The Hopes and Fears
Surviving the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020
​
The Hopes and Fears is an autobiographical account of Helen's personal musings and experiences between March and July 2020, in the midst of Lockdown in the UK.
Initially, this was written as a personal journal, documenting Helen's emotions and feelings and the challenges faced throughout the initial Coronavirus Lockdown, and was never intended for publication.
There remains, however, such stigma attached to depression and mental health and wellbeing in the UK and therefore Helen now believes that it is important to share her experiences, not least to encourage others to accept that it is good to talk and depression is not something to be ashamed of.
