Today I am feeling this emotion of disconnect.

I live with family, I am not alone. I work outside the home and see colleagues/the public every day.

In lockdown because I live with a vulnerable person we lived life to the guidance, when things opened up we were very cautious. We do go out but not like before - nothing is like before.

I have seen 3 friends socially since it was possible (over 3 months). Both my volunteer jobs stopped. I don't like video calls so never did that.

I feel disconnected and strange and sometimes I can distract with a book or drawing but sometimes I feel this leaden sadness inside.

How do you cope with this feeling?
