First, says psychologist Dr Martina Paglia, we need to recognise that as humans we have an innate fear of change and to register that we have been through something traumatic, so it’s completely understandable that we would have anxieties about the future.

Speaking to Stylist.co.uk, she says: “Human beings function well in a routine and fear change. Most of us feared the change quarantine would impose on our lives back in March, and now we fear going back to our normal lives. In addition to this, we’re still mourning the loss of our previous lives when going out to bars and restaurants was normal. Now, we may fear getting sick with Covid-19 and being outdoors may not feel as safe as staying indoors.”

She also explains that we need to register the impact of the last four months on our minds and bodies and remember that fear and anxiety are normal responses to what we’ve been through.

“Some of us have gone through many losses, whether that be the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one without being able to say goodbye or attend the funeral. This takes time for our mind and body to embrace and heal,” she says.

“Moreover, people in self-isolation for prolonged periods in tiny flats or sharing a bedroom may be especially vulnerable to developing PTSD during and after the outbreak,” she continues.

“Why am I terrified to go back to my busy life when lockdown ends?”
