Children and mental health

[76]

Am I the only one here who lost mental health during the lockdown because of staying at home with children? Never thought that I will ever appreciate daycare that much. So now I am dealing with mixed anxiety–depressive disorder and my whole life is a mess. The worst thing is that I can't work from home at all now. I just procrastinate the whole day and my productivity is as poor as it can ever get. If anyone is going through something similar, how do you guys cope with that?

You are not the only one. It's hard times. Try not to think outside of your place too much and enjoy the time with your family.

Yes, you are right! When the pandemic started I began to work remotely. In this case, I took a course on mental health from https://lifestance.com/blog/how-does-exe...al-health/ because I wanted to improve my skills and to clean my mind from the garbage. In some words, this is the best course, I finished with social media and other things which are useless for me. Now I think only about how to develop my personality and my capabilities to think faster and without limits. I can suggest it to everyone who is in depression or they can't develop to another level.

When I was working remotely, I was procrastinating the whole time. It was bad, other departments had to notify my supervisor that my tasks were not being completed in a timely manner. You will adjust but it will take time and a plan of action. I promised myself then on to procrastinate for only 6 hours of the 8 instead of all 8 hours. And slowly increased my work input until I was marginally working 1/2 of my shift. I hit my deadlines and some tasks were delayed but f--- it - I blamed it on corona. In the end I procrastinated until my work recalled all fo us back. 

Seek help but in the meantime, make an effort to hit important deadlines. Work a full 1-2 hours and slack off but be sure to put actual work.
