I had a similar experience but I was still bothered by the government restrictions.
I was working remote before covid so daily life didn't change much.
But they also closed my gym, my kids' school, cafes and restaurant I used for fun and prevented me from travelling.
Sure, I'm lucky my job is safe, albeit I'm not as lucky as those who were furlough in the UK and got 80-90% of their paycheck without having to work for months.
Incidentally, I'll have to pay for this massive spend with an upcoming massive increase in taxes and delays to when I'll be able to withdraw my private pension.
Overall, not having childcare available and no fun didn't make me very happy and caused to lapse again into depression.
I stopped training for 6 months (Even though I bought a home gym), got fat, miserable and angry, had problems sleeping and burn out at work.
And I still count myself to be one of the lucky ones.
