Your feelings are completely valid. This is hard, and it's okay to acknowledge how hard it is. You had periods of struggling before because of what you have been through, so of course adding extra stress and isolation makes you feel worse.
I bet your therapist is glad to be able to support you. It seems like helper types takes solace in being able to do their jobs right now, rather than just feel totally powerless in what is a somewhat scary world.
I hope you are able to take care of yourself and give yourself space to feel however you are feeling about this. You don't have to be in the worst imaginable situation in order to be justified in feeling upset and overwhelmed.
