Hi Heather11.

I understand your situation, I have been struggling with similar issues.
I work on trying to identify thinking distortions(biases in our way of thinking we carry around with us and use daily.) For sometimes, I find the motivation to go outside and get things done, but afterwards, I feel mentally exhausted from wearing my public mask.

Here are some links that might be helpful for you.
