*Sending positive vibes*
I really sympathize. I've had several "wobbles" but I was suffering with anxiety before the virus was an issue. I can imagine that if all this were in a couple of years time I'd probably have more coping resources for the anxiety. However, I started therapy, had just talked about some very difficult things and then lockdown! So didn't exactly get to work them through. In that sense I'm certainly not coping with anxiety better than your average person. I might be doing a tiny bit better with depression as I have more experience there.
Pwrpuffgirl - anything specific making you break? I know some people who are really suffering from the social expectation they should be ok, or that other people are doing ok so it is their duty to be ok as well. My view is this is a scary global pandemic so it is totally natural people are struggling with that. I don't know your circumstances, but it might be very understandable. Are there any triggers you can identify that you know make it worse? Anything that helps, even just a little bit?
Feel free to PM me if that helps... I think you need a few more posts before you can do that. At the time of writing you are on 30, so more than half way to 50.
Good luck and good vibes. x
