I thought this challenge would capture people’s imaginations and help raise awareness of how being separated from family and friends in lockdown can affect your mental health. Whilst being away from my parents is quite normal for me, them being in lockdown caused me a lot of concern.

Putting anxiety to bed
mental health, but it hasn’t always been like this, I know for lots of people, especially young people, it can be really hard to get the right support at the right time.I can’t really pinpoint when I was aware that I wasn’t happy in myself. I had always struggled but I spent most of my time putting on a brave face and pretending I was fine. I was sent to boarding school aged seven. I am dyslexic, and my parents lived abroad. I don’t think they really knew what to do with me, and in the 1970s dyslexia wasn’t really known about. I think my dyslexia was a major part of my unhappiness. My daughter also has dyslexia, and together we celebrate it..

How to be a new dad in the pandemic
mental health, so my initial reaction to the surprising news we were expecting a second child was not the best. I will carry that regret with me for the rest of my life.Beyond my own selfishness, I had the usual worries I imagine most dads have when expecting: will the baby be healthy, will my wife be healthy? Covid-19 and Lockdown, however, brought many more new worries: will I be allowed to be there at the birth? If I’m not, how will my wife be feeling? How will she cope? What about my three-year-old son, Theo? If I can be there at the birth, who will look after him? Will we get COVID-19 and what will that mean? And a worry I never thought I’d ever have suddenly popped up on the way to the hospital...

Covid -19 has increased my pregnancy anxiety
I am 37 weeks pregnant and pretty scared. No point sugar coating it or beating around the bush – this is not how I envisaged my last few weeks of pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy and I have to admit that before becoming pregnant I was one of those people who thought that people exaggerated how grueling pregnancy is. But now my hands and feet are double the size, I have carpal tunnel, I can't sleep properly and generally feel awful! Add in the fact that my baby is going to be born in the middle of a global pandemic and the normal pregnancy worries and woes sky rocket.
