Context: I feel worried. I'm scared for my family and myself. I'm angry at how people are still stock pilling food and how the idiots don't understand we are not supposed to be going out. All we have to do it stay in which most people would love to do yet some idiots don't understand how the longer they disobey rules the longer we will be like this. I wish people would listen more and help eachother. I'm worried about university and how we don't know what will happen next year, or even if we will start again this year.

Context: I am anxious about not knowing when I will able to see my family and friends next especially as its getting boring having been in the house all the time. Moreover, I am frustrated that having invested emotionally and financially into going into the travel industry just before the virus struck its going to be a long time before I see any sort of benefits materialise. Furthermore, I miss watching sport a great deal as its a release from the norm of life and so cannot wait for that to return which will mean hopefully normality is on its way as well.

Context: Sad and fed up, we could've had a much shorter lockdown if we had of just respected it after seeing what happened in Europe, Italy especially, instead we had a year long lockdown and its depressing, government has failed us and now, even though I was working during it, I will have to pay more taxes and lose more money because of their furlough scheme. Just sad how rough the next year will be for everyone when everyone but us somehow didn't see it coming, closing international flights and letting people in the country took forever to stop which was a joke.

Context: I feel more anxious since Boris has been hospitalised. I feel like this situation could have been avoided if stricter practices were adhered to in China. It feels like authorities knew that this could and would happen but for some reason we didn’t prevent it happening. I understand that this was a difficult situation to handle but I am now fearful that this could easily happen again in the future and have we learnt if changed anything? Will the country recover from this? A lot of questions to be answered but only the future will tell us the answers.

Context: i feel sad that there is a current lockdown and so cannot move around. or go dancing, eating, doing sports with friends and general socialisation is hindered. it is also annoying that university is online and companies aren't hiring as much as before. i am also abit anxious about the covid vaccines and how safe they really are. it is a bit worrisome that is came out under a year when normally putting a new drug into the market takes up to a decade. my finances have been affected by covid and theres not a-lot i can do about it. i also have to study under this conditions which is not ideal. its hard finding motivation to study and do my lectures. exams are fast approaching and i barely know what is going on. i have failed to prioritise and manage my time wisely. not because i don't know how to do that but more to do with lack of motivation. i am also so worried about doing loads of things that i just lie down still and watch a tv show unable to do anything. this isn't new to me but i had a system in place to counteract this which includes going into university to study on campus or at my local library.

Context: I have never felt to anxious ever. I suffer with mild anxiety but nothing major. I had my first ever panic attack. It was awful. I’m currently a university student and am I’m my final year so this all happening now has really hit me. I miss my friends, boyfriend and other family members. I can’t wait for things to go back to normal cause I don’t know how long I can take this. My nan and granddad are stuck in complete lockdown in Cyprus and that upsets me everyday. I just want to go out there and see them. My boyfriend is currently home from uni and all I want to do is see him but we can’t. We miss each other so much but it’s too risky to see each due to him having his nan live with him. We also have a holiday booked in June which I was so looking forward to, I’m honestly gutted. I keep looking at what I was doing last year and I was just a more happy person

Context:
There feels like for the first time a light at the end of the tunnel. But the effects that it has had are going to be long lasting from education and peoples money situation from not being able to work to mental health.
I do hope soon that normal life can be resumed as long as there is no longer a threat to people.
I feel better about the situation as a whole as the vaccinations are ramping up and soon normality will be slowly resumed. I am grateful that I have been able to continue to work through this time and am lucky that my life hasn't been too affected.

Context: I’m scared that someone I or someone I love will be affected by coronavirus. Our family financial situation is in turmoil, and that makes me anxious. I get annoyed by people who aren’t taking it seriously. I’m not sure that there’s any real way to stop the coronavirus and I worry that we’re going to be left in a situation where everyone has to catch it and they either get over it or they don’t. Mostly, I’m a knot of fear and anxiety, and it feels like things will never go back the way they were.

Context: At the moment my anxiety of the uncertain is causing my mental health anxiety and depression to flair up quite badly. The fact that people on the frontline are working with very little PPE is worrying for their lives and also disgusting when it comes to the underfunding of the NHS which has caused the lack of preparations for this pandemic which we could see was coming a mile off. I am thankful for community and friends pulling together to help one another out and make it as painless as possible, but I am angry that the politicians did not take earlier steps to shut down the country before it grew to the level it is now at.

Context: Annoyed at the timing as I am recently self employed but and slightly anxious about effects on work but otherwise fine. As I am a landscaper and gardener it is just like a less busy period over winter etc. Looking forward to returning to normal but slightly concerned at missing my peak income over the spring and summer period. Also slight concern for more vulnerable members of my family. Currently mostly self isolating but still working as I am able to work alone with no contact with many of my customers. Have stopped any work that does or would contain direct contact. Going on a walk on days I am not working in an attempt to stay fit but during lockdown eating seems to be a go to because of boredom.

Context:
I feel more positive about the situation now that so many people have been vaccinated. I personally have not been, so I still feel anxious about going out. I am appalled by the way the government has ""handled"" this crisis, which makes me angry. I feel very sad that so many people have died unnecessarily.

I am looking forward to returning to work, but hope to have the vaccine before that happens.

I think that the government should tread very carefully so that we don't end up with another lockdown later in the year.

Context: I feel that this was a man made disease, I have no compassion, my anger is great, but least the animals hopefully will be ok , had to rush my dog to the vets today , she has to have an operation tonight, I can't stay due to regulations , my daughter is off school, I'm worried for the children, depression, not socialising , worried for my eldest , works in a pharmacy , not to wear PPE unless in contact , worried for my elder son , required to work , worried for my mum, she doesn't access internet , she's high risk, but no help available , her doctors surgery in not empithetic , oh I have a long list but doubt if this data will go far

Context: I am feeling particularly anxious at the present moment at the prospect of having to shop for groceries tomorrow. I have tried to get an online delivery and can't and that is frustrating. I have chronic health challenges and don't feel good about going into a store around more people than I have been around in a fortnight. It is scary and intimidating. I don't like shopping in store at the best of times and this feels intense. I resent the people panic buying and making everything so much harder than it needs to be.

Context: I feel anxious about when this will end. I am worried about family members and miss spending time with them. I am upset about having to stop fertility treatment due to the outbreak and have no idea when it can start up again. It is already such an upsetting process over which you have no control and lots of long waits. I have problems with anxiety anyway and exercise and spending time outdoors in the countryside are the best things that help with this. I find it frustrating that my ability to do the things that keep me well are being affected.

Context: I have gotten used to the Coronavirus situation. I've made the best of a bad situation. Hopefully it'll be less restrictive soon and we can all start relaxing and enjoying life a bit more, rather than just trying to get through it. I am nervous about being made to go back to working in an office. I prefer working from home - it's been one of the few good things to come out of  coronavirus and lockdown. I hope it stays around once lockdown has been lifted. It's been brought but I have made the best of the poor situation.

Context: I am feeling very anxious about the corona situation. I am feeling very angry and frustrated at people's selfish behaviour and anxiety about the future. As I am vulnerable and cannot be vaccinated at the moment, I'm really scared about the future as I think people will stop caring at all about social distancing and face coverings as soon as they are vaccinated, not considering those of use who are vulnerable but cannot be vaccinated. It is a very scary time and I don't know what the future holds apart from more shielding and isolation and anxiety.

Context: I have just found out that even though 80 percent of my workforce has been furloughed. I have not been chosen. This means I have still got a number of months unsure of my rostering, unable to plan or get a second job. I feel that my colleagues who have been furloughed are less anxious and also will be financially better off. I am getting bored and frustrated at home but also anxious how we are going to emerge out of this at the other end. This seems a distant future. Regards catching the virus I am not too worried as I feel I am relatively strong and healthy and have been maintaining a healthy amount of exercise and eating well to keep my immune system strong. I am missing physical interactions with people.

Context:
Worried about the government response especially now Boris johnson is in intensive care and unable to lead the country. Nurses and medics are dying and there is not enough personal protection equipment to keep staff safe. I feel quite anxious and stressed about the future and the impact on my family particularly my children who are in their twenties.
My elderly mother and my father in law are both self isolating and they are lonely and no real idea how this will end. The ecomonic impacts will be felt for a long time after the pandemic has passed.

Context:
Uncertain, anxious and scared. Angry that this happened and worried for my own health as well as my family.
Anxious to even go out for essentials as you do not know who has it and who does not. These people may not know they have it but are spreading this virus by not keeping to the government guidelines.
Angry that some people in my country are not sticking to guidelines and will make this lockdown last for longer.
Also agitated. Being stuck in every day and not having my usual routine.
Uncertain on when this will end, if my job will be safe after it all, if the economy will recover from this.

Context: Worried about the amount of people who will die from this. I am also worried as I am emotional eater and obviously going to the shops is much harder. I'm struggling to keep going. I'm worried for particular family members about their health and am trying my best to keep everyone healthy. I am also worried about my university exams as everything in my final year has now been cancelled and changed, it all feels very strange. I constantly feel like I'm on edge and my tummy feels weird. I feel a little bit more chilled in another way as there is no more pressure to socialise or anything and I find that I am anxious a lot to see people anyway, now I dont have that pressure or have to make up excuses to friends.

Context: I am angry at people who are not following the guidelines and I feel that it is putting me at risk more as I have to leave the house for essentials etc. I am worried then that I am putting my family at risk after coming home from shopping! If everyone followed the rules then we would be able to get back to normal faster than if they don't. I feel that things might also get a lot worse before they get better and it scares me. I am scared that my work will dry up and I will be made redundant after this all goes away too. It will be a scary few months .

Context: I feel anxious about what this means for my birth plans. I was planning a home birth in 8 weeks but it is now unclear whether that will go ahead. I’m also trying to work full time while looking after a toddler which is very difficult. The most difficult part is the uncertainty. If we knew when this would all be over, I and other people would feel much more positive about the situation. I am trying to find the positives in general - I am getting to spend more time with my son and my husband which is lovely.

Context: I'm still anxious. Many people behave like they are fine with the situation, but circumstances are still the same. Deadly virus is flying around. We are not vaccinated, vaccine is not working in 100 percent, virus have more and more variants, so nothing really changed. I'm frustrated, have enough and I worry a lot. I would like this to be over and I'm angry, because it could be of people would behave and have some common sense. I'm also frustrated, because I see many people (online) that are denying the virus, it's possible outcome or vaccination program. I'm sad that there is so many things that we cannot do or miss out.

Context:
Disgust at the number of people flouting the social distancing ban. Also disgusted by people abusing key workers and especially angry at the individuals who find it necessary to spit at others and inflict fear that they’ve been infected.
Worry for my family who some are in the very vulnerable and vulnerable categories. Also worry with ensuring they have the necessary food for their 12 week isolation.
Sadness at the number of deaths so far and the likelihood it will get worse before it gets better.
Hope that the numerous research departments will develop a vaccine or treatment. Hope to participate in a clinical trial and assist in this too.

Context: I am feeling very anxious and concerned about the future. I feel sad about missing out on the end of my uni year, about not being able to see family and friends especially my boyfriend. Staying in lockdown is hard but is a good thing for us to do, it just is taking some getting used to. I am also stressed about my university work i have to complete. I have to do online exams but I am finding it extremely hard to concentrate. I am happy to be able to do my part for the NHS and all the essential workers in the country. That gives me some hope about how the country is sticking together and community is thriving.

Context: I feel utterly drained by the situation and can still no real end of it all. I am angry at those who think they can carry on and ignore the rules, they are selfish and I'm fed up of them all. If everyone worked together maybe we could have already ended this! I wish the world was as it was and I'm so sad that I can't see my family at the moment as I miss them so much and it has been so long since I saw them last. It just gets me down and the anxiety I've been feeling has been off the charts, I no longer sleep properly which in itself is highly frustrating.

Context:
I feel like we are approaching the peak of the virus. I am usually a worrier and experience much anxiety on a daily basis. However, in the last few weeks my mental health has improved massively. I do not see the point in worrying about this - I am doing all I can to keep myself and my family safe and feel confident that other family members and friends are doing likewise. This knowledge relaxes me.

My sleep has been mildly disrupted but I presume this is due to my daily routine being less active. I am happy to have lost weight due to takeaways being closed. I allow myself to look at the news once a day. I feel sad for those who have lost their life. Then I move on and do something else.

Context: I am worried for the implications this will have for us as a community and our families when it is over. I worry how long it will affect our lives for and how much it could possibly mutate and be a even bigger problem. I am thankful for my family Blaine able to keep safe at home despite being a key worker who is still open to infection. I do wonder why it took so long for our lockdown to happen and why more stringent measures haven’t been taken to prevent it spreading further, although it would be difficult to do it is definitely what the country needs.

Context: I am worried about many things because of covid. my university texans begin in one months time and it has to be all online which worries me because i don’t feel like i have been getting the best quality of education with online school. my parents are now vaccinated but i still am not so i am still very cautious whenever i go to work or go outside. many customer that i interact with at work do not wear masks or follow the sociall distancing guidelines and it really annoys me. i feel like covid has made me a lot more reclusive because i don’t se my friends. i am always tired and bored about being indoors.

Context:
At this moment in time I feel annoyed because many people are ignoring the Quarantine rules despite knowing the consequences. They are going to their friend's houses, going to public parks and socialising and not taking anybody else into consideration. By doing this they are putting the rest of us at risk. I feel like the current lock down will be extended because of people's inability to follow simple rules.
I also feel worried because many people are dying from the disease. Quite a few people's parents are dying and I find this worrying and upsetting. The fact that people have to dies a lonely death is quite disturbing.

Lastly, I feel rather isolated. I am staying with people, but it would be nice to see my friends. Facetime and Houseparty will have to do for the mean time.

Context:
Worried about my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of my family and friends,
Worried that I cannot go seek medical attention for other issues as I face an increased danger of contracting the virus if I go to these places.
Can't leave the house as I'm severely asthmatic and genuinely feel as though I may die.
Haven't left the house since March 22nd, and I'm worried about how long I will be inside with limited sources for food and supplies.
Worried how my job and the economy will be affected after this.

Context: The Corona situation is worrying me and causing me to be anxious. I am worried about my family who are mostly keyworkers and therefore have to be out and about on the frontlines And thankful that I am able to work from home during this situation and know that my young daughter is safe in the house and we have everything we need right now. In regards to shopping and utilities and general home stuff. I don't have to worry too much about myself but I worry about others. I am anxious over how long this situation will last in the UK and what the follow on effect will be for the world as we know it

Context: I feel frustrated from people not listening to the government advice and putting everyone else at risk. As someone with asthma, I’m also quite anxious when I do have to leave the house as I’m worried that people aren’t following the 2m guidelines. While at home I’m quite relaxed, as I have three other housemates so we’re keeping each other entertained. Being limited to my flat for the most part is fine, but can get frustrating. I feel that the news is sometimes helpful, but in other ways in exacerbating they anxious feelings as it seems relentless and often makes assumptions on where the death toll will be in days instead of based on real facts.


Context:
Calm about the situation although as a key work, i have anxiety about catching the virus. We have a holiday booked so anxious on what will happen with that and that all friends and family stay safe and well.
We are staying up to date everyday with the news reports and are hoping that as a nation and globally we can fight through it.
There is anger towards the potential news that this started either bu the government or an accidental lab leak in china. Causing issues all over the world with not only a physical impact on health but financially for all services and sectors.

Context:
I feel extremely paranoid that I will get corona.
I'm doing everything in my power to stay indoors.
I wipe every item that comes into my house.
I want it to be over I fear for my life an my family n friends
My anxiety levels are high, an I cant sleep at night, I also have no desire to do anything at all around the house.
I watch an read social media, and that doesnt help at all.
I also worry alot about my financial situation.
I have plans that have been ruined now, an I solely blame Asia for eating anything that moves and those markets are horrendous an need  losing immediately

Context: I recently received my covid-19 vaccine so my anxiety has reduced somewhat about contracting covid however i know that this is still possible. my dad has terminal cancer and i am a front line worker so i still have a lot of anxiety around passing something to my dad. all our immediate family received the vaccine and are looking forward to our second dose to further boost our immune systems. i am cautious about coming out of lockdown as not everybody adheres to restrictions and social distancing and it  feels early to be opening everything back up again

Context: Will be more hopeful when had vaccinations. Still too many idiots ignoring rules. Anxiety that new strains may lower effectiveness of vaccine. Concerns about employment in future if the economy does not recover sufficiently from the lockdowns or another lockdown is needed. Think covid will be with us for many years to come. We will probably require annual vaccination, and risks will get higher like the flu as I get older. Not sure the government could afford to bail out the economy again if new strains mean another lockdown.

Context: I am feeling very worried and anxious about the whole situation, from the immediacy of my family, or myself, catching the virus and dying, through to the longer term impacts on the economy and the well-being of my family (such as access to work, education, being able to maintain our rented home, accessing food etc). Its made me so bad I am chronically hyperventilating with anxiety, which makes me more anxious :( I just want my life to go back to where it was, as i felt that we were just getting our life on track. I worry that i will lose my work, and end up with no money to pay for our home, our food and that will mean my kids suffer, and i dont want that.

Context: There's a slight sense of worry since there's a suspicion that this might not be a one time thing. The virus could mutate and come back even worse on a seasonal basis. Overall though I think it's likely there will be a vaccine within a year or so. It will be interesting to see how all of this social distancing influences behaviour once it is all over, and how easy it will be to return to normal. It might also be interesting to see how long this will take. I can't imagine a world where everything is back to normal any time soon. Some unsavoury characters might even tryo to take advantage of the situation.

Context:
I recently got vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine. I am feeling more comfortable at the moment and at ease from experiencing friends and relatives contracting COVID-19 and them only having minor symptoms at worst. The vaccine is giving me some aches and pains and a fever, but otherwise I am fine. However, other people who have had the vaccine have been a little worse off which is quite disturbing.

I believe that this will likely not be the last lockdown we have. I am frustrated at anti-vaxxers and people who do not take the pandemic seriously.

Context: I feel a constant state of semi-anxiety and dread. It is difficult for me to relax normally so everything is more heightened. I’m tired as I have trouble sleeping. I often feel anxious about the future and when I will next see my sister, boyfriend and go back to work. I’m worried about my family’s finances during all of this. I currently feel calmer than I did a couple of weeks ago, less physical symptoms of stress, ever since my workplace assured me of having full pay and working from home. Having that stability has made me feel slightly better than before

Context:
Anxious and concerned for family members of whom are more at risk than myself, their health is a large cause of concern. Additional stress has been added to everyday life as isolation leads to feeling restricted, it feels almost dirty to think of going for a walk in the park which would have been benign weeks ago.

I am mainly worried about what the future holds and frustrated at the severe negligence that caused these circumstances to begin with. To that point i am angry.

Days blend together with no strict boundaries between activities and lethargy sets in quickly, in terms of some of the aspects this survey probed, i feel little expression in terms of desire or happiness as my feelings and motivations turn to apathy.

Context: I’m worried for my family in they getting corona and are taken very ill. My husband is a key worker and I’m worried about him going to work each day. I’m concerned about what will happen when this ends. I’m unsure about when this will end and how people will come with going out again. I miss my family and friends and about keeping everyone safe. I enjoy my time with my family being so close and being able to play games with them and go on walks and runs and hope that this doesn’t change as this would increase my anxiety further. I feel very lucky to have a safe house.

Context:
I am anxious about the future. I feel there needs to a full lock down to make people take the threat seriously. I am angry at the people who are choosing not to social distance and sad about the people who have lost their lives, their friends and family and people of the NHS who are working through this.
I am trying to remain positive by focusing on how I can use my time now to focus on a better future by studying more. I am sad that I have friends who are suffering with mental health at this time.

Context: I feel a general fear of the the future and uncertainty at how long things will take to get back to some kind of normality. I also feel frustrated at being stuck inside, but I know it's for the greater good. I also do feel connected to people and it's some sense of comfort that the whole world is in this together and pulling together to get through this tough time. There is a lot of uncertainty at this moment in time, and although I know we will get through this, it’s scary to see what the world will look like on the other side. It’s tough to know that things will probably get worse before they get better and this may take some time. Sometimes when you are a few weeks behind the scale of the issue in some countries, you read the news in that country and it can be scary to think that it may be quite like this in my country. Also there is the uncertainty of not knowing what the government will do and how much limitations they will place on us. It is a strange way to be living right now with having to plan each meal, and when to go the shops and how to go the shop to buy provisions at quieter times and to try and avoid any crowds. I also worry about my family and friends who are all quite a long way away from me, and there is a sense of powerlessness that I feel sometimes. This is all quite negative but on the flip side there is opportunity in this in that I can try and work on self development and to put things into perspective and to realise that the fast paced lifestyle that we all lead is actually not the best way to live and in the future once we get through this hopefully people will put things into some sort of perspective and realise that there are more important things in life. It’s also interesting to see how nature is taking a big breather from the impact we as humans have on the world and if there are no flights, factories shut, and less people consuming energy without reason then there could be a positive impact on nature and global warming, which at least would be a good by product from this uncertain and depressing times. Hopefully this will end and people will get used to the new normality but we can be more positive and open to each other and pool together globally for the better. The other scary side product of this is the impact on the financial world, and I think that this may be further reaching and be quite tough. This does worry me to as I don’t know how it will affect me personally and also in the environment around me. All in all it is a strange potential turning point in human history and something that will be talked about for years to come.

Context:
Last year, coronavirus was something new. No one knew much about it and it was scary the way it spread throughout the world.
At present, we have loads of information and loads of research being done which has decreased my fear of it. However, I feel sad when I think of the lives lost and how much the economy has been affected because we were not fast enough to stop it spreading. I feel like the coronavirus is going to be like the flu situation where we would have to get yearly vaccinations to stay healthy.

Context: Extremely anxious about the short term and long term future. Very worried about health and friends and family. Feeling lonely and isolated and struggling to work from home. Unable to see how the nation will get out of lockdown as this seems to be something that governments across the world ate do not agree on. Feeling overwhelmed by the conflicting information coming from the government and scientists. Feeling angry that the government seems to have reacted quite slowly to the situation, and that the messages to the public weren’t clear enough at the beginning. Feeling angry at those members of the public who are not abiding by the lockdown rules as this will mean the situation will last even longer.

Context:
I am concerned that I will be unable to get the supplies I need from the supermarket and with the current restrictions of being unable to go with someone else my anxiety is becoming a problem as I can struggle in public on my own, particularly during more difficult situations.
I am also concerned for my own health, as I have asthma so am somewhat more susceptible to more severe effects, but due to my young age people do not consider it that I might need help getting food and supplies.
I also feel like the government are not providing enough help, yet are still insisting these fairly strict restrictions.

Context: I am feeling more relaxed than normal as people are being vaccinated, myself included, and i am safe at home and able to protect myself - I am shielding. On the whole, numbers are reducing at the moment, but i am concerned about returning to normal life. mostly i worry about interacting with people again as I am anxious, i worry about my routine as I currently don't have one if im honest, and addressing my ever-increasing work load which I have been ignoring due to lack of motivation is worrying me. I started a new job in the pandemic so haven't met colleagues yet and it is hard to gauge expectations over email

Context: I feel very tired and exhausted from the current covid-19 situation as it has been going on for a year now. I still feel very anxious about the uncertainty of the future and the months and year to come. I also feel angry that the government has not done more to support the people that need it during the pandemic. I also feel a strong longing and desire to finally do normal things again like seeing/visiting friends and family once covid-19 restrictions are lifted. I want to return to normality without having the constant worry of covid.

Context: Missing my family who I have not seen in 16 months as they stay far away. This is affecting my mental health. But also enjoying more time with my 5 year old son. Upset at the things he can't do that he loves such as swimming and soft play but he is enjoying more time outdoors riding his bike going to the park etc. Worried about catching covid even though I have had the vaccine as I am a key worker and could pass it onto vulnerable people I support if I did not have symptoms. Looking forward to doing simple things like meeting friends for lunch. There are pros and cons to the lockdown

Context:
Constantly worried about it all. Also extremely fed up and depressed with the whole situation.  There must be more to the whole scenario and situation than this. The government are useless and do not know what they are doing when it comes to the corona virus situation which is absolutely diabolical. I am absolutely livid with the whole situation.
I would like to end this with saying that the world has gone absolutely mad. People are so inconsiderate and they do not give any support for anyone else.

Context: While still generally anxious about the situation, at this very moment I feel relatively calm. I have been very up and down during lockdown and can go from feeling OK in the morning to very worried, sad or anxious by the afternoon. I read about some nurses and a surgeon who died this morning and that made me feel really sad and worried for staff that are on the front line. I have periods of extreme worry about older relatives but don't worry so much about me or my husband getting it. I have been angry about people who are flouting the rules. I find the whole thing very surreal.

Context:
Im not so worried that i will get the virus my big worry is that as a sufferer of borderline personality disorder, dissociative identity disorder, anxiety and depression and being confined to a small room im cut off from my support network and fear i will never recover from the mental cost. I do have a few friends that are immundo suppressed but they are completely isolating so im not really worried about them.
I feel on the whole as a country we will get through the crisis eventually and recover from its effects eventually.

Context: I feel concerned about the lack of knowledge and unknown about the virus. I worry that someone I know might get very poorly and I’m stressed out with my job as a key worker. I’m worried that my daughter is still attending school due to my job. I’m also worried about the financial impacts that this could have on my work, as well as my family and friends. Particularly those that are self employed. my stress levels have reduced in the last week compared to how they were previously. I’m enjoying spending time indoors with my family but it is hard to explain the current situation to my 5 year old & she keeps asking me when the virus is going to go away. I’m disappointed that my auntie who lives in Norway hasn’t been able to come visit but most importantly I want everyone to stay safe.

Context: it's getting better but we're now over a year into this and a lot of things haven't really changed. i understand lockdown is important but it's still difficult to have motivation to do anything when the country is essentially turned off at the mains. Isolation is hard to deal with over a long period of time and things you'd like to do but arent allowed to do is frustrating. I'm very much looking forward to when things get back to normal or close to what once was the norm. I also hope a lot of lessons were learnt from this. I feel like we could have avoided such a long time in lockdown if things were done differently at the start.

Context: The unknown of it all is quite disconcerting and I really miss seeing my loved ones which has led me to feel more down than I usually would. I also have a loved one in the high risk group leading to greater worry. I do feel very fortunate though as I have a lovely garden to get some fresh air in an outside space and I'm making good use of online contact which punctuates the days and weeks with some valuable communication. I'm fairly productive at home and getting a range of tasks done, so feeling a reasonable sense of purpose and enjoying a short walk in my local area most days.

Context: I am concerned for the vulnerable people in my family and local community and about how long it will last. I am proud and happy about the sefless work that many people have put into keeping people safe. I am anxious about the affect social distancing will have on people and that isolation will cause alot of sadness, Not being able to go out is putting stress on me and my partner as we do not have a lot of space so we are getting on each others nerves more than normal. this is a few sentences I dont now what else you want?

Context: In the country where I live the government have set out a plan for the next few months as to how we will ease out of lockdown which I feel is unrealistic. I am concerned about the potential uproar if the government does not stick to this but more concerned about another potential spike in cases if they do decide to go ahead with the plan. I do not believe the vaccine will be as effective as people are hoping - I am hopeful that it will bring us positive results and believe everyone should be vaccinated but I don't think it should mean we try to rush back to normal life too soon.


Context: Im feeling a combination of anxiety and fear for my loved ones. Im also angry that reckless people allowed this to happen to spread in the way that it has. Im also annoyed that I had to cancel my holiday and will spend my 40th birthday in lockdown, though I feel guilty by being annoyed by such a trivial thing. Im angry that China have reopened the wet markets even this is likely to have been the source of the virus. Im also worried that governments will push through all manner of draconian measures on the back of this once things calm down.

Context:
just want it to be over with so can start seeing live music again and meeting up on dates with guys!
my mental health has been suffering a lot recently as I have Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as other things and its bringing me down being isolated, alone and having rules forced upon me.
masks are getting annoying again and people dont seem to be distancing as much, so i think others feel the same as me

Context:
i feel anxious as we dont now what is going on, as well as that, lockdown is mentally draining and i want it to all go back to how it was previously. i also feel anger to the people that arent following the lockdown rules as the quicker they follow the faster were out of it all hopefully. i also miss my friends :( but this experience also allowed me to discover my old passions once again. And has allowed me to get closer with my family even though its starting to be annoying. but it has also taught me that i am very fortunate as to where i live who i lve with etc  because for some, this time is horrible

idk if this is the end of the survey but stay safe and stay indoors :)

Context: I am concerned about how the UK government is dealing with things.  They do not inspire confidence. They have been slow to respond, have got things wrong, didn't take it seriously early enough, etc. I have no confidence in them.  I'm quite enjoying lockdown though as I have so much more time and have been able to jobs around the house and the garden which is nice. I feel more in control at home, but am concerned when I venture out because other people are more unpredicable and the government hasn't locked down enough so the disease is still spreading.

Context:
I am anxious about the relaxing of restrictions, which were announced by the UK government a few weeks ago, particularly because they seem to be very quick and people are planning large events as if the past year hasn't happened. I'm scared that we will end up back in lockdown over winter because everything is thrown out of the window for the summer.
Since last taking the survey a number of family members have had coronavirus and been very ill and I am still very cautious when I leave the house, which is having an impact on my mental health.

Context:
I am hoping that the rate doesnt go up as soon as the children go back to school. I am worried that they will see that the vaccine doesnt work as well as they think it does. I am not sure how long it will be until I am prepared to go back to the life I had before as I am still scared of catching covid.
There will be another lockdown son. They keep lifting measures too soon. They listen to the public instead of us listenijg to them. Other countries are much more strict and getting better results. We should have a full tough lockdown.

Context:
It makes me feel ibcredibly ubcertain about the future, both job, health and relationship wise.

My job has been paying me 60% less for the coming months, I feel unsafe going outside and feel a little stuck inside.

Overall I am very anxious and afraid of what will happen as I have just read there are over a million cases worldwide now, with 69 thousand deaths.

The UK seems to be doing as much as they can, but I don't think this is enough, there should be a lockdown happening to keep this from spreading as soon aa possible.

Context: I feel a bit anxious about the Coronavirus situation because I'm worried about older members of the family such as my mother who is nearly 90.  I'm happy about the lock down to reduce the likelihood of infection.  I don't think it is too much of a hassle if it works.  I have been a bit obsessive with the news - I've even watched the Orange Oaf's update from the USA on the BBC website when he shows what a ghastly human being he is. I do get irritated with stories of people visiting the beach, etc. on the weekends.

Context: I’m very anxious about the current situation. I want to see if the lockdown has had any effect in reducing the number of cases and deaths, but don’t want to get my hopes up yet. It isn’t clear if the day on day reductions will lead to any actual trend, and I’m not sure when we would expect to know if the measures have worked. I think that people are getting fed up with the lockdown and there will be increasing civil disorder if the situation doesn’t seem to be improving. On the other hand, I’m truly horrified by the authoritarian streak that has been revealed in many people, and am disgusted at the way that rather than promoting community understanding some individuals are calling for people to be shot in the street for going for a walk. I’m looking forward to when I don’t have to work from home any more and I can do normal things like see my sister and my mum, and my friends.

Context:
I feel anxious and concerned now that the first two weeks of full isolation have ended. The newness has worn off and I now worry about how myself and society will proceed to cope with what may be months more of isolation and suspended life. I worry that there's no end in sight and that there will continue to be many more deaths and potentially disastrous consequences for the economy and employment.

Having to continue to work in an already stressful job is concerning to me, as I worry about what long-term effects this will have on my mental health. If there was an endpoint to this, then I might be able to grit my teeth and get through it. But with the unknown that this may go on for months or the rest of 2020, it's hard to live in that unknown and perpetually stressed state of mind.

Context: Mainly, I feel worried at the moment.  Worried about how long the outbreak will last, and the associated health risks for myself,  my family and friends.  Also i am worried about the economy and personally,  my own job security.  The longer this situation continues,  the more worrying it is, as I think the economic impact will take longer to recover from. For example,  it it continues for the next three to six months, I think that it will take the country and the economy at least as long again to fully recover from it.

Context: I feel as though I am experiencing Deja vu. we have been in this exact position before with everything opening up far too quickly, and the persistence of the new variants run a very real risk of rendering the vaccines at least less effective, if not completely useless. I currently have the virus, and although I have been very lucky to only experience mild symptoms I'm so angry that I contracted it in spite of only leaving the house to shop for groceries or to go for a walk by myself in over 3 months. Watching people continue to flout the rules and not get the disease is infuriating while I 'did everything right' and still wound up getting it.

Context: I feel uncertain. There is the potential for things to be much worse if people don't follow guidelines and guidance. I expect I will feel even more negative if and when someone I personally know becomes affected. I like to go on my daily exercise and I will be disappointed if this is taken from me due to the ignorance and arrogance of others. I watch each day's briefing and keep up with the daily figures but I try not to look too much into things as it just makes me more anxious. I feel for people who have less stable jobs than myself (or who are unable to work from home) as they will suffer more severe financial consequences than I. I am lucky that I have a supportive family to support me in these times even though I am sad I am unable to see my girlfriend.

Context: I feel let down by my employers who are failing to provide sufficient PPE. I am a Police Officer, so don't have the option to stay at home. I feel nervous that I will contract the virus and bring it home to my pregnant wife and child. I am fed up of not being able to see my wider family, and I am fed up at not being able to do the things I normally enjoy doing, like training at the gym, and meeting friends. I feel hatred toward those who flout the rules and think that they can carry on as normal.

Context: I do not find the isolation difficult. I am one of those people that does not mind my own company. It won't last forever. I do like to sit outside a cafe and watch the world go by, but I can wait. I worry about my partner who goes out to work every day in a nursing home. He has diabetes and has had angina. Fingers crossed. We have Mums, both aged 92. They are staying in of course. Getting an online grocery shop is the most frustrating aspect. But I usually get there in the end. I just wish people would obey the rules and then we might get through this quicker. All in all, it's something we just have to get through.

Context: I had a vaccination this week and I fell less anxious about coronavirus.  Overall, 2 days after the vaccination, I don’t feel well; my arm hurts and I have experienced head ache all day.  I will isolate for a further 3 weeks until I feel more secure.  I am totally fed up with being in lockdown.  I miss my family and there is little joy in life. The biggest part of my day leaves me suffering acute boredom, I haven’t enough to do and I tend to snack far too much.  I feel more hopeful for life after lockdown and feel the government has produced a sensible road map out of this situation.

Context: I am concerned for my family members and more vulnerable people I know, less concerned for myself. I know that I am lucky being able to work from home. I am concerned about what this will do to the NHS. I am finding the lockdown fine but concerned if daily exercise is stopped this may no longer be the case. I am very annoyed at those who are constantly flouting the rules. A few people not following the rules means that the whole country will have to suffer. Seeing people sat in parks etc is very annoying and I am glad the police are taking it seriously.

Context:
At the moment there are feelings of frustration and anxiety.
Frustration because there are many things that I am unable to do, and have not been able to do for  long time. When it is possible to do these things, everyone else will be doing them as well, which will make those activities less, or even unenjoyable!
Anxiety is about people being given permission not to take precautions anymore and therefore acting dangerous and cavalier ways.
I also worry for the young children who have been in ""lockdown"" for as long as they can remember, I am not sure what this will do to their brains.

Context: i feel very worried , if a family member was to catch the virus i would be upset .it is a scary time .life is at a standstill at the moment life is not normal and everything is worrying. i worry about the effect it is having longterm on childrens education and social activities. the elderely have been isolated from familiy members for such a long time in care homes and there own homes. it is going to affect a lot of peoples mental health in the long term       the economy is going to take a long time to recover maybe a lifetime of recovery

Context:
Right now, I am quite angry. Angry at the government for the catastrophic failures which have caused untold suffering. Angry at 'people', I'm the one who gets disgusted looks for distancing around groups of older people gathered on town benches having a good old natter, whilst my husband is shielding. Angry at parents who think it's now OK to gather around the streets after school to have chat, blocking both routes away from the school. Mostly I'm angry at society... not ONCE have I seen examples of patience of others, understanding or a shred of decency, to be honest. I've been sworn at, shouted at, and on one occasion almost assaulted- all for following the rules.
I have lost my faith in humanity.

Context: I feel very anxious, not being able to do anything with my 2 children makes it that much worse. I feel stressed and I wish people would follow the guidelines, it is very frustrating. I am glad that none of my family have caught the virus so far but it is so scary that they could still possibly get it having to do daily things like walking their dogs, shopping for essentials etc. Although I am really angered and upset that I cannot visit any of my family due to the pandemic. It is very isolating and lonely having to stay in. I hope that this will end soon so we can go back to enjoying the world around us.

Context: I feel anxious about going to the supermarket to get food. At the supermarket I feel on edge and hurried. I fee angry with people who are not following the “stay at home unless necessary to leave the house” advice, it is very frustrating to watch social media headlines about these people. I do feel great sadness about the current situation and for families who have lost their loved ones. I feeL admiration for the NHS staff and key workers who are giving everything they have to save lives and support those saving life’s. However I do enjoy making the most of being at home with my child spending quality time together.

Context:
I'm anxious for myself and my family.  I worry that if one were to contract this they or I would be all alone with no one around us for support and comfort.

I'm angry that this was allowed to happen.  I feel better measures should have been put in place to prevent this.

I worry that if/when things 'get back to normal' that it could happen again!

Being at home all the time is becoming difficult.  My 7 year old son hasn't left the house for a few weeks now and I feel for him not being able to go to school, see his friends and play.

Context: It’s been three weeks since the lockdown now and my feelings were first despair and extreme anxiety about being in contact with an infected person with corona virus and also worrying about family members who don’t live with me but have significant health problems. This week I’m feeling very apprehensive about even going out to the shops so I’m staying in and haven’t left my flat in 14 days. I feel sad as I haven’t in that time seen anyone, I feel isolated but trying to keep myself busy in this current situation. I also feel bored and depressed at the prospect of not having a job when this is all over, not being able to currently pay my rent, council tax and electricity bills that are late already. I’m not so worried myself about catching this bug as I’m healthy,

Context:
I have had a good day homeworking (no homeschooling due to the Easter break, although still taking care of my children) and am getting the hang of this now. I deliberately did not watch today's briefing, although I did receive my ""Boris"" letter today. I just feel I need regular mental health breaks from the news to lessen my anxiety, and keep me productive in my roles at home, and work. I feel much better for it.

So today I feel more relaxed, less stressed, more acclimaticised, and safe and well in my home with my children.

Context: I feel worried and anxious, more for family and friends than myself. I would feel very helpless if I couldn’t be there for them. I worry for the front line staff doing a difficult job. I get angry at the business’s refusing to close as they sell a couple of tools therefore count themselves as hardware for example, putting profits before staff. I am angry at the minority of people who are risking the liberties of the majority and annoyed that the government is refusing to ban outdoor activities when that maybe the only way. I am also worried every time I go the the supermarket and take every precaution I can to prevent infection but as an asthmatic I am slowly getting paranoid about it. I know this is going to take a long time to resolve but I worry about just how long this will take and what our lives will look like afterwards.

Context: I feel very apprehensive about my future at this current time. I am currently furloughed from my work and don't frankly know if I will have a job to go back to, this in turn increases my anxiety over money, paying for things etc. The actual virus itself whilst being the cause of these issues seems to be the least serious of them at this time. I am complying with the government instructions by not going out unnecessarily but when you see people flagrantly ignoring the distancing rules it makes me angry because they will be the reason for this continuing longer.

Context: I feel this is an abomination, and i am very displeased i cannot see my friends and family. I feel very saddened by the world falling apart. I feel very lonely and anxious about the whole situation and wish we knew what was happening next as it is unknown. I am back on my medication due to the anxiety it has caused me and fear for my family and loved ones. I really hope for a resolution to happen as i miss the humanity and way everyone was together, i miss human contact and second guessing what we all will be doing in months to come

Context: I feel very anxious about what is going on and I miss seeing my family. I am worried that friends and members of my family may catch Coronavirus - especially the people most vulnerable and those people who are key workers. I don’t feel confident that the government have this under control. I hope people are taking the lockdown seriously and are staying at home. I am looking forward to this being over. One positive is that I am glad I can spend more time at home with my immediate family and feel lucky in that respect.

Context: i feel slightly relaxed, i have more time, but also more anxious bout the virus. i feel like it being dealt with in a good manner but it will still continue to get worse before it gets better. i feel scared as i live with an essental worker and we may be all at risk. although i do believe the government and society will come together and we will all defeat this together, im confident in this. i feel slight boredom being cooped up at the moment however, im running out of things to do and feel like im going insane

Context:
I feel incredibly hopeless. As a single person who is around an age when they really should be finding someone, it feels like wasted time. People who are in relationships and married at least have someone they can confide in during this situation.

I wake up with a sense of resignation, knowing that I won't see anyone or do anything interesting. One of the only good things is that I can work from home and for me this is so much better. I don't have to worry about commuting, so I don't waste that extra time and money. I can now focus on hobbies such as learning languages.

Context: I feel quite anxious and angry about the corona situation at the moment. It seems that it is getting worse over time and i'm afraid the economy will be severely effected resulting in jobs lost. I feel somewhat angry and disgusted at the people who choose to break lockdown rules and go outside in public in big groups not caring about the health and wellbeing of others and potentially spreading the virus making this whole situation last longer, the fact that they feel that because they are not likely be affected by the virus or in danger of it they can go outside is very selfish because it still spreads to those around them that are at risk.


Context:
Worrying tImes as cannot see family. Some famIly members do not have the Internet and therefore are stranded and unable to keep in touch.
Scared of losing not only elderly family but also any family member or friend.  This is taking so many lives.
Anxiety is sky high. Currently working from home but fearful of even leaving the house.  Scared of going near people, or people even getting close. Afraid of touching anything outside the house.  Neighbours have been amazing by going shopping for us, but even the fear of cleaning the food packaging is hitting me, not knowing how many people have actually touched the packaging.
 Fearing loss of job and money.
Everybody fearful of current situation.

Context: I feel quite anxious and unsure of myself during this whole situation. As a university student I feel the government hasn’t done enough to put measures in place to help us finish our courses so many of us are unsure as to what is going to happen. I also feel that not everybody understands how serious this situation is despite schools being closed and only essential services being open and continuing to run. It makes me angry that people are risking the lives of vulnerable and elderly people just so they can try and continue their lives as normal, which makes the quarantining that everybody else is doing obsolete.

Context: I am very worried that things are going to be opened way to quickly and way too soon and having had my father due from covid 2 months ago I don’t want other families to have to go through the same grief process. People are thinking that the virus is finished and are already starting to break the guidelines and the children going back to school will only spread the virus again and as not enough people are vaccinated it will cause sadly further deaths. We should wait as much as possible before opening to preserve lives. Borders should be fully closed to prevent more variants coming into the country and there should be no exemptions to the guidelines at all and any people not complying should suffer the highest penalties.

Context:
I feel pretty worried about the situation at the moment- mostly because my job doesn't feel secure. My employer advised us all today that we might be at risk of job losses. We have already had our hours and our salary cut by 20%. I'm worried I could lose my job and what would happen if I did lose it.

I also feel sad because a relative passed away and I am not able to fly to my hometown to be with my family. My grandma is also is hospital and my mum has been made redundant so I wish I could see them to support them.

I have fear about any of my relatives getting this virus, and about catching it myself.

I also feel concerned about the future and hate not having any visibility on how long this will all go on for. It makes me anxious not being able to go about my daily life as normal.

Context:
I'm pleased that no-one close to me has been badly affected by Covid. I'm now anxious that the promised vaccinations are forthcoming, both for myself and for my family. I am sure that issues with the economy will sort themselves out, even if this takes time. I am concerned about reports of a third wave being seen in Eastern / Central Europe, and wonder / hope that the vaccines will prove to be adequate if / when a third wave comes to the UK.
I am curious if we will ever find out who was awarded a contract by the government during the crisis, and if all public money spent will be accounted for.

Context:
I am more worried about the lasting effects to society and the economy than I am about catching the Corona virus.
I am getting used to the new way of life and am happy staying home with my family. We have a garden and safe jobs and everything we need. I'm worried for people who don't have the same luxuries.
My kids are out of school and need things as a result of that. I'm stressed but trying my best to make sure we have everything we need.
I'm tired of selfish people who don't follow the rules. I have told s lot of people off.

Context:
I feel sad that our freedoms are curtailed, but also know it's for the best long term.  I feel that all the working from home and changes to living standards might help to slightly reform our society for the better when this is done - I look forward to that happening.  I also think the world is realising (as a result of the virus) that we share the planet with each other and with nature, in particular I'm loving how nature is reappearing in places all over the world.  I try and look forward to events I have planned further down the year - but remain nervous that these might also get cancelled each passing week.  I miss my friends and social experiences - especially heading out together and going for runs together.

I support our governments approach - appreciating they've had a very tough line to tread between economic collapse and public health.  It's economic collapse that actually worries me more than the virus itself - that will last far longer than a few months of lockdown!!!  If that can be averted, potentially at the cost of a marginally worse public health outcome, I feel the country would be happier on the whole in the long run.  (Sorry that's a bit of an extreme view I know!)

Context: The corona situation is very worrying. Personally I have underlying medical conditions which puts me at greater risk. I am however a key worker and while can work from home to some extent, my risks are increased by my job. As such my anxiety is high whenever I am forced to leave home for work. I believe a vaccine is months away and will have to live with this fear for a long time. See8ng all the deaths on tv is very upsetting so I try to avoid the news as muc( as possible. Seeing idiots ignoring the guidelines is also a source of extreme frustration.

Context: i just feel it is all over the place things changing all the time and not to sure what to do . i live in a small county and when going for walks and stuff have to leave it to find nice places but according to rules that isnt allowed and never nowing what to do rights and wrongs. it all just effects my mental states had alot of problems with depression over the last year and with getting layed off right at the start due to being a temp worker its been a very hard and pressing year. really worryied about the future and wheather i can get a job at the end of this im in a very bad area already for this and feeling more like we are heading towards some Judge Dreadd sort of world

Context: At the moment I would say i have a level of anxiety and fear as I am a key worker. Anxious about going to work and possibly catching the virus and fearful i may pass it on if caught to family members. I wish people generally would take the situaton more seriously and follow the government guidelines. On my travels to work i see numerous people out and about, far too many to make the environment safe for everybody.  The situation in supermarkets is somewhat better than in recent weeks, however deliveries are very scarce and understandably for vulnerable people only. However this means that more people who are not classed as vulnerable are descending on supermarkets which is not ideal and i have seen numerous queues to get in, where people are not practising social distancing.

Context: I'm feeling a little more positive about things now that the rates are coming down and we're getting closer to getting back to something similar to normal. I'm anxious about the vaccines as I worry that they haven't had long enough to be tested properly and also that people seem to think it's a miracle cure and they can carry on as normal once they've had it, when this simply isn't the case. I'm also a little angry that some people don't seem to treat the situation seriously and don't follow guidelines and are therefore putting other people at risk

Context: Very anxious and what is going to happen, when we we are going to be let our, when can I see my family again.  I have a young boy who is missing out on alot of things, learning new things and exploring new places he is really struggling with staying in, staying in a flat with no garden and only go for a walk once a day. He just does not understand, he doesnt undetanad that hes now allowed out. He is stressed anxious not sleeping properly because he doesnt get any fresh air or enough stimulation. I'm anxious he will get it or I will and then what will happen

Context: There is a lot of misinformation in social media and people believe it which is very frustrating, if people were more educated and properly understood and didn't believe this false information we would be in a much better position. The stay home guidance is effective in some areas but there are too many people flouting this for reasons not defined as exceptions and just leading their normal lives without realising they are going to make this worse for everyone with their selfish behaviour. I am concerned as I am severe risk if I catch COVID-19 and I am therefore taking all precautions I have to but simple things like getting an online delivery is challenging, supermarkets still say I haven't been recognised as vulnerable even though I have had letters and texts saying I am. I understand this is unprecedented but I do feel it could still be handled better.

Context: I feel that the World as we know it is going to be a different place for a short time.  I feel that over a space of time it will just be as it was before the Global Pandemic..  People will forget about the Community effort, sacrifices by front line staff and the importance of identified key workers as life gets back to normal for the majority.  It will be like the collected sorrow when Diana died but long forgotten now except by a few.  It has been good to watch the mighty scrutinised by the Country and found wanting and to stand and clap for those previously ignored.

Context: I am feeling very anxious and unsafe. I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I don't know if I will still have my job or not. I am worried if I am going to be able to pay for my rent and groceries in the upcoming months. I am axious and worried about how long will it take to everything go back to normal, if it ever will. I am scared about my older members of family, how they are going to survive. I am stressed when I will be able to visit my family abroad and how they will manage to live their lives.

Context: Quite anxious about returning back to work as a teacher. Hard to social distance in school and in contact with hundreds of students everyday. Disappointed with how the government have handled lockdown and the pandemic. I am also so used to life as it is now that I don’t know how easily it will be to adjust and go back to normal life when restrictions are lifted. I feel sad about the situation but also anxious about the future. I have not yet found a permanent teaching role due to less jobs being advertised possibly due to the covid-19 pandemic

Context: I feel very anxious. I am in an at risk group and I can't leave my house for 12 weeks. I can't see my family and miss them terribly. It just feels at the moment that this is never going to end and the people still going out, sunbathing etc aren't helping and are making me angry. Above all, I just need to make sure that I don't get it as this could end up killing me. It gets more worrying every day with all of the deaths being announced. I am angry with China for causing this mess in the first place.

Context: I'm still really concerned about covid. So much has happened this last year and so much loss.  Covid is terrifying.  I'm not in the first 9 categories and not sure when I will get the first vaccine. Until then I feel exposed. I rarely go out but my son is due back at school next week and I cannot keep him off for his sake.  I think if I catch covid I will get really ill and worry I will leave my children with no mother.  New variants worry me greatly and there have been some found in nearby postcodes to mine.  It feels like we are so close yet so far and have been through so much.

Context:
I feel pretty depressed and my mood is low due to having to spend so much time cooped up at home.

However I also feel a desire to help and play my part, and a sort of 'Blitz Spirit' that this is something we must all face together and get through. I worry for those close to me who are vulnerable to the virus, but accept that there is very little I can do directly to help them.

I do feel a sense of anger and resentment at the irresponsibility of China, in so much as they create the perfect conditions for pathogens to transfer from animals to humans by eating bushmeat, and meat from unhygienic sources, and process and sell this meat in unsafe conditions such as wet markets. On top of this, the CCP have repeatedly and deliberately mislead the world and their own people about the number and rate of infections and deaths.

Context: I feel that there is a lot of unknowns which is contributing to people’s anxiety. I feel that the government are not in a position to answer many of these unknowns which is a contributing factor to anxieties. I am personally feeling very unmotivated in my day to day living. I feel it is difficult to maintain a routine with changes to work patterns etc which is having an impact on my mental health. I do not personally feel at high risk if I was the get coronavirus but I feel many people who are in the high risk category are being complacent in their daily actions which could result in them becoming seriously ill.

Context: Anxiously waiting for my mum to be vaccinated. Once she has been vaccinated I will feel relaxed and hopeful for the easing of restrictions in the coming months where I begin meeting up with friends and going to the pub again. My dad was vaccinated last week so I was happy then as it was the first time it felt like it was coming to an end. I am also anxious about catching myself from one of my six housemates as I am currently living in the house share and they are not following the rules very well

Context: I feel a lot of disgust and anger towards the government for its gross mishandling of the current situation. I fear that people will become complacent too soon with the children returning to schools despite the data showing that schools cause a massive rise in cases. I also feel slightly optimistic that we may be nearing a point where things can become more normal with the mass introduction of the vaccine, though I fear that if the June date isn't stuck to the country will become complacent on any measures.

Context: I have realised the complexity of the situation we are in. I am in a high risk health group and was in hospital A & E last year on a nebuliser because of my asthma. I am very fearful of how the virus would affect me were I to catch it. I am too scared to go into supermarkets but can't get a delivery slot so sourcing food from small local businesses is difficult and expensive. I feel that once restrictions are eased infections and deaths will continue over a prolonged period of time and as such I feel that there will be a serious risk to my health for the foreseeable future. As a lone parent of a young son who has autism this is extremely worrying.  I still don't think the majority of people appreciate how lengthy this battle is going to be.

Context:
I’m feeling fairly relaxed about it all. I’m not worried about potentially getting ill, but I am very annoyed about the UK government response. They have been so ineffective in their implementation of a lockdown, they have failed the NHS by not providing adequate PPE and also failed all of us by pursuing a path which does not require testing of suspected cases. You cannot track a pandemic if you don’t test everyone.
They have lied about ventilators, claiming that a company was making them specially despite the fact that companies which already made them were not ordered from.  They claimed not to get the memo from the EU regarding bulk buying of ventilators. I really hope that once this is all over, this sham government are held to account by everyone, including the media who just seemed to nod and agree with everything coming from Downing Street.

Context: I feel worried for my family. I feel anxious for my daughter whos has asd and cerebral palsy. Im scared that I cant keep my son safe from her anger. Im scared that theres nothing I cand o about any of this and just have to wait and hope we will all be ok I feel sad that people arent taking it seriously and are flouting the rules, I feel conflicted between needing to go out for a walk daily or my daughter will be climbing the walls making our house unsafe but knowing in order for the most people to survive that we need to be stricter. Im confused and scared and anxious constanlty

Context: I feel both drained and hopeful about the current coronavirus situation. It is draining hearing constant news of death and restrictions and trying to be positive when things didn’t seem to be improving. I am hopeful as we are starting to see a possible way to get nearer normality with the vaccine and warmer weather dampening the viruses efforts. It makes me feel happy just knowing there is a possibility of some freedoms returning. I feel anxious as my partner has recently been placed on furlough so we are dealing with financial implications and means that every set back with the route out of lockdown is even more upsetting and frustrating as it will start to have a financial impact on us in the near future. I am also grateful as my partner and I have been able to spend a lot more time together both with each other and with our child which has brought joy and memories we would otherwise not have had at the moment.


Context: I'm worried about what the next few weeks will look like. I live really far from my family and friends, so feel anxious about when I will get to see them again. I've also been feeling like I'm spending too much time pre-occupied with work and am actually working longer hours than I normally would. Although I really enjoy working remotely, I miss seeing my work colleagues in person and wish there were stronger policies at work that encouraged us to leave on time. There's also some pressure to accomplish something with this time and for it not to go to waste. I'm worried that I'll come out of this with nothing to show for it, which I know is silly because there's nothing I specifically need too accomplish.

Context:
I'm largely worried about the situation getting worse.  I'm worried about my mental health. I'm worried about my financial stability over the next few months.

I'm missing the people close to me like my mother and my boyfriend.  I miss my daily routines which involved going outside such as the gym and my regular shop.

I'm wondering how and when things will improve.  I'm also put off by others trying to use the situation to hurt others, like people stockpiling valuable resources or selling them for a profit to more vulnerable people.

I'm wondering how small to large businesses and the economy in general will look after it is all over.  There are many wineries near me and it would be a shame if they did not open their doors again.

Context:
At the minute I don't feel much about the situation, I avoid the news where possible. The vaccine programme is going well so that is what I'm focusing on, trying to have hope for the near future. I guess I have become numb to the number of deaths, it's too much to wrap my head around.
 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Context: My mood fluctuates with the current situation. Some days I feel I am coping. Other days I struggle to get myself dress and find life pointless. I worry this is something we aren’t able to fix. I worry for the future of my daughter and what impact this will have in her development. I worry for my nan and my mum and dad to have auto immune conditions. I am a SEN teacher and worry about my students and what will happen if some of them get coronavirus. Most of the time I just wish life would get back to normal. I miss family, I miss friends and I miss the structure of going to work.

Context:
I am worried about what is happening and how long we will be stuck in the current situation and how this will effect the future economy as well as jobs but i am also happy about the effect this lock down is having on the environment.
I am also anxious about my job and what is going to happen with it. I am also bored with not being able to see my friends and family, I have very little to do at weekends and time I'm not working
Finally am I a little scared that some of my family will get it and how it will effect them and if anyone I know will die.

Context: I feel helpless.  I feel that no one has the answer to this problem at the moment and am not sure when the solution will be found. Will it be effective? Will I  feel safe sending my kids to school in future? There is so much sadness. A kid dying and not being able to have his near and dear ones with him. It is heart-breaking. I am hoping an effective and safe vaccine can be found quickly and like other diseases like polio, Tuberculosis, measles etc., human kind will conquer it. It feels like the government has no strategy or answers yet. Even the prime minister has been hit by the virus and we as a nation appear to have insufficient resources. How can we be a developed nation and not have basic equipments needed by healthcare professionals.

Context:
Disgust at how the UK government has handled the corona situation the majority of the public has suffered as a result and it is completely frustrating that no actions has been undertaken over the outright lies.
There seems to be a cabal of people close to the government or within government that are shamelessly profiteering from the situation, ultimately at the cost of human lives.
There is hope in the vaccines but even then the UK Gov. are playing games with the supply to the home nations.
2022 before things get back to normal i think and even then the loss of life should not be forgotten.

Context:
I support the UK governments’ current strategy but wish that the lockdown had been implemented at least a week sooner. The warning signs from Italy and Spain were plain for all to see. I also don’t entirely believe the figures released from China and suspect the infection rates and overall death toll is far higher than reported.

Since the lockdown being implemented, it has really frustrated me to see some people still ignoring the rules (gathering in parks, on beaches etc.) but on the whole, the vast majority of the public are complying. I worry about the exit strategy and whether or not there will be another wave of infections before winter. Although research on vaccines has been swift (it’s been fantastic to see the world pulling together on this) it won’t really be able to help for at least 18 months.

Finally, I’m also extremely worried about the economy and how long the inevitable damage to that will last.

Context:
Anxiety about what’s to come and who it may affect.
Fear as people I know are key workers and they’re on the front line.
Worry as I am a teacher and am potentially exposed when I’m in school.
More anxiety about how schools will manage after everything’s back to normal.
Proud to be in a community that looks after each other as seen in our Facebook group and seeing signs in windows and on fences as I go out for my daily walk.
I am avoiding watching and reading the news as it makes me feel even more worry.
Everyday the situation is changing which is making me think we’ll look back at this time and think about how the world stopped for this period.

Context: I am still very worried about the covid situation in the UK. I welcome the easing of restrictions but feel that it is honestly still too early to do so. I live in an area which is very popular for holidays and we have an elderly population who are extremely at risk once travel is allowed again. I am worried about my children going back to school and the chance they could be exposed to the virus. There are still too many cases and deaths in my opinion for us to be able to relax the restrictions now.

Context:
I do feel for all the people who are sick and as I have asthma I am worried. I wish the government would sort out the PPE
 The front line staff Are in danger. I try not to dwell too much as I am self isolating and not putting myself or any one else in danger. I feel we arent being told the whole truth. I have never lived through anything like this in my lifetime. I miss my friends and family. I am very lucky to have a roof over my head and a garden. I am safe
 Unlike so many other people. The fact this is world wide is very worrying. One good thing is that if this keeps going we may view capitalism In a different way. And if it is true our environment mag benefit. I truly hope so

Context: I feel slight anxiety about how long this situation will go on for and the lasting impacts it will have on the economy and society as a whole. Slight fear about someone I know or myself catching the virus, although I still believe there is a relatively low chance in the area of infection in the area I am living in. Uncertainty about when and if things will go back to normal in terms of social distancing, self isolation and businesses/ organisations closing. Finally, optimistic that the virus is being effectively dealt with by governments around the world and the infection and death rates will begin to slow down and decrease in the next few weeks and months.

Context: On the one hand I feel we are close to returning to some sort of normality but I worry that something unexpected will happen such as a new strain tearing through the country. I'm fed up with lockdown but I also worry about the financial situation that may follow. We talk about returning to normal but I don't know what normal is going to be. After having been under lockdown for so long part of me is reluctant to rejoin the normal world. I worry that everything is going to be very expensive and the we are not going to be able to afford any luxuries in the future such as a foreign holiday and  that we will simply be working to survive.

Context: I am very anxious and apprehensive about the current Corona situation. I am angry about all the people choosing to blatantly ignore the lockdown and social distancing. I fear how many people will carry on getting infected by not adhering to the guidelines that have been set in place. At this point, I think the lockdown should be made stricter as some obviously are taking advantage of the hour of exercise outdoors each day. I fear for my own health as I am in the vulnerable category as I have DIabetes and take immunosuppressants.

Context:
im angry with the general population in regards as to how they have treated the situation, boris johnson definitely hasnt done the best job with covid but the public have not helped at all, they complain about lockdowns, break the rules knowing they shouldnt, and then complain when the lockdown gets worse because of THEIR actions

im fortunate enough to have not have had any family of mine be infected with covid or anyone i know and my job hasnt been affected too negatively either

im hoping borin johnson will be able to keep his word about lifting the restrictions on the set days aslong as the public can follow the rules

Context: I'm concerned and anxious about what may happen to certain family members if they were to be infected. I'm angry at the people who are spreading false information and conspiracy theories, angry at the people who aren't listening to social distancing requests and think it doesn't apply to them. If I'm giving up seeing my friends and family for weeks/months, how bloody dare they think it's acceptable to be having family parties? I'm worried about how we come out of this. What will be the effect on the economy? Jobs? The mental health of our children/adults? I'm stressed because I can't get a shopping delivery slot and don't want to have to risk myself or my husband going to a shop

Context: I’m still very worried about covid-19 at this moment in time, mainly for other members of my family. My wife is 27 weeks pregnant with twins so is classed as high risk, even before the virus came. Everyone in our house is classed as vulnerable so we are all very worried. Life has completely changed and we don’t know long for, so we are also concerned about mental health. My parents have underlying health conditions, so if they caught it then there’s a good chance it could get serious. There is also a worry for the economy and potential job losses.

Context: I still feel anxious about coronavirus. I generally feel calm but if someone gets too close or I see them taking a risky behaviour this is when I feel anxious. I also feel angry that this has happened and that our government have been incapable of dealing with it sooner. I never thought this would last for one year and it is still continuing. Conspiracy theorists also make me angry and frustrated. I feel very proud and grateful to all NHS staff and key workers who have risked their lives to help others during this time.

Context:
Mixed emotions as angry at people being idiots. Disappointed with government for not getting PPE sorted, I say disappointment as it’s the Torys so we all know who much they love cutting public services, so it’s no surprise we are in a mess.  Upset for all victims.  Anxiety about leaving the house to shop as no idea if you will be able to get what you need.
Huge anger towards bosses of big companies that furlough staff and then come begging for state handouts (Philip Green!).
Sad about social media as too many bullies on there

Context: I feel anxious that this is the beginning of the end in terms of social stability and that the escalating climate crisis means there will be constant and worsening challenges like this. I feel frustrated that people do not take it seriously and angry at government and vested interests who worry about profit first. I feel anxious that I might get ill and die and leave my daughter an orphan. I hope that the imminent loosening of restrictions might be positive, but fear it will be fleeting. I feel anxious that I'm not sure how my working life will be when working from home is less enforced.

Context: I'm tired and fed up of the unknowns. I feel some hope that things will get better but weary of close family members always focusing on the negatives and fear and predicting doom at every turn. Personally, I believe we are on the up and looking forward to getting out and about more and some semblance of new routines back this summer. I have some anxiety about that, especially as someone with mental health conditions who has just managed to get a long-standing eating disorder under control through a pretty robust routine of meal times and order to my day. I am a bit concerned about going back to a tiring commute too. I am worried for the economy for the long-term and believe we will be paying for the virus for decades, and that those who have continued to work throughout will not necessarily benefit.

Context: I feel out of control. Overwhelmed by this situation. Overwhelmed by news about it in social media and other information channels. I feel highly anxious. I feel if restrictions would be stricter, we could deal with the situation faster. I feel not well informed. I feel lost and scared. I'm worried. I'm slightly angry with people who still don't take this situation seriously. I'm tired and I think that it will be even worse. I have constant negative thoughts and I cannot focus on anything else. I am worrying about the future, about tomorrow, this week... I'm worried about next month and next few months.

Context:
I feel anxious, worried, stressed, and sad at the current situation.  Also some anger at those still going out in big groups etc. and putting others at risk.  I miss seeing my family and friends, and even miss the ugly office I usually work in!
It was my birthday yesterday which I think has been / will be the hardest day, as it would usually be spent with friends and family, and all the plans I'd made got cancelled.  Still, a lockdown is for the best if it means this is over sooner and more safely.

Context: it is very worrying at the moment and i am concerned for my family who are old and clinically extremely vulnerable. However with the vaccines coming and the rising temperature i am feeling hopeful for the summer. I am excited to get back to normal and to see friends again and go shopping and drinking and eating in restaurants and pubs and bars and even to go night clubbing when that is open again. i cannot wait to go on holiday too when we are finally allowed to travel abroad, so i can go exploring somewhere and get a nice tan.

Context: At the moment, I'm quite worried about the situation. I have Diabetes and asthma and I don't want to catch COVID-19. I'm annoyed that certain members of the population are not obeying the terms of the Lockdown and putting us at risk of catching the virus.  I'm also angry at our ineffective government for not acting sooner with the Lockdown and for not putting enough money into the NHS. Actually, I'm angrier about this than I thought I was. Hopefully in the next 10-14 days this whole thing will start to resolve itself.

Context: At this moment I have mixed feeling about the current coronavirus situation. On the one hand, I feel happy about how vaccinations are going as it's great to see the number of people being vaccinated. I feel like we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel but until I have had a vaccination I don't think I'm going to feel at ease about restrictions lifting and society returning to normal. So personally I still feel anxious and nervous about the current coronavirus situation.
