“Why am I terrified to go back to my busy life when lockdown ends?”
This is me all over. I’d lived in London for 10 years before moving to Brighton in January and for most of that time I’ve had plans earmarked for every night, usually three weeks in advance. For the last decade I’ve been the kind of person to stay in touch with friends from previous jobs, that friendly waitress at my favourite restaurant, old housemates, school friends and even friends’ friends.
I’m not alone in enjoying, and wanting to hold on to, the calm I’ve adjusted to in my lockdown existence. In fact, I’ve noticed this trend in friends who I would also consider to be on the burnout side of busy. In our texts and voice notes many of them have relayed the same sentiments, that they’re “terrified” of going back to normal life.
“Some of us have gone through many losses, whether that be the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one without being able to say goodbye or attend the funeral. This takes time for our mind and body to embrace and heal,” she says.
