High anxiety and depression

I’m struggling to find connections again post-COVID. It seems I lost many of the community activities I had before (book clubs, wine clubs, lost contact with acquaintances). I feel isolated sometimes because I still work remotely and many days the only people I talk to in person are my children and spouse. I’ve noticed my self-confidence is greatly diminished (I’m a little afraid of social situations) and I’m also distrustful of others in a way I never used to be.

Maria, I completely understand. My husband and I both went to motorcycle clubs prior to 2020 Covid. I was working and had a lot of interactions with people, but we never fully recovered from it.
I got Covid again in April although I had 3 vaccinations prior. My symptoms got even worse, I had more pain, short of breath, fatigue. So I retired early. My husband never recovered from the 2020 covid. I suddenly had little contact with my church, people as I am now home. I also have depression and anxiety around meeting new people. it is isolating.
Glad you found this group!
