Quarantine has been so bad for my mental health. My sister is back from college and life is so different with her here. I love her but she’s literally a bully and I feel manipulated by her all the time. I miss having the support of my friends and having the freedom to go out with them when I need an escape. I feel like I’ve just wasted a lot of time sitting around feeling bad for myself and others. Having anxiety, depression, and ADHD makes me anxious to get out and move and do something but I can’t and then I lay in bed all day. I just want everything to go back to normal and I just know it won’t be back to normal for a super long time which makes me sad.

You haven't wasted your time, and you are allowed to feel bad for yourself. Many things in your life have changed for the worse, and that is something that needs to be processed. You are allowed to give yourself time to feel…
