Sending lots of love to anyone anxiously waiting to hear about the implications of the new lockdown restrictions today.
I found the initial 3 months of lockdown enjoyable. The hard part hit when businesses were allowed to open again, as normality didn’t resume. The government handouts I’d received didn’t come close to covering a third of my monthly outgoings and work hasn’t picked up where it left off like I’d hoped it would due to wedding cancellations & reduced studio bookings. I’ve been blessed that I’ve had outdoor pet sessions to fall back on but this work usually makes up a 1/4 of the studio’s income.
I’ve no idea where today’s lockdown announcement will leave me, I’d held back on announcing this years Christmas sessions incase another lockdown meant I had to cancel them all 🤦🏼♀️
Just want anyone struggling to know that you’re not alone. People might look like they’re coping, but that doesn’t meant they are. For the first time in 8 years, I’m back on medication to treat anxiety. I never thought that day would come, but I also never thought I’d experience a worldwide pandemic.
Some of the depression & anxiety symptoms are as follows:

Isolation, loss, financial worries & lack of social support are the main reasons people commit su***de & the male su***de rate has hit a two-decade high. Covid has brought about these symptoms for the vast majority of the nation, some who haven’t had these feelings before.
If you are feeling like you’re not coping or are experiencing any of the above symptoms, please speak to your doctor about medication because it helps. Make sure your voice doesn’t go unheard because these feelings are temporary and life will get better ❤ @ Liverpool
