[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 263151, member: 33"] I too share your concerns about mental health. Over the years on various threads on this site I've discussed my battles with depression and past heavy drinking. I struggled a lot in the first month of the first lockdown and started drinking again for the first time in many years, thankfully this time not excessively, and I was able to pull back from allowing it to become too big a issue in my life. I'm now approaching a year without drinking but it could have been very different. So I really can relate to many of the mental health struggles that people are having due to lockdown. The issues regarding a lost generation go beyond the impact of Covid. Young graduates start their working lives with enormous amounts of debt because of crippling student loans caused by Tory increases to tuition fees. They can't afford to buy their own homes because of soaring house prices, not helped by government cuts to house building programmes and policies that have made it attractive for buy to let landlords and overseas buyers to snap up much of the available housing stock on the market which has pushed up the prices.
