Hello B Maff, it's not easy talking to people who you can't see, or perhaps that's what does make it easier, talking to people of all ages and who have had different experiences, but as you're young, working and then going home, you start to begin thinking 'what if', 'why don't I' or 'how can I' and with these questions circling your mind, you aren't able to do anything, so the next day arrives and off to work yo go, disappointed.
You mention 'live music', just curious if you play an instrument yourself and if so, what is it, and if I can mention that feeling unwell can make it socially difficult to find the people you want to associate with, not that the situation is against what you want to do, but unable to, only because your mood won't allow you to enjoy what used to before, hey if this is the case, it's not your fault, but would love to hear back from you.
You could contact Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 who have trained counsellors and help people up to the age of 25 years, and if possible can I suggest you visit your doctor, if they feel you need someone to talk to, then ask them about the mental health plan, this entitles you to 10 Medicare paid sessions per year, although due to this virus you maybe entitled to more sessions, the doctor will advise you on this.
Hope to hear back from you.
Geoff.
