For most of you, the dissolution of all boundaries — the melding of work and family, office and home, responsibilities and medical conditions — is causing anxiety to spike. Still, many of you are looking at the stay-at-home order through a positive lens.
. Battling the symptoms of these very real and menacing conditions is quickly becoming a daily preoccupation for many.For some, working from home — with all of the distractions, technologies, and problems associated with doing so — is a primary source of anxiety. “My inability to focus and be productive in this unstructured time is very stressful to me, and a source of guilt, anxiety and depression,” wrote one respondent.

Now it’s all jumbled together.
“It is extremely difficult for me to manage the unstructured time and consider how to teach my kids in addition to working from home and maintaining my household right now. I have tried to structure our days to help with this usual time, but it is not proving successful for myself or my son who also has ADHD. Trying to balance and manage all of my responsibilities causes me a lot of stress and anxiety.
“I feel such guilt about not having a clean house, now that I have time; about not being able to occupy and amuse my three children while I am working,” wrote one reader. “I feel guilt that I am struggling and unable to help them all with schoolwork at the same time.”
