Context: I feel that there will be a big shift in how things are done on a global scale after this pandemic. Viral outbreaks occur occasionaly in some countries and are often ignored by western society. With this affecting the westernised world on a catastrophic scale, there is a lot of anxiety on how things will return to some form of normalcy, both socially and economic. I remain relatively calm and try not to stress on things that are out of my control. I feel this pandemic does highlight the flaws of a monetary system of society, governments are bidding against each other for supplies and countries are becoming more insular. I worry about the time ahead and I think this will impact the western world more as it was caught off guard and unprepared to take measures over profit in the early stages.

Context: I feel like it will continue and after life still won’t be the same. I feel even with the vaccine there needs to be changes. There also needs to be changes in giving false hope that everything will get back to normal soon. I have worry and fear for my elderly grandmother and others around me that they will get sick. I have become fed up with lockdown and news on different channels and it has been draining this second lockdown. I do not like people are deciding to break rules because they don’t care anymore and actually worry about some of my friends and family and helping there mental health

Context: I am scared for me and my family. I have 2 boys living with me who I am concerned about and I also have a disabled daughter who lives alone who I am very concerned about. I don’t want carers coming in but I can’t do it myself so I have no choice but to have carers into her. But it worries me that she may contract it through carers. I am feeling worried and anxious but can’t talk to my boys because I don’t want to worry them about my fears. It’s been a stressful time and homeschooling I am worried I can’t help my child with that and he will fall behind

Context: I find the corona virus very scary as I don’t believe the UK are very equipped. We seem very reactive to the situation. I am a key worker therefore that makes me more scared. With the recent news that the prime minister is in intensive care that scares me even more as that means his case must be bad, and he has been very active in trying to keep people calm and safe however he got it himself. I feel very anxious at not being able to go outside as I am stuck in the house which I believe worsens my mental health.

Context: I feel nervous about certain family members of mine getting the coronavirus and also about the dire economic situation the country is going to be left in after. It seems inevitable to me that the poorest in society are going to take the brunt of any financial cuts that are made by the government after this is over as per usual. Bored is also playing a part in my psyche as we are currently locked down. It's not the most extreme of emotions and it could be much worse but it is rather unpleasant at the moment.  The inconvenience when it comes to shopping for food and household iterms and having to plan ahead so much is also quite stressful

Context:
Very worried not so much for myself but family members. Grandparents which are elderly. A father who is a delivery driver and out and about in it. The rest of the family work in education.
Frustrated about the not known element of it - when will it end, how long will it go on for etc?
Finding isolating and staying at home hard
Struggling with lack of routine.
I am a key worker but days are sporadic so its hard to adjust to different circumstances etc. I am a teacher and am now working in a hub school.

Context: I feel so frustrsted, I want things to go back to normal. Majority of the population have now been vaccinated so I really do not understand why we are still living like this. I hate living in this way it makes me so sad. I think the government need to be honest as I feel we are all being strung along. I have noticed my own mental health has deteriorated during this pandemic. My work has also suffered. Everything has been hit hard. It is difficult at the moment to imagine that we will ever be normal. It really affects me with other people in terms of personal space.

Context: I am quite anxious about the Corona Virus. I have an elderly mother, she is 88 and has kidney disease. If she were to contract it I think it may kill her. Also I am 59 and have not written a will. If I die my personal estate would not pass to my partner. I intent to try and write a will using online services within the next few days. However my local community have been great at helping others. I  so happy to hear about all their selfless actions. We all need to help each other. Stay home, only go out for very essential things. Look after each other. And if you need cheering up then watch a film, read a book, listen to music, play with your pets and if you’re really desperate download tik tok!

Context: I feel very lonely and isolated. I'm not sure how I'll feel when everything starts to open again. I have anxiety of what the next few months bring. The situation is still very unknown and whether or not we are still in lockdown for longer. I have fear that maybe things we never go back to normal and everyone will have to continue living like this. I take each day as it comes and try to not think about the current situation too much. Although sometimes you can not help it as it is everywhere. My feeling at this very moment are very mixed, sometimes I'm happy that I'm working from home and I'm safe however at the same time, I'm very lonely.

Context: I feel like we’re going to have to learn to live with this virus and things are never going to be the same again. I’m actually nervous about coming out of lockdown and scared that if life went back to “normal” tomorrow, I’d find it incredibly overwhelming. I don’t like that I can’t socialise or go anywhere but at the same time, I feel like I’m never going to feel safe enough to do the things I did before. My anxiety is constant at the moment and I’m not sure what the future holds for any of us. The vaccine is a positive but the new strains may make it redundant so even that doesn’t feel so positive right now.

Context: Seeing how other countries with higher populations are coping better with the pandemic than the UK (through lower daily cases and deaths) makes me slightly annoyed at how complacent people are when they are asked to think of others and just stay at home. The government response, and that of the opposition has been shambolic, with the vaccine roll out vastly differing depending on where you live rather than your age / physical condition. This makes me anxious when people who are too selfish to follow sensible guidance could infect me or my family before I get a change for my vaccines.

Context: I have really bad anxiety about it all to the point where it is making me feel sick. The Prime Miniater currently has is and that kind of hammers home that anyone can get it (although we're not all shaking hands with covid+ patients so should be okish on that front). I'm worried about my family getting it as currently know someone who is in ICU suffering from the effects of it. I'm aware of how horrible the suffering is and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I'm also anxious regarding my job and how this will affect it going forward. Will I be furloughed or will I eventually lose my job all together. My two year old is also struggling with not seeing his grandparents and it's beginning to affect me seeing how much he is confused and upset by it all. Could do with it disappearing and things going back to normal as soon as possible.

Context: I feel fed up with waking up and doing the exact same thing everyday. I feel frustrated that there's nothing I can do about it. I feel anxious about what is going to happen over the coming weeks. I feel angry that some people seem to be ignoring the rules based on what I've seen on the news - if I am going to be spending my birthday on my own and not seeing half of my family or any of my friends, then what gives others the right to picnic in parks as if lives aren't ending every day? It is a really frustrating situation. However, I also feel excited when I think of the lockdown lifting and being able to see my boyfriend again.

Context:
I feel like a lot of people have lost their lives because of another countries actions. This is'nt new, buts its not due to a war, or a political fallout. I feel like alot of countries were too slow to act, mine included(uk)  I remember worrying news and videos in feb from china, but nothing was done in other countries then.
i wish we could learn from this, but i feel like history shows we wont learn. I feel like in a years time, if the virus has been contained, everything will go back to normal. rich vs poor, wars, political bulls**t.

Context: I am worried in particular about the long-term. I hope that normal life can resume quicker than I expect it too but only if it is safe for everyone. I wish that everyone would follow the rules, so that we can get through this quicker rather than cause more issues in the long-term. I hope that a vaccine will come sooner than the current projections. I am not currently struggling with the lockdown but moreso just missing being able to go anywhere I want at any time. I am having trouble trying to find some type of work I can do at home in order to earn extra money.

Context:
i feel worried about catching coronavirus before i get the vaccine. i worry about getting ill and not being able to look after the kids.
i am also worried about new strains and whether the vaccine will be effective against them.
i am looking forward to the schools going back though and things opening again in the next few months. i really hope there isnt another lockdown as this one has been so difficult. i am worried there might be another lockdown in winter as there migh be another strain or cases rise again. i am hoping things will be better in the summer.

Context:
It's changed how I've lived my life for the past year, but it's done so because I chose to willingly follow the guidance from scientist. It's important that I helped stop the spread, and protected my family and friends from contracting it.

Despite doing this because I believe it's the right thing to do, it has caused anxiety and I haven't been able to go out much and see my friends. Now that vaccinations are being issued I hope things will start returning to how it was before, but I know it's still a long road. I hope that the current government learns from this when the next pandemic inevitably happens, and puts measures in place so we're prepared as a country.

Context: Im feeling scared for mselfand children and extwnded family and friends. Im worried about my husbands job. Im worriedabout finances and how we will cope. Im worried about the childrens schooling as schools are closed. Im worried about food as certain items arent available. Im.worried about how this will affect everyones mental health. Im concerned about the impact this will have on the country and world as a whole. Im worrying about the day to day stagistics shown on the news. Im worryong about the stress on the doctors and nurses

Context:
I have a state of constant anxiety because of the epidemic.
I constantly worry about my parents.
I am afraid of losing my savings.
I very worry about my work. I may lose my job because of this epidemic.
I am afraid our medical system may not cope with many patients
This outbreak situation is of great concern to me. Many of my friends have lost their jobs. The government is not helping. The money is running out. In the shops queue. Food is running out.
But I hope the situation will change for the better soon. And we will return to our old life

Context: The current situation is very bad, the pandemic has taken over our lives and lockdown makes it much worse. life is not how it used to be and theres not as much to look forward to. there is more darkness and a lot of anxiety surrounding the vaccines. I dont know what else to say, its bad for all of us, or at least 90% of us. I won't bother planning the summer or any holidays because its not guaranteed that we won't be in lockdown during that time. its difficult to trust the government at this point. A lot of people have been affected by covid, one way or another.

Context: I still feel anxiety at the current time. I will be happier once I have had my second vaccine shot. My anxiety is lower than it was a few months back and I see light at the end of the tunnel now. I worry about my friends and family both in terms of their physical and mental health. I am looking forward to seeing my friends again in the not too distant future and being able to attend sporting events once again. I worry still when I have to take public transport or visit the supermarket but have been washing my hands in the correct manner and taking the appropriate precautions to try and reduce my chances of infection even further and will continue to do so until advised otherwise.

Context:
I feel fairly relaxed so far, although being locked for 3 weeks starts to take its toll and do miss social interactions. We do try and have some calls/videos with my friends as much as possible. Staying in touch with my family back in France is also important for me
I feel a bit worried for older people at risk and that the NHS is being overwhelmed.
I also hope things will get back to some sense of normality and not too many people will die as a result.
I personally feel lucky I have a job I can keep and be paid.

Context:
Very worried about how much the situation will worsen and how to keep my loved ones safe.

Angry about the number of people still failing to take it seriously and endangering others.

 Anxious about how to keep my little one safe and entertained whilst isolated.

 Anxious about my own job prospects and sad about not seeing the wider family regularly.

Sad for those in less fortunate positions who cannot stay safe, have no one and have lost their jobs.

Proud of the response of the government and nhs workers.

Context: Feeling concerned about contracting COVID-19 as i believe i would be one of the ones hardest hit as well as my finanical situation once this is over which will take a hit. Feeling anxious about others, friends and family and people in the world who are suffering. Feeling disgust at politicans who play politics and think more about the economy rather than people lives and who make excuses and blame others. Concerned for health workers the world over and the lack of PPE and tests which keep dragging on. Worried that politcans who blame others including other countries will spark long lasting hostility once the virus has gone.

Context:
anxious about people dying before we get everyone vaccinated and also the ones that will refuse to take it, they should be made to.  the government have also taken decisions that led to the death of thousands and yet still ride high in the polls, i am disgusted by this.  they should resign.  i am upset about the nurses being offered a one percent pay rise, all the empty thanks and clapping meant nothing to a corrupt, heartless money orientated government.
The vaccinations are going well but every action hasd been too little too late.

Context: I feel very anxious, worried about the situation for my immediate family and especially older members. I am very concerned as I haven’t yet had the vaccine but I am very close to getting it as it is currently being offered to over 60’s and I am 50. I teach adults and some don’t believe it exists and have said they won’t have the vaccine. I want to keep my distance from people until I have had the vaccine. I have two boys who will return to school next week after the 3rd lockdown as I will also return to the classroom and hence risks increase.

Context: I feel tired of the situation now I feel anxious about it ending and things returning to normal.I also feel hopeful that the time for things to get better is coming. I feel boredom at not being able to go anywhere. I feel resentment towards masks and I hate wearing them. I feel sad I cannot see my friends and do the things that we would normally do or go places we would normally go. I am tired of the situation and fed up of it all now and just want to return to some kind of normality and be able to go and do what I want and socialize

Context:
I'm very worried about the current coronavirus situation, particularly for my family and close friends. I'm also concerned that we may not be pursuing the correct government approach, which may lead to a longer lockdown or greater number of deaths. It's very hard to know what to believe in the media, and the conflicting reports are making my anxiety worse.

I'm also struggling with the lockdown, Although I am fortunate enough to not have to travel, the loss of freedom is affecting my mental health.

Context:
The most difficult thing is not knowing what's going to happen next. It makes the anxiety much worse. I'm also concerned about the government's response as it seems lackluster at best.
I'm also quite relaxed as most of the pressures/responsibilities in my life have disappeared. I'm really happy about how most people have acted as there is so much support and comiserating online and local practical support for vulnerable people.
I am, however, angry at people who don't follow the social distancing rules as not only are they putting lives at risk but are only going to make all of this last longer and I have things to do.

Context:
I am concerned to a certain degree, although I feel this has lessened since last week, and the week before, when I felt much more anxious. This anxiety and worry is generally about the unknown, i.e. how long this will last for and the effect it will have on my finances. I do also feel a little anxiety in catching the virus itself as the supermarkets are busy and its very difficult to keep socially distance.
I do feel this  anxiety has lessened in the recent days due to being proactive with finding alternative business ventures and looking at a more long term view instead of just the next month or so. This has made me feel more hopeful and excited about the future rather than fearful.

Context: I am very worried about this corona situation. I have only been to the shop twice and I was so anxiety’s and scared each time. I was scared about whether I would get it and also scared about what ppl would think about me being out and about. People who are not following guidelines are making me angry. They are the ones who are spreading these germs around and making this situation a lot worse. Lockdown is also going to be implementing more stricter guidelines. I am upset also that I have not been able to see my family. The are on isolation and I have had to drop them shopping off in the garden by doing this this made ya all very upset.  I just want this to be over now

Context: Um, well it's nearly at the end... right? I dunno. I'm saddened by the loss of life, and the loss of lived-life. By lived-life I mean, not being able to live life as we normally would for about a year. Relationships, friendships, any other -ships have fallen by the wayside. Some have strengthened--true. But, our Arts industries are almost dead. What's even the point of being alive and human without art? I have depression. Have done for years. I take medication. So I fight a daily battle to try and find happiness--hell, I'd take even contentment at this point--or any kind of hope in an increasingly hopeless world. What even is the world, though? What is the point of it? Life just spontaned on this rock? Give over. I miss the cinema. Going to the cinema was my chief coping mechanism. That has been taken away, and it's kind of a miracle I'm still alive. Or some of the people who live in the same house as me--ha. ""Yeah but you can watch movies at home""-- NO. I don't care how good your home set-up is, nothing compares to sitting in a dark room filled with strangers sharing the experience of viewing a new film for the first time. I have my covid vaccine tomorrow morning. Which, if they've gotten to me this quickly, and all I have is a measly, not life-threatening auto-immune disease, maybe there is hope for the rest, and it won't be too long before everyone has had at least the first dose.

Context: I have just had my first dose of the vaccine two weeks ago, and my outlook is more of hope now than it was a couple of weeks ago without the vaccine. I can see better days ahead, but I am also disgusted at the amount of people that have died when they didn't need to over how the uk dealt with the situation as a whole. I am anxious for my children and myself on how the world is going to be afterwards and if things will be able to be the same again. I feel that not everyone is going to take the vaccine which means that covid will still be able to spread around those people and mutate in the way we don't want it to, and the vaccine won't be enough it is a scary time still for everyone.

Context: Worried about how bad the death toll is going to be, how this will impact on vulnerable people in society. Worried about how we will pay for this later on as nothing the Tories ever do is for the good of the people and will be us normal people who repay. Sadness for everyone who has been impacted. Anger at those ignoring the social distancing rules. I am anxious and want to know when life will get back to normal. It is a very uncertain time and I am so grateful for all the key workers doing their daily work and putting themselves in the firing line.


Context: The situation makes me feel very anxious. Anxious for the world, how will it ever get back to normal after this? It makes me feel so sad that people can’t see their friends or family. We all miss each other so much. I know it is for the best and of course We will stay inside to try and help the NHS and to save lives. It just frightens me how bad it’s going to get. The numbers keep increasing, are we at the peak? Is it going to get worse? Are we anywhere near the end? We all miss our family, we all miss our friends. I actually miss going to work! It’s such a huge change for everyone, it’s a massive change

Context:
I feel stressed and my skin has taken the brunt of that.
I have no open and go no more as we're not allowed out and what makes it worse is the cold days.
My anixety when I do the weekly food shop is through the roof as most people ain't social distancing or wearing masks. Or if they do wear masks they have there nose hanging out. I hate going out and I've turned into a hermit when I was usually the girl who never stayed in.
I feel tired all the time and all I seem to be doing is being a coach potato.

Context: I am angry that the government has taken too long to act, and that nearly 5000 people are dead because of them. Too many people are struggling for money due to lack of work, and this is further proof that universal credit is a failed system, and does not work in the interests of the needy. I feel afraid to catch coronavirus because of my underlying health conditions, and I am also angry at the government for underfunding and gutting the NHS for over a decade. I am angry at the government at the best of times, but their handling of this situation has only furthered this.

Context: My feelings about corona is mixed. I feel anxious for my family and friends especially my parents who are at high risk. Also my work colleges who are looking after the children of keyworkers. I am angry when I watch the TV and see scenes of people gathering in groups as theses are the people who will cause this to never go away and we want life to get back to normal  the government is trying to do their best in a difficult situation and the minority of the public are not heeding the advice given. I have even seen in the supermarkets people not following the rules that they have in place to keep us safe,

Context: Feeling quite depressed and down. Too much time on my hand to think so thinking and worrying about the future in terms of financial stability...managing the family and being able to do the things which were planned for this year such as purchasing house...having another a baby. Also worrying about losing loved ones and not knowing how long this is going to go on for. Stressed with kids and husband at home...don’t know what to cook for meals...kids not sticking to routine and structure so the days are all over the place!

Context: The most impact on my situation is economy which is going down. I fear for the future when i have no work and i would't be able to find new one. Also i have anxiety because i don't know what's going to happen to my mother, she's in risk group. I can call her and ask about situation but in no way i can help her. I don't know if i had corona virus with no symptom or will i have one. Whole situation right now is making slowly my brain go nuts because of lock down. I understand reason but there is no sport, cinema, pubs. I feel boredom. And i'm gaining weight and i really have not enough exercises.

Context:
Unsure, stressed, anxious,
I love to surf (4 times a week) and live 2k from the beach, I can not walk to the beach as it is too hilly. We are told not to drive. I am unable to surf due to the driving and car park closures along with the stigma. It makes me feel incredibly sad, shaky and almost like an addict not going. I know I “could” go but my morals won’t let me as I an a key worker working with general public so I am more likely to have the virus and spread it to others.
I have a family and the thought that I may be bringing it home to them also is causing me night mares. I work for a bank and really feel we are not key workers and banks should be closed.

Context:
Worry is what I feel most.
I am no longer working so I worry about being paid, paying rent, feeding my family.
Knowing that there is no end date increases my anxiety.
My partner is a keyworker with no PPE being issued. I worry about him and him coming home to our children.
Although the children's teachers have been a great support and I am trying my hardest, I'm worried about them not being in a school setting in case I am not teaching them like they are used to.
We all miss our extended family and not seeing them is hard.

Context: Very worried for myself and my family, some of my family have health issue and i am concerned for them. Hopefully this will go soon.  i am also worried this may come back year after year. Also that it may effect the economy and my job. I think if we do get a vaccine it will put mine and a lot of other peoples minds at rest. I have tried to limit the amount of time i am researching and looking into the virus as doing so makes me worry more and more. I am off work at the moment which is making me more anxious about this and i am trying to keep as busy as possible so i can avoid thinking about this and causing myself more stress.

Context: The corona is going to greatly impact the economy of many countires, it saddens me that due to it, we have to practice social distancing and are unable to travel. It greatly affect the larger group of more outgoing people, or those in need of jobs that currently have to be let go from work or stay at home with a very low paid holiday wage,  Students of seconday schools and those who are due to do their test next month are also postponed with their exams which means most of their studies have gone to waste.

Context: I feel quite anxious and worried about the whole situation. I worry about the health of my family,  especially if they have to go to hospital and have to die on their own. I have a grand son who has special needs. He has been waiting for 2 years for help and now we have no idea when he will get the help he needs. I worry about my daughter on her own with a special needs child 24 hours a day , 7days a week, i worry this will break her. I worry about y sons job , he has a young family to support and a wedding to pay for next year. I also worry about the whole economy of the country, i think we will be paying for this for a very long time.

Context: I feel like it is still something to be worried about, however i think now that the majority of vulnerable people in this country have had their vaccines, we should start opening up the country again. I still get anxious when around other people, as even though the number of cases is quite low at the moment it is still a concern, I feel like outdoor activities should start to open up first, then move onto indoor, such as opening shops and cafes etc. I feel like this would be the best approach. Overall I am quite happy how the welsh government have handled it, however the uk government have handled it very poorly.

Context:
As a clinically extremely vulnerable person I have a lot of anxiety about the virus. However, I just received my 2nd vaccine today and hope that helps.

I would feel better if things were slowed down - I don't think we are ready to move forward yet.

I have nothing else to say. But I'm not hitting 500 characters so cannot proceed. Therefore there will not be any useful information below this. Not sure what else I can add.

I worry about my relatives too - my sister is reluctant to have the vaccine unless it can be completed in the initially recommended period of 3 weeks.

Context: I don't feel anything strong at this exact moment but I'm nervous about the death toll still rising and I'm worried about the quarantine lasting potentially until the end of May. I have exams to study for and I miss my friends a lot. I have had my therapy and piano sessions cancelled due to Covid-19 so I am finding it difficult to stay on track. I am worried about if we as a society will learn from this pandemic as well and how long it will be until the next pandemic. I am starting to get cabin fever from being at home too much.

Context:
I feel like the situation is all very uncertain, I’m really worried about my grandad who is staying at home for 12 weeks! I’m not sure how secure my job will be when this all goes back to normal, I am furloughed at the moment but there is no telling as to how long it will be until the shops reopen again.

I’m annoyed at people who aren’t taking this seriously and I’m concerned the government will loosen the lockdown too early. I’m not too bothered about my own general life being affected, I can cope without going out for food and to the pub, that can all wait!

Context: Right now, I am constantly thinking that I have this disease. Living with health anxiety makes things very raw and drives me up the wall. On the other end of the scale I am happy, and relaxed because I am doing things in the house, that I had been missing, or never had time to do. I have a lot of mental problems and also an eating disorder that I feel could be triggered off with all this. At this moment I am feeling optimistic and ready for the surge ahead, but I am very scared. I think the unknown is a really lonely and sad place and I think that everyone is in the same boat, which does fill me with a sense of power and that we are all going to beat this together. Community was gone and now it is coming back which was missing in our busy lives. A good thing to come from this is that the world can breathe for a moment while we are all stopped in time.

Context: I feel very anxious that my family will contract the virus as my mother works for the NHS, and my brother is still going to work every day. I am worried about contracting it because I develop chest infections once or twice a year. Nobody is taking it as seriously as I am. I feel like the government should enforce a tougher lockdown as people are doing whatever they feel like. I also feel the government is responsible for this as they led people to believe that only the elderly will die from it.

Context:
I feel that at the moment people are in a better situation now than we were a year ago now that a vaccine has been developed that works and that scientists and people of the medical world know more about it.  Although the long term effects of the vaccine are not 100% sure of, if it helps to get us out of this isolating period that would be a good thing.  I still think there is a lot to Learn about the virus as there appear to be so many new strains appearing that I do get anxious that any vaccine that has been developed will not help against the newer strains.
So many people have been affected in one way or another whether it be a death of a loved one or the loss of their job or business I do fear about if we will ever return to as normal as we can. I think things will change because of this and feel very apprehensive about what the future will unfold

Context: I feel a little bit imprisoned by the current restrictions. I am not fearful of the virus per se at this moment, although I do follow all measures strictly as I respect and acknowledge the seriousness of the current situation. I feel frustrated that it's been keeping me away from my loved ones as we do not live in the same country. I feel upset and a little bit hopeless about not being able to travel further than my own city, as well as the fact that the current restrictions really limit the number of things I get to look forward to to 'get away' from my work responsibilities.

Context: I feel so anxious, for my family, friends and my self. I feel sick to the stomach of what we could potentially go through. I feel sad that people are currently living through this. I can't believe that this is happening. Every time i think about it i feel like i am going to die. I am getting scared of going outside and i'm not sure how we're going to get through this and back to a world we knew before. Everytime i hear of somebody else dying i get petrified that someone i am close to will be next. At first i was dealing with it okay, however as time goes on i am truly struggling

Context: It's a very anxious time as the financial situation is incredibly hard at the moment, not knowing when you will next get paid and be able to pay your bills. Not knowing whether you are being furloughed or whether you are getting made redundant. Everything is up in the air at the moment. Apart from this it's the fact of not being able to see family and friends and going out to town to have a few drinks with friends. Can't wait for everything to be lifted including the restrictions however I think these will be ongoing for the next 3-6 months which will cause huge amounts of issues.

Context:
I feel optimistic that the end of the pandemic is near. Cases and death rates are falling daily and hospital admissions are reducing. The vaccination program is going very well. I’m hopeful the risk of covid is finally reducing abc becoming manageable. I expect annual vaccine boosters to control new variants of the virus.
Lockdown has been difficult and hard for everyone but the efforts and definitely paying off and I’m hopeful normality will return shortly.
The difficult part will be keeping to current restrictions and not becoming complacent and relaxing too soon.

Context:
Feelings about the situation have peaks and troughs. Sometimes I worry about leaving the house, sometimes I don't. Should we where masks? I own one but I have no idea if it is overkill.

I have no trust in the numbers told by every government, I believe it is much much more. I really do hope loads of testing happens very soon so the numbers can show that the mortality rate is lower

Family members with illnesses such as asthma worry me. Also knowing many people who work in care or in a hospital are struggling to get safety equipment and this makes me angry

Context:
This is a very scary time. The unknown and the virus scare me the same amount. I do feel like I am always anxious and my head spinning with multiple questions...
will I get it?
Will my family get it?
How long will it last?
Will my job be safe?
How will my mental health cope with very limited outside time?
How much Will the economy suffer?
Will there be a recession after?

I think the government are now doing a better job but they still have to test more and that would help my anxiety.

Context:
The government made an absolute mess. We had time to prepare and learn from other countries. instead they wasted time with the idea of herd immunity. Now we are royally screwed.
Mr Charles Windsor trip to Scotland is the umpteenth proof of the contempt we are hold, it is disgusting and he should pay for the care of the entire village he infected.
Scotland is trying to resolve this matter using devolved powers as much as possible but the Westminster government should do more, or nothing at all and leave devolved administration free rein and funding. Either they give the money or give instructions, can't do neither of them.
Mr Johnson illness, while we all wish him a speedy recovery, is just a proof that this virus is a serious matter.

Context: I feel sad about everything that happened up to date, from deniers to politicians who acted too late and the deaths that were the consequence. I feel hopeful about the vaccination. I feel anxious about the consequences of everything like the lockdown - the economy crashing, people not trusting each other, and entire generation not learning social skills for a year in school or with friends. I even feel anxious about ""going back to normal"" now. I feel like I am much more scared about germs in general too.

Context: I mostly feel frustrated, by the poor and underwhelming actions of the UK government. I feel they have done the bare minimum, responded far too late at every turn, and have been callous/unfeeling in their willingness to let people die. I also feel some anxiety for the wellbeing of myself and my family; that we will be financially secure during and after the crisis. I am worried thinking about my uncle, who has very serious MS and would be at huge risk of dying if he contracted the virus. However, I feel some hope/admiration at the way many people have responded, with expressions of solidarity and support for each other and for the key workers on the frontline, for example NHS workers. Then again, I feel frustrated that the NHS has been deliberately underfunded by various Tory governments for a decade, and now are being placated by 'thanks' and claps, when the most important thing the NHS needs is money.

Context: I am at my limits of lockdown - the winter months have taken their toll on my mental health and wellbeing - particularly as I live alone. I feel isolated, lonely and frustrated. I want to see people and resume normality. I really hope that with Spring approaching and the vaccination programme progressing at pace that we can see the end of being locked away from friends and family and we can enjoy better weather and freedom from this seemingly never ending nightmare. I hope that nothing gets in the way to put any blocks in the way

Context: I feel quite stressed about the uncertainty of this time and how it might affect my future. I also feel worried for the people I know who are more at risk than I am because I don't want them to get COVID-19 and end up in hospital or even die from it. I am also anxious that, being at university, I will be in a worse off situation for completing my degree as everything is so uncertain at the moment. Despite this, I am optimistic that we will get through this and that we will come out the other side with a new perspective and new values.


Context:
I feel there is starting to be more hope at the moment.
Vaccine rollout, schools returning and the dates for the relaxing of restrictions.
A part of me is nervous for things to return to normal after what happened at Christmas but I am hopeful that even if large events can't happen that we will be able to see family and friends soon. I have a 7 month old baby who has not met important people in her life but would be expected to start nursery soon, in a room full of strangers when she hasn't even been able to spend time with relatives.

Context:
I'm incredibly concerned for the health of my close family. My parents are both in the most vulnerable age range, and my father in particular has health concerns. My sister works in the NHS as a home carer, visiting people in their homes, which puts her at tremendous risk. Personally, my finances are in a bad state of affairs as I work in entertainments and have had no work at all for several weeks and no income. I'm struggling to pay for food.
The lockdown itself hasn't bothered me too much, I've been able to keep myself busy so far, but the general anxiety of the growing crisis edging ever closer to my life is causing me some distress.

Context: There is nothing I can do, it's out of my control so I'm just taking it day by day. As a recovered agoraphobic I worry about getting back out there in the future and hope my anxiety about going out isn't increased. I do get annoyed at people who do not adhere to the 2m rule and walk right by me on the street when I have no place to move. Its infuriating when people don't listen to the advice, today I saw people playing football in the park. Sometimes it's hard being stuck at home as you run out of things to do but I try to be productive, exercise and that's all we can do!

Context:
Feel worried for myself and family. When will this end seems like anyone who goes into hospital Doesn't seem to make it.
I feel a bit confused as to how long this will go on. I feel anxiety when I feel a bit unwell such as when i get a bit if tickle in my throat.  I have family who have underlying health conditions and i cant visit them. Seems a bit surreal within the lasst few week how the world has changed. I feel everything will not go back to normal as it was in January, people will be scared and traumatized.

Context: I feel happy and fortunate to be with a supportive family, and lucky to be at home, with a garden and fresh air. I feel sad not to be with my partner, and to be isolated from my friends and wider family, as I get a lot of joy and happiness from socialising with them. I feel anxious about going out and leaving the house to go grocery shopping, so usually let my parents do this. I feel anxious in general about the uncertain nature of how long lock down will be lasting, and how I will cope once this is over. I am also aware of how different the world will be following the end of the pandemic, and am anxious to have some sort of timescale announced as to when it will end.

Context: The weight of the anxiety I feel is so intense it makes me wonder if I'm symptomatic - the tightness of chest could be illness or simply suppressed fear. I worry in case I die and leave my daughter alone. I worry I won't keep my job. I worry this is the beginning of the end for us all as the climate changes. I wish I knew if I had it/had had it. And I also hope that this could be the last chance to turn things round for the planet, a chance I didn't think we'd get. I love to see the wildlife creeping back into the world. And I hope the government bail the right people out.

Context: Very terrified, not for myself, but all my older loved ones and relatives who currently work in the hospitals. Terrified for the economy, how long will this lock down go? How many businesses will fail because of this? The anxiety is very hard when trying to live everyday when everyday thousands of people are dying from a disease that we have no real defense against. I'm very nervous about being able to pay bills in the future because I'm not sure if one day in the following months my job might end. The uncertainty of the situation makes me feel very uncomfortable. The only relief I have from the stress is knowing that many other people are feeling the same thing and that we are all in this together.

Context:
I feel anxious about what might happen next. There is so much uncertainty. I am worried for friends and family. I wonder how long lockdown will last. I worry they will take away our ability to exercise once daily as it’s something that helps with my mental health. However I am fortunate to have a garden and understand that we need to protect vulnerable people and our NHS.
There is a lot of misinformation which is very frustrating. A lot of squabbling about hoarding and how long it is appropriate to exercise for. It’s difficult to tear myself away from social media and news - I know it’s not helpful for my mental health, it’s exhausting but it’s compulsive.

Context: I feel frustration at my current political system here in the UK of the handling of COVID, as I feel our numbers are way too high even now, and with the new variants seeming to come into the UK like it's nothing, I'm angered and anxious about the state of the UK and possible new waves. I don't really go out to try and protect myself as best I can, I feel isolated and longing to start my therapy again to get out and about and travel, but I can't do that with COVID in my area. I live in scotland, and I feel scotland handled COVID better than england, however we're still their doormat, and english people are still allowed into scotland to spread the results of their poor policies everywhere. It's really not fair, and I wish we could just close our borders solidly until it's really gone from england and scotland.

Context: Very anxious about it and if you get it how bad it will be and the resources available to help you. I’m worried also about my family and how they will cope. It’s a very worrying time for everyone. Also I don’t know if part of the media reports is scaremongering. It’s hard to know what to believe.  Not sure what else I can write in this topic really. I do worry about how long lockdown will be for. I am wanting to get back to the gym again see my friends, also I want my daughter to be able to see her friends back at school before she starts her new school in September.

Context:
Im worried i may have underlying issues that may come to light if get corona.
I am concerned about my diet and lifestyle without being as active as normal.
I am concerned about my mental health not seeing everyone.
I am concerned about my husband and his vulnerability.  I have massive anxiety about shopping but not about stock piling but not being able to get what i need. I am struggling with my routine being out of sync. It is effecting my sleep and wearing me down which in turn i worry will go against me when i get the virus.

Context: It's a very worrying situation because anyone can catch this virus and it doesn't judge who it takes with it. There is something going on and with the current guidelines people are still flouting the rules and going out unnecessarily. I can't wait to be able to move around more freely and go out when I want to and not worry about catching this deadly virus. Currently I feel anxious about getting this virus as I am a keyworker and have no choice to go out to work. I'm not worried about money as I always have something to fall back on.

Context:
I am very worried and anxious about my close family and friends health. My father has just come home from hospital after a 9 week stay, he has a very low immune system so I am terrified of him catching it. My partners father only has weeks left to live due to cancer, we are distraught at the fact that we may not be able to attend his funeral.
I am also very worried about money due to my partner being self employed for only 7 months which means we do not qualify for a grant. Also all his jobs have cancelled. We have a 1 year old daughter who is luckily to young to understand, but I am worried about the world she's growing up in.

Context: I worry about my parents who are both over 75. I live with them and I worry that I could pick up the virus and pass it on to them, and that ultimately I may be the cause of their deaths. At the same time I have to do everything that they would otherwise do outside of the home. It's a weight on me and I feel it everyday, even for simple things like taking out the bins or doing shopping. I also don't see this ending anytime particularly soon, and I worry about the effect it will have on my own mental health.

Context: I feel generally hopeful that things are improving in the Uk. However my anxiety comes from the fact that I am acutely aware that this is a global issue and that the coronavirus situation elsewhere could very quickly affect the improved situation we have here. The rising cases in Europe are worrying. I am also concerned for poorer countries with densely populated poor districts where basic health precautions are challenging. This makes me both sad and anxious. I can't take full pleasure in our improving situation here whilst others are still suffering.  I feel that the situation is precarious and so I don't feel that I can take full pleasure in the situation improving as I feel it could quickly go backwards as it did last year. I appreciate that we now have vaccines but the global vaccine supply is a major issue as is the ability of the virus to mutate. I think we should appreciate and make the most of the increased freedoms we will shortly be getting in UK whilst still being aware that we are a long way from this pandemic being over yet and that these freedoms may be curtailed again.

Context: I feel many people are not taking this seriously and it doesn't help that our government seems so unorganised, as it makes me feel they aren't taking it seriously either. There are still people going out for the sake of it and there simply isn’t enough being done to make sure people stay home. There are still people panic buying and they do it even online meaning people who actually need medicine at this moment can’t get it because there’s people buying it just in case they need it. It makes me angry that people are so selfish and ignorant and I’m scared because it means my parents have to go out for shopping and my father is at high risk and soon we will be in a predicament like Italy.

Context: I am very concerned as I work in a vulnerable care home and suffer from an underlining illness which could cause lots of health issues and could end up in the result of deaths. The way the public are treating this is beyond a joke, they need to understand that the longer they disobey the guidelines set out the more people will suffer and die. If these people were too see the suffering that is occurring by people with covid 19 and how bad they are struggling and how close they are to death they would change their tune and start listening to what they have been instructed.

Context: Due to current vaccination process in the Uk I feel more at ease as the numbers of people being affected has now decreased. This has allowed schools to slowly reopen and staff to return back to work. I am most looking forward to normality returning to Uk and being able to visit family. This has been the biggest takeaway from the pandemic how lonely one can feel when they are away from their loved ones. However this is not to say you should not take care when you are out and about. There are still several variants of the disease and still a vast number of the population being affected although not in the thousands like December 2020.

Context: Sacred for the whole country, but really scared for my elderly parents. Scared of the financial implications for myself and my husband. Worry that the value of our house will deteriorate and we will be in a much poorer situation as a result. Think that the country will go into a recession. Am now worried that the priminister is now in intensive care. Miss seeing my friends and loosing contact with them. Live in fear of picking something up and transferring it to my parents and worry about them dying

Context: I am worried about the people who are not taking the situation seriously and are putting others at risk. No one should be selfish and behave like they can do whatever they want. I’m not scared of getting coronavirus but I’m worried about passing it on to others who might not survive having it. I am finding staying at home to be quite easy because the stakes are so high. I find being alone suits me and it’s the right thing to do. I live alone so I’m having lots of time to myself to do the things I want to do. I’m a musician and I can record alone, so that passes the time and is fun.

Context: I feel scared about what is to come, and anxiety about whether I will lose people I care about to this and the impact it will have on our future lives. I am worried about my parents and my partner's parents who are elderly and have breathing problems. I know they would not survive this. I am worried about future employment situation and worried that there might be a depression. I do not feel confidence in our government's ability to manage this situation. I feel sad that my son can't see his grandparents and we are stuck inside and I can't take my toddler on the swings. As I type this I am tearing up about it.

Context:
I'm not so much scared for my own health but my parents. They're in multiple risk groups and I'm terrified that if they catch it they'll die. My mother particularly has a violent cough she's had for almost a year, but despite seeing her GP multiple times, it's undiagnosed and continues. If she catches Covid-19 on top on that, with her two other risk groups... I'm genuinely frightened she'll die. If the situation gets worse, she might not even get a ventilator if she needs one. (I have several very choice words for Boris about that and none of them are polite.) I'm just anxious, constantly, that not only might she catch it but I might be the one to give it to her. I couldn't live with that.

I want this to be over as much as anyone else but we're not even halfway through the woods yet, let alone out of them. I hope you're doing better, researcher, because it's a fine line between monotony and despair here.

Context:
I am worried about my family as they come under the vulnerable category. The government needs to do more and probably needs to initiate lockdown as people are still going outside for non essential reasons. This is the only way we can reduce the number of new cases and deaths each day.

Lots of anxiety over the fact that this has spread all over the world and the death rate and new cases are increasing day by day.

I'm scared that the economy will take a bit and worried about my job as well as my husband , how will we be able to manage if we are not able to go to work and earn money, being furloghed means we only obtain 80% of salary which eventually will not be enough to sustain our family

Context: I am angry people are not listening to lockdown although me and my family are. I am having to work through it and they are ignorant and do not care about my welfare.  I am anxious about the financial situation as i have money invested which has   gone down. I am young so not too worried 're my health but my son's mental health as he is not at school and he is asd and my father is alone and his wife stranded in australia and i have not been able to see him. My wife just started a new job so I'm worried about that.

Context:
I'm starting to feel like this whole situation will probably never end, or we'll never be back again as to how we were, I'm really confused, and my mental health is steadily deteriorating.
 I feel like everything's hard and care about other people is slowly declining, everyone is becoming a lot more self centered and empty.
It's a really tough situation, one that last year I thought it might end, but right now I'm thinking back to it and I sincerely do not know how to feel about it
 I hope this is over, with not many dead people, not many broken homes, broken people and broken mental health.
 With people of less fortunate economical backgrounds able to stand on their feet.
Low income people are on a really tight spot right now, and it's crazy thinking that you can't go to work, but there are people also not getting paid as well with stimulus checks etc

Context:
I feel worried as I am returning to work as a primary teacher on Monday. I still have had no vaccine and I’ll be around 30+ children from different families. This is making me very anxious. I feel locked in with nowhere to go. It feels like I have nothing to look forward to and that this situation will never end.
I miss my friends and seeing all of my family. I haven’t seen my Nan/aunties/uncles/cousins in over a year.
I am currently indoors and feel safe as can be at this present moment but the outside world is what makes me anxious.

Context: I am more concerned that the government still isn't handling the covid situation well than I am about actually catching the virus myself. The idea that we could be put in another lockdown after the current one worries me especially with the amount of vaccines and time that has gone into trying to return life back to normal. Although I understand it is a horrible virus that has affected people all over the world, I haven't personally had it nor anyone else I'm close with, the main way I've been affected is since last March I've only been to my university once for a practical and so my education has been negatively affected.

Context: I’m generally an anxious person, ad have been clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression but lock down has strangely eased some of my anxiety that. Before lock down I was anxious about me, my children, husband, siblings, parents and whilst i’m Still anxious and the occasional trip to the supermarket has been heartbreaking as you can see how desperately sad everyone feels, the anxiety I had about lock down and the children coping were largely unfounded and the anxiety is now first and foremost about the virus.

Context:
I am grateful that school has returned for my daughter, but I am still on furlough with no real end date in sight. A lot of my family members have been vaccinated now which is a relief. I am anxious that school will close again and that there will be another lockdown; I don't think I have it in me to homeschool and juggle childcare with no outside help or outside activities (playground, groups, soft play, etc.) again, I think my mental health would suffer to a dangerous extent.

I think it's nice to have hope about things reopening and going back to normal in the next few months, but I just feel very apprehensive. I feel anxious about the demands that will be made on me once things do open up (family members wanting to meet up, activities with friends and my daughter's friends and their parents) - I'm not sure how ready I am to travel or to be around large groups of people. It's a weird situation to be in.

Context: I am very anxious for my children and relatives. I want normality back again for my children. I just want to do simple things like walk in the forest and 'pop' out to the shop. I just want the world to heal and this be behind us. I wish for freedom again and safety for the people who are risking so much. These people are going beyond the role that they are paid for. I hope after this that the government will realise they should be funding the NHS in a better way. I hope that our Prime Minister sees that things need to change.

Context:
Anxious. The Prime Minister is in Intensive Care as of this evening.
As a former nurse I have a good understanding how serious this is, and how fast people can deteriorate. I feel until now an awful lot of people have been dabbling with obeying the rules and this is a HUGE wake up call.
Four weeks ago I instituted a handwashing station at home, beside the front door, in my utility room. Liquid soap, single use hand drying cloths which go straight into the washing machine.
A week later I tild my son who works in a supermarket that his uniform had to go straight in the wash when he comes in from work and I started wiping down the groceries with dilute bleach.
I haven't been out apart from grocery shopping for three weeks and haven't seen my partner, who lives 40 miles away, for three weeks either. I am taking this VERY seriously and was doing all this stuff a long time before my friends were. They thought I was a bit mad, to be honest.
This is a time where the government say JUMP and the correct response it How High?

Context: just feeling a bit anxious about the whole situation as i have asthma and elderly grandparents/older parents which puts us all in the high risk category. Also not being allowed to freely go outside is worrying even though it is much safer. But some family members still commute to work which is kind of worrying as they could unknowingly bring it home. I'm not really sure what else to add as for the most part i am just working from home so it is a pretty big distraction even though a lot of the time it is hard to concentrate on my tasks as I havent worked from home before.


Context: It's worrying how things have escalated as much as it has. I keep up to date with the news and it does make me feel a bit anxious, but I think it's essential to know what's happening. I'm not a high risk person but my parents are, so keeping them safe is a priority. It's frustrating having to stay home but it's the only way to curb things while waiting for a vaccine to be developed. I never really left the house much before the lockdown anyway, although now it's enforced, I now have more of a desire to go out. I've been washing my hands a lot more frequently, and also started to use hand moisturiser to keep them from cracking.

Context: I am enjoying the down time and doing things at a slower pace, I feel relaxed. I feel hopeful about my future as I have done some contemplation about the future. I feel a little annoyed that people are not following the lock down. I feel happy that I am relaxed and have more time to myself. I feel less stressed too, which is a great thing and I am keen to keep this feeling of relaxation. I am grateful that I still have my job and can earn a living. I am not really missing friends. I am suprised that I am enjoying the lockdown.

Context: Slightly worried as I'm in a high risk category but am doing everything I can to keep safe and occupied mentally and physically while I remain inside most of the time. I feel lucky to have a garden to relax and exercise in. Concerned about older relatives around the world and how other places such as the US are tackling the situation. As I'm self-employed there's a constant sense of anxiety that I haven't been able to work for several weeks and government help won't be coming as quickly as would be useful.

Context: I feel worried about the effect Corona will have on the economy and also anxious about any of my loved ones getting this virus. I also feel unsettled as this is such an uncertain time. We do not know how long lockdown will need to last. This open ended situation makes me feel extremely anxious and nervous for the future. I feel happy and thankful to have had no symptoms, nor any of my loved ones have had them. I am also worried because I have no current income. Relying on universal credit will be something I will find hard to do. Not being able to work is having an effect on my routine and I’m therefore sleeping differently to my usual sleep pattern.

Context: i feel scared and worried about the current situation as a lot of people in my city have corona virus.also, i feel a bit devastated as i am missing out on learning that is very valuable for my future. furthermore, i was looking for to summer and now that has been ruined due to corona virus and feel very sad because of this. also, i am quite angry because i am a sport enthusiast and there will be no football tournament which would have been the euros and also i like to watch athletics and this year there was planned to be the summer Olympics and because of corona there will be no Olympics.furthermore my friend was going to get married but now that is not gonna go how it was because of corona and i was shocked at first as he waited two years for his big day and now he can not have his wedding because of corona virus.

Context:
I think the news ect, has escalated it more than needs to be, causing fear for a lot of people. I have Anxiety and depression, I have a fear of leaving the house, and have only left the house already a handful of times since last year, with all this going on now I'm unable to even leave my bedroom because of everyone's actions around me, seeing how anxious and stressed, they are.

I'm a carer for my mum, she cant get up to even make food to get her tablets with, because we couldnt get a food delivery, I had to force myself get her some food from the corner shop, less than 2 minutes away, but because I was anxious with everyone around me, I ended up having an anxiety attack, everyone around me thought it was corona virus, since they're all clueless listening to what everyone else says, and it ended up making me worse. for 2 days I was in agony only sending myself worse cause of the whole situation, I can still hear there reactions towards me.

Im also now unable to get my medication, from my doctors, or have my follow up appointments, at the doctors, and meetings to help with my anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

Context: Currently, I feel anxious that the situation in the UK will not improve due to people flouting the lockdown rules. However, this period has been, so far, a time of rejuvenation and therefore there have been happy moments at home. I have also seen the emergence of a greater community spirit in my area. There is also a great sadness for the lives that have been already lost, especially health workers who are putting their lives on the line to help others survive. I hope that people, especially the government, will recognise this after the corona virus.

Context: The most vulnerable members of my family have all survived and have all had their first dose of vaccine. Therefore, I feel lucky to have come through the last year relatively unscathed. The Corona situation feel like it is almost over but I am still cautious because my relatives still need their second vaccine dose and I haven't had my first dose yet. I do not spend as much time thinking about the Corona situation now as I did last year but I am ashamed of how my country failed to handle the outbreak and how certain MP's have used the situation to enrich themselves and their friends.

Context:
I’m feeling worried because I’m not sure how I feel about going back to school on Monday and I haven’t had a vaccine yet. I want to be able to give my mum a hug and can’t yet because it’s not safe. I don’t want to catch covid and I don’t want my family to be infected with it either. I want the world to go back to normal and to be able to go into a shop without risk. I want to be able to visit family and friends and to get my hair cut and my nails done.
I think my daughter has missed out on a lot by not being able to go to play centres and ballet classes etc. I hope the projected route out of lockdown is able to go smoothly.

Context: It quite exhausting especially when the corona virus has been so long time. I would want to get back to new normal, where there is no restrictions on socializing with people and going outside for activities. I especially look forward going back to work, because staying at home has been quite difficult. The difficulty is to stay inside and having the same routine everyday, with no chance to explore new things outside. It is bit difficult to continue doing same things over and over again. Even though it has been nice to do your own thing it is difficult to have the meaning on what you’re doing.

Context: Frustrated that a year on, we seem to be in the same position we were back then. Hopeful that it will all be over by the end of the year thanks to the vaccines. But anxious that it won't be enough and things will never return to normal. Because of all the above, I have a rush of mixed feelings that can feel very confusing and disorientating. However I try to stay feeling as positive as I can, rather than letting it all get to me. So a lot of people probably don't even realise how I'm truly feeling.

Context: It is quite concerning, not just the impact the virus is having on those catching it but the future economic impact it is going to have on people’s livelihoods etc. You can envisage an increase in mental health issues, increase in suicides and the potential for social disorder as people struggle financially. Currently due to lockdown you are hearing about increase in domestic violence. For people with other health conditions the requirement to respond to the coronavirus outbreak is potentially proving detrimental to them receiving treatment.

Context: I feel trapped in my own studio. I have absolutely nothing to do. I just keep watching Netflix and I hate myself for doing so. I have no motivation to do anything. I'm tired, anxious for not knowing how much longer I'll have to do this for, scared for my family and myself. I feel extremely lonely. Videocalls feel fake like I'm not really talking to my friends or family. I really hope the quarantine state ends soon. I feel unsure about the future. Every day feels exactly the same and I hate it. I think I'm becoming depressed.

Context: At the moment, I feel as though I am stuck, paralysed and inert. I do not leave my house and, I know this is odd, but I do not want to leave my house when lockdown ends. I am fearful. Fearful of the future. Not only are we dealing with the pandemic, but we are dealing with Brexit and an inept, corrupt Goverment. This is frightening. I am scared and I am anxious. Even though I will be getting the vaccine soon, I don't feel as though I will be safe. I lost my job last year due to redundancy and I cannot imagine how I will get back to work. I have very little money to live on. The future is bleak; I am tired all the time and I have terrible thoughts.

Context: I feel really uncertain about everything that is going on, it is quite scary not knowing when things are going to go back to normal. I am really sad about everything I have had to leave or put on hold during this time. I am anxious about losing my job and not having work. I am really unmotivated to continue my studies during this crisis. I feel more isolated than ever and don't know how I can continue to cope. I am worried for all the people in vulnerable situations and angry at how this situation will be affecting them and the lack of help available

Context:
I feel fearful of the health of my family, especially my grandparents. I am sad because I have lost my job and I'm losing my apartment this week. I feel anxious because I don't know what's going to happen.
I feel driven, a desire to retake control In my life
I feel lonely, I live on my own and I miss my friends, family and partner greatly.
Losing so much due to the outbreak and not being financially stable for it not to effect me makes me feel like a failure
I try my best not to be negative or let in depressed emotions

Context: Just worried about the future. There's so much uncertainty about my health, my family's health and our financial state that we just want it all to stop and go back to normal. That's the key to the situation, normality. Adapting to new ways of living (e.g. staying at home all the time and working from home without getting out) is proving to be increasingly difficult day by day. It's hard staying shut all day without getting any fresh air. I just want life to go back to the way it was where I could come and go as I please and go out and play sports/see friends/go out to eat etc.

Context:
I feel anxious about what the future holds. I am working from home and staying indoors. I am angry at those they are not obeying the rules of lockdown. I feel a lot of uncertainty about what our future holds. We are in the middle of a house sale which is adding more anxiousness into the situation, not knowing whether this will go ahead.

I am frustrated about shopping online. Ocado have cancelled our weekly slot meaning we now have to go to the shop which goes against lockdown rules. When we do go to the shop, we can only manage to buy half of what is on our list, with basic ingredients being compromised.

Context: I feel quite strange and scared to be honest and feel upset that I can't see my family and I feel like I don't really want to go out as I feel safe at home. I just want it all to be over and everyone to be ok which I don't think is going to happen anytime soon. When I do go out at the moment it is just to the shop to get food and I go out to exercise maybe twice a week I miss going out as I like to run with my friends from a running club I am at but cant even do that at the min so having to run on my own which I don't like really.

Context: I feel very angry at the situation and anxious that my family will be affected - especially my mother who falls into the high risk category. I feel disgusted at the Asian warm meat and wet markets, for their barbaric practices which allowed this virus and others before Corona to spread to humans. I also deplore the way they treat animals it is disgusting and beyond cruel. Ideally I would like to see these markets closed down. All precautions must be taken to avoid this happening again. The whole world must work together and put changes in place to make sure this never happens again

Context: I feel it has drained me and more than anything I feel exhausted by it all. I feel happy that there is a road map and schools have returned today but I am anxious about the impact this will have on the R rate. I am also worried that people will start to flout the rules and regs sooner than allowed which will backfire and I fear that this could send us into another lock down once more which I worry would be utterly devastating for society, the economy and people in general. I am sad that a pandemic has caused such hurt and pain and sadness for the world.

Context:
I feel very worried, i know the figures have dropped in the UK but that worries me in the sense that we will come out of lockdown and a second wave will hit.

I really hate the lockdown and not being able to see my family or friends for over 3 weeks now has taken its toll on my mental health. Its hard when there is no end in sight.

I wonder what will happen if god forbid, boris dies. will the country carry on, will we all be too shocked to believe it? there are so many unknowns my anxiety feels very unmanaged at the moment.

Context: At this moment I do not have much fear for myself as a healthy 22 year old. I do however have fear for my parents, both of which are high risk and could be seriously affected if given the virus. This gives me anxiety in going out as I cannot risk picking it up and bringing it home to them. I also feel both disgust and admiration for officials who are acting in this situation, given that we are having to improvise I am impressed by high ups and especially, as a third year uni student, admire educational staff for adapting quickly.

Context: I feel Very confused and stressed. I don’t know what’s going to happen about my mortgage or my rent payments or how to pay all the bills when my job has cut my pay and hours, though I still have to go in. I was also supposed to be starting a new teaching job in September and gaining some in class experience by viewing the current class sessions with their teacher, find out what levels they’re at, how they teach, the schools dialling system etc. I’m also upset about my current job and if about my school will  reopen. I haven’t been able to give the children s proper send off or say goodbye as I won’t still be there in September. Some of the children are experiencing loss and I can’t be there for them which also upsets me. I’m confused and anxious as we have no idea what’s going on or what to compare this to. I’m also angry that people still aren’t obiding by the rules enforced. Also, nothing is more irritating than being isolated with a lazy partner and a screaming 3 year old that doesn’t understand why we can’t go outside.

Context: I feel happy that things seem to be moving along with the Corona situation. It put my mind at rest when we were given a roadmap out of lockdown. I'm sad that my wedding has been cancelled twice but hopeful that I can get married later this year. I'm concerned about my finances as I've lost a lot of income due to Corona but again hopeful that I'll be able to sort that out soon. My Dad has had his vaccine so that is good news and we hopefully will get ours in the next few months. I'm looking forward to be able to go out and about again.

Context: Whenever i think things will get better, business can be reopen, there are always something make me feel depressed. Too much mixed messages out there, locally and internationally. People should stick together and make things back to normal again. However, I think its a bit too early for students back to school when there are still 10K new cases a day...I really wish the number will not rise again because of that. It is not easy to bring the new cases down from 60K a day to 10K, the government should really be very careful about this as I think it is the main reason why the number was so high before. In fact instead of school, they should let non essential business to open first with a very very strict measure.

Context: The current Corona situation makes me feel apprehensive.  Although some countries are seeing a slow decline in rates of infection and death, there is still a lot of fear in other countries. How the world will change when the infection has passed is also a cause for concern.  There seems to be a lot of misinformation being reported within in the media and it is hard to know which sources to trust.  The government are doing a fairly good job but I feel having the antigen tests available would ease some of the concerns.

Context: i am feeling scared and anxious about what this holds for the country and economy. i am concerned for my family's finances and health. I am worried about how long and how grave this will be for the world. I am trying to avoid the news, it can easily become overwhelming. i am trying to distract myself and appreciate what I have. I also am trying to help those who have less than me, like vulnerable neighbours. I also ring family members, if i don't  hear from them I am more worried than I normally would be.

Context:
I am worried for the safety of my son as, of course, I still have to leave the house and am fearful of contracting the virus while out or passing it along to him. I am a little angry (though rather more annoyed) with people who flout social distancing guidelines and continue to meet in large social groups or travel unnecessarily as they are preventing others from returning to normality.
I also worry that I go out too much, however these are only for trips to the shop for food for myself or vulnerable family members, though I know there is more I could do.

Context: My current feelings is mostly anxiety as I suffer from depression anyway way before this pandemic so staying in and working from home is a welcome relief . I try and avoid the news as they focus on negativity too much . I see this pandemic carrying on for longer than expected for some reason , also one good thing to come out of all this is that crime levels are down and it keeps kids/gangs off the streets ect . One of the down sides is the waiting in hospitals for people with life threatening illnesses as myself have a issue with health and have had hospital appointments cancelled like many others , not that its anyones fault it's just the way it is . I believe lockdowns should carry on for a bit longer to be on the safe side .
