'new normal' and my wellbeing has most certainly improved what with getting more sleep and not having to commute for 3 hours a day I am seeing at least one benefit from this awful situation.

Context: I am a bit worried as part of my family resides in one of the countries most affected by the virus, so the constant depressing news you hear on the TV, radio or internet are no help in improving my mood. As for myself, I try to stay positive as much as I can and I try to enjoy this moment as a way to slow down, focus on my wellbeing and especially take care of my health. I am lucky enough to have a garden, so I've tried to spend time gardening or just sitting in the sun  since the weather has been great lately. I keep in touch with relatives and friends through texts, calls and video calls.

Context: I feel the situation is getting better at the moment because of the vaccine, but feel it could change very quickly if everything goes back to normal to quick. I feel the government made a lot of mistakes after the first wave like the buy one get one free meals, as it caused everyone to gather in public places and most people ignored the rules. and I feel they are going to make the same mistakes again. I feel there is still a lot of unknown things about coronavirus but we are learning more all the time.

Context: I am very worried as it has affected many things; not only has it caused death and pain to other families but I fear what could happen to my family. It is also not a time where I can relax unlike other people because I have studies which have actually increased because my college thinks because you're home, you should do even more work as you have even more free time. But that is not the case as I have difficulty studying at home as I get easily distracted, that is why I used to work in the library instead as I can be more productive in that environment. I have been lacking a lot in the studies and I am very worried, unlike GCSES and A levels which have been post-poned, college course work is still here to complete.

Context:
Whilst i feel not particularly worried about catching virus as both me and dad who live with abide by rules.
I am annoyed with people not taking the virus seriousm or the social distancing that has been put in place. I feel tired and drained with it all going on though as always wondering what the next problem will be or where to get food from. I worry that having to travel to many shops to get basics or wait in long queues increases my risk of catching or passing to my dad.
I suffer anxiety and depression and do not like not been able to go out but know is for best and will be happy the sooner it is under control.

Context: I feel slightly hopeful that things may change and get back to ""normal"" by the end of the year - however the behaviour of some people has jeopardised the trajectory in previous liftings of restrictions.  I'm frustrated by those who can't seem to obey the rules, forgetting that by not following them, they're delaying the lifting of restrictions and getting us caught in a vicious cycle.  Therefore I'm pessimistic that we'll be still be in the same situation at the end of the year even with the vaccination program.  I'm also hopeful that the mismanagement of the entire situation will show people how awful this government is - not that I'm saying anyone else in British politics would have handled it better!

Context:
At this very moment, my feelings are mainly of an anxious nature. Due to the unknown, what's going to happen to any of us. This may be due to the health of myself, my family, my friends etc. or it may be due to security (job, house etc.)

I am also feeling slightly angry with how certain people have reacted to this outbreak, whether it's their racist acts/comments towards others, or simply their lack of respect of everyone else, flaunting the rules without a care of anyone else.

I haven't once felt sad throughout the outbreak.

Context: I'm anxious as I have family members that would be affected greatly if they were to contract the virus. I'm also struggling to find the supplies for food and pet supplies in general, as deliveries are being delayed and I can't leave the house due to symptoms, and I am required to self-isolate for at least 14 days, but if my symptoms continue I will be stuck in the house for longer. I think the government should've acted sooner as a prevention method instead of reacting to the virus's spread, as preemptive measures would've been more effective.

Context: I am happy that the vaccine is being rolled out but sad at the lost opportunities of the past year and worried about the impact of Covid on my children and younger members of society.  I am also concerned about the economic fallout of Covid and how life will be different moving forward.  I don't think life will return to how it was pre Covid 19.  I am cautious about meeting up with friends again and doing things like going to the theatre or concerts or travelling outside of my local area.  I am hopeful that most adults will accept and have the vaccine in the next year and I feel that this will become an annual jab like the flu vaccine.

Context: Right now i feel anxious about COVID-19 as i don't want any of my family or friends to get the virus. I have a few family members in the vulnerable category so praying they don't get it. I am also concerned about my university degree which is up in the air at the moment as in am in final year and don't have much support from the university. We have exams and presentations coming up and have not been given any guidance on whether they will go ahead or be cancelled. I am also concerned about my future job prospects as graduates and placement jobs are unrealistic at this moment in time.

Context: I am worried and want life to go back to normal. I feel like I won't get really sick but know that there is a chance which is scary. I am more concerned about my children than anything else. I don't want them to get sick, I am worried what will happen if they do. I don't want them to be alone in hospital. I am happy for the lockdown to continue to get on top of the virus. I am angry at people who are ignorant of the guidelines and keep going out at the risk of others. I am tired of reading about all many people dying

Context: Annoyance at the way the government has handled everything, frustration at losing a whole year of my life to this, terrified about the future as a third year university student with no clue how to get a job considering everything. Sad I haven't seen a lot of my friends in months/a year at this point, nor my family in over a year and 2 months. Homesick as I am an immigrant and havent been able to go home since it all started. Angry my country is ""red listed"" for no reason. Angry at having to pay full tuition fees for lower quality education.

Context: It feels like their is a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t fully trust everything that’s reported so I’m still a little anxious how likely things are going to return to ‘normal’ before the summer but I feel a lot better knowing my loved ones are starting to get vaccinated. I’m still waiting for mine but it’s a small step in the right direction. I definitely feel upset and frustrated at how long it’s been/ still will be before I get to see my close family. I am a key worker and I occasionally get angry at people I know who are not following the rules even though I have no choice but to continue to come in close contact with other people.

Context: I'm worried about how long this situation will last, as well as its impact on economy. I'm also anxious with regard to whether my job hunting plan will be affected, whether I will be able to get an extension of working permit if the current situation will last for a long time. Apart from this, shopping has become less convenient under the current situation; I wonder when things will get back to normal. However, I do not think the risk of being infected by the virus is high, as long as people follow the guidelines from the government.

Context: I am pleased my son gets to return to school on Monday. But for my eldest who is at University, I worry for his future job prospects. I don't think all the uK govt decisions have been logical and I am DESPERATE to go and play tennis again. I feel more hopeful than I did a month ago though because of vaccinations. I feel like the end is in sight. But I worry about the economic impact of Covid - we will be paying for some of our government's mistakes for a long time and I think there has been misuse of public finances.

Context: I am very sad, worried, upset, frustrated and angry. We have had to move our wedding from May 2020 to May 2021 (and our honeymoon was also cancelled, along with our hen and stag dos) so it’s obviously been a very emotional time for us - particularly as we were going to start a family afterwards. I’ll be 37 by the time we’re married so this is a huge worry for me. I feel angry and sad that our plans are being put on hold for a year and it feels like this whole year is being wasted. My anxiety has been horrendous although it has improved a little since my fiancé’s workplace finally closed and he has been home, safe. I have a compromised immune system due to chronic illnesses and the whole situation terrifies me. Both our mums and other family members are at higher risk too and I’ve been so worried. None of us caused this situation, yet the whole world has been affected by it. It’s so surreal and unbelievable.

Context: The whole situation is in itself concerning. Having to stay inside for the possibility of months is quite depressing, but having said that, the whole of the UK uniting and staying inside with family and caring for each other is a beacon of hope. Messages from the Queen and the government have been inspiring, and i remain determine that we shall all beat this together. The death rate is the most concerning, and how seemingly healthy people can crash and become unwell overnight is concerning. But, remaining indoors and isolating has settled any nerves I have about contracting the virus, or any family contracting it.

Context:
I am very concerned that despite all the actions taken over the past year, mutations within the virus mean we are no better off. I worry about having to keep restrictions going indefinitely and the impact on the country economically and socially; but if we don't I worry about the effect on people's health, the NHS will be overwhelmed and a lot of people will die.
On a personal level, I miss family and friends,band I'm currently pregnant and very worried about what contracting Corona would mean for my baby.

Context: I feel anxious about the lasting economic effect it may have. I'm concerned as student about the difficulties I may face when searching for a job in the future. Other than that  I worry a bit about my relatives and their health, but not as much because I know they are keeping safe and making smart decisions in order to protect themselves.  I don't stress about my well-being as I'm young, healthy and very careful. I also only live with only one other person who isn't vulnerable and has moved out for the time being. I am happy about how empty roads are when I go out on my bike. That's one good side against all the bad.

Context: I feel unsure about the situation we are in but I'm sure we can win the battle. of this terrible desease if we follow government guidelines and stay at home like we have been asked. Otherwise this desease could end up being slot worse than what it should be. Just stay at home let's keep one another alive in this dark pandemic time. We can beat this we will beat it stay at home people you need to do this for the welfare of everyone. Do what we are being told I don't want to die as much as the next person. Don't be selfish thinking you are immune from this if it gets you you will know about itban it want be just you it's effecting your family will suffer this too

Context: I am feeling a bit unmotivated to carry on with normal life as I am unsure about this situation and how long it will last. I am worried that it could take a year or more for life to fully resume. I am annoyed that some people can't follow rules in place to try and help save lives. I am happy to have a home where I am safe and have my partner with me for companionship. I am feeling a bit trapped inside and I have not been doing as much exercise as usual so I think this will negatively affect my health. I am a bit worried when I leave the house that I could end up contracting the disease.

Context:
I am unsure of what future holds worried I won’t see family members again and do things I enjoyed doing prior to virus. It has made me think what have a take for granted prior to this and how much people and friends mean to me.
Also worries about future virus that may come as a result of this one this was not expected and in cure climber worries that once this one sorted out further virus could spork from this one.
Also one cleared and all restrictions lifted how I am going to be affected financially I need to work and can’t because of the curfew and the risk to pass the virus on.

Context:
Right now, having just read the evening news, I feel frustrated and anxious.  Frustrated because nobody seems to have a coherent, or consistent, plan to help the world get through this.   I feel that we are going to have to suffer after effects for a long time.   All of those oldies like me who are being very good and staying in are going to come out of hiding and the virus is going to say .. ""Hey, fresh meat!"" and we are going to be very vulnerable.   I find myself praying that all those people who, I know, are working frenetically to make a vaccine, or even medication, will come up with something very soon
I miss  hugging my family, I see my sons, who are doing my shopping for me.   My daughter and daughter in law are in the NHS and my granddaughter is a key worker, and my nieces are nurses.  I am terribly worried for them.  I pray for them.  They are mine     I lost my husband two years ago and I still hurt from that.  The world must be full of people all feeling something similar.  How vulnerable the human race is!   Reading about different countries approaches is a study in itself.   Some leaders inspire confidence and others, particularly one, inspire terror.
Today is my 24th day self isolating (by order of the family ..I'm 81) and the sun is out and I felt a lift of spirits but then the reality of the situation hits again and it feels surreal and I'm afraid again.

Context:
anxious about catching it am in self isolation being in an at risk group.  Son does not have a job having given it up to do A levels - now will not be graded (he is 24) and therefore will not get into university.  He is at home.
My husband is negotiating his pay cut with his employer - he is merchant navy and does not qualify for government help.  I cannot earn as i am isolating.
Hoping all is well for our 4 tenants, would want to help if trouble is ahead.
If I die insurances will cover a lot of our current borrowings.
My/our main concern is cash flow and the worst case scenario - how long?

Context:
Anxious at the current situation, growing numbers of infections and deaths.
Growing annoyance and anger with members of the public and government not following quarantine protocol.
Growing tension with housemates about the current situation leading to heightened feelings of sadness and anxiety.
Feelings of empathy and sadness when reviewing the situation both nationally and internationally as others struggle to cope with the virus.
Feeling grateful towards partner for helping to cope with the entire Covid-19 situation

Context: I feel very anxious about the financial impact of the lockdown on my job. I handed my notice in at work just before this happened and now it is extremely difficult to find a new role I'm left in 'limbo'. I miss my family very much but we keep in contact daily. Video calls have now become a big part of my life and a big part of the contact that I have with my family and my friends. I also feel very grateful that I and my loved ones are healthy. Generally this is a very anxiety-provoking time and I look forward to it being over.

Context:
I feel very anxious that life will never get back to normal. My partner has already had the virus and seems to be out the other end now so I am not worried about getting it, I am more concerned about the impact on the economy going forwards and how small businesses will cope.
I am worried about my parents as they are in their 70s and self isolating, I wish I was able to see them and it makes me sad that we are separated. I am also concerned about job security and that I may lose my job or have to take a pay cut,
