I need structure to stay focused otherwise I’m the procrastinator king.

Killing me slowly mentally for sure. I transitioned to a new gig and it’s obviously been harder to build rapport that way. I’m also on a visa and given how shit the visa situation is, my time here might be cut short and I might not be able to get to where I want to before leaving. It sucks cause I spent way too long and way too much here with nothing to show for. Even though I came here with a clear goal, in light of everything that’s happened, I don’t even know if I want to do advertising anymore, so there’s that existential crisis. Sorry for the long rant 😔
That’s really tough, and I’m sorry to hear. Could you set up 15 min virtual chats with some of your coworkers to begin to get to know people better? I started a new role recently too, and found that having regular touchpoints with a few established folks has helped me get more integrated with the team as a whole

Anecdotally, working from home has been somewhat good for my mental health. I’m able to spend more time on my hobbies and hanging out with my husband. I find myself less anxious and frustrated with work since I’m already in the comforts of home.
But it’s not perfect. I worry I’m becoming TOO comfortable staying in my apartment and being socially distant; I don’t want it to turn into some sort of agoraphobia.
I hope you are all finding ways to stay healthy and optimistic, but if you aren’t, the fishbowl community is here for you.
I’m living at home still and I feel like I’m in a tunnel with no light at the end. I can’t move out because why would anymore move out right now? But none of my friends live near me and I can’t make new ones because we can’t go anywhere and it’s all very lonely!! Definitely having a rough time staying motivated
Are you in any neighborhood Facebook groups, or have you looked up any Facebook groups for podcasts you might listen to or would be in your age demo? I’ve found that there are groups of likeminded individuals who have found each other through these local groups and have started doing socially distant park meetups or playing games virtually on Friday nights, and they’ve been really welcoming to new faces. And the podcast/interest groups are still only online but have been really great in having an engaged sounding board and conversations on all sorts of things.
Also - are you able to get out and take walks around the same time each day? I’ve met a TON of my neighbors this way over the last few months, which has made us all feel less alone bc we stop and chat for a few mins when we see each other every few days
WFH has been great for my mental health thus far, and has allowed me to take a giant step back from prior commitments to go back to basics. I am grateful for this - it feels like my life is “right sizing” a bit, and it will be good to reassess what gets added back in long term.
That said, it’s tough - my friends complain that it’s so hard for them, but they are all married with kids, so they have social interaction and human touch on a daily basis. I can tell you exactly the last two times I’ve touched another human being - twice in six months. I am deeply grateful for my dog; I would be so lonely and sad without a companion.
I am struggling with workout motivation though - even though it’s easy to do at home, it’s been a struggle to muster the energy over these last few weeks, so I’ve been trying to focus on a clean diet in the meantime. Any tips are appreciated!

I had the same struggles with workouts/eating up until very recently! I find that doing simple body weight exercises (sit ups, squats, lunges) while watching TV (or other passive activities) is a nice happy medium. I try to have healthy snacks (carrots, pickles, berries) around too for when I’m a lazy snacker (or just got a bit high).
I’m living at my parents’ (roommates didn’t take social distancing seriously). I’m such an extrovert, and it’s horribly lonely. I’m always on my laptop/phone and I feel like I’m working around the clock. Watching my twenties slip away.
