I live alone and have loved the time not traveling but WFH has really started getting to me the past few weeks. On top of that, I got a series of bad news this week that really took a toll on my mental health (one has affected my ability to visit family), and I’ve never felt this alone in my life. I miss having an office to go to and see others in. Even started skipping workouts & cooking, both of which I love. Could use hugs and inspiration to get past this hump

OP, the first thing is to be kind to yourself.
Second, resting helps. (I had done the same as you a long time back. Kept myself too busy with office work)

Take a day or 2 off. Sleep, eat well, disconnect from other things for a while. Go for a long walk, sit in a park with coffee, may be take a book along if you like reading.
Declutter or reorganize your space, that helps sometimes in feeling better.

If not family, are you able to reach out to a close friend or acquaintance who will listen to you. Being heard to, also helps

Have you used your COVID or sick days? Maybe a mental health day could help!

I’m sorry you feel this way though. 2020 has been tough!

I’ve thought about it but honestly work has been such a good distraction. I’m worried idle time will make me get in my head :(

This. 👆I’m feeling the same way and I’m taking the day off tomorrow. I’m taking care of one personal thing and then making it completely unstructured. We’re all running from meeting to meeting. Structure is good but we all need a break. Take it before you break down. Hugs 🤗

Hi friends, Got two offers. One with: Humana(Remote)[Insurance based company]and another with Mastercard(Hybrid) (Ofallon, MO)-need to relocate after 6 months. Both are for Senior software Engineer. Humana- TC= 155K, Mastercard-TC=175. Which is a better option, as talk are going on that, recession will happen soon.
