I have no problem with admitting that during the early stages of the Covid lockdowns here in the UK, I suffered massively with mental health issues. I was really unfortunate in that I was forced by some difficult circumstances to move halfway across the country one week into the first nationwide lockdown. I was isolated from family, friends, had poor mobile internet coverage (and no home internet for about two months due to issues with the property) and all of this combined led me down a dark path of reclusiveness and dark thoughts.

Thankfully, after a few months and starting a new job, I managed to snap myself out of it and recovered to the point where I wouldn't at this point consider myself to suffer from any lasting effects of the mental health issues I was experiencing at that time at all.
