I have lived pretty much the whole year with restrictions. While most with mental health issues would find it difficult, lockdown actually played into my illness. Not having to go out, get dressed, shower, interaction with other people suited me just fine.
I spent my time, resting, eating, with my daughters and partner. I loved it.
It also helped me develop further as an artist. I worked hard on my pouring medium, trying new techniques. Understanding the consistency of paint, mixing colours. I grew as an artist, I improved. I would never have given myself all this time to explore. As a high functioning depressive and obsessive compulsive I would have devoted my time to cleaning.
Lockdown gave me time for me.
So if you have read to the end thank you.
