We hope you are having a good week and are able to find some enjoyment and pleasure in the small things.
As the third week of lockdown continues, it may be a good time to think about how you are responding to the current unprecedented stresses we face. Herewith a diagram that might help you to think about this. It is very natural to be responding from the fear zone, at least some of the time if not most/all of the time. We are facing an enormous, invisible threat, and significant upheaval. The fear zone is a normal and adaptive place to be for survival. None of us have been here before and we are all afraid.
There is a great collection of mental health resources on:

Several of these may be helpful to you or others, especially if you find you are responding from the fear zone more often than you would like to.
Best wishes
