C-19: Trouble in Paradise

In my previous post I praised all the benefits of the global pandemic and general unrest that have left me safe and cozy in my ivory tower. However, I notice a dark cloud that has infiltrated my keep. Something about the isolation has changed me a little bit, perhaps rewired some brain patterns. I feel a little strange when I go out and see lots of strangers around. Being near them makes me feel a bit uneasy. My mind is sometimes covered in a fog, less common in the days before the outbreak, a gloom even. Sometimes it takes the form of a mental nausea, feeling somewhat sick of thoughts and their churn.  This occasionally happened before, but now I think it is more pronounced, more often. Sometimes I am stricken with a loneliness and realize there is no one to reach out to; I've already talked with everyone today or they are perhaps away now. I think that in some ways I don't just want this to last because I enjoy the benefits, but because I fear the return. I think it will be uncomfortable being around people again, having to interact with strangers. I also feel that this entire event has damped many of my ambitions and has further sunk my ill fated search for a significant other; things were not going well before, but now there is nothing at all. My failures feel sort of amplified by all of this. Sometimes I just want to get away, but it seems to be harder now. When things go back to "normal" will these problems go away? (likely not). Perhaps they are just my own problems exposed to myself by having more time to consider them.
