"Lockdown triggered panic attacks in my 18 year old, she is now on anxiety medication…"
"My 18 year old has been massively impacted by the lockdowns.
My child has experienced immense anxiety and many panic attacks...
"...so much so she has been prescribed with anxiety medication and is now in private therapy because of long wait lists.
The uncertainty of what has been happening has been extremely hard.
During Sep 20 and Dec 20 she developed anxiety and the panic attacks...
"She got behind in her school work and there seemed to be no understanding or help and support until I demanded it.
Her college course should have been exciting and interactive with lots of team work (Film course) but it has become tedious and a chore as it is now all written.
"She does long hours, all over Zoom. There is no respite from the screen.
She doesn’t sleep very well and is becoming mentally and physically exhausted.
Now with no exams she seems to be being allocated lots more work in order to gain the qualifications...
"I know my daughter is one of many students that is struggling."
Just one story shared with us, but we know it's the tip of the iceberg:

Lockdowns, and the govt's Campaign of Fear come with terrible costs, not least to our young people.
We believe the 'cure' is far worse than the disease.
There *is* an alternative.

"How can they do this to someone who has been a net contributor/higher rate tax payer into the system and never claimed a penny?
The fact that a government can do this with very little opposition is frightening, how would most of the population have coped in my position?
"How would they feel if they were left out?
We are certainly not all in this together.
Then they have the cheek to tell people to retrain, when all learning is virtual, how many years does that take...
"Since early last year we’ve all been bombarded with negative fear-mongering and propaganda from nearly every media platform, and more concerningly, from our own Govt.
How can such a psychological assault even be legal?
What must this be doing to our children?
"It is utterly grotesque!
None of the messaging has been supportive, positive or hopeful.
It is a constant diet of doom and gloom with no hope in sight.
I must say it feels very much by design and very sinister!
Why would a Conservative Govt want to scare the public so much?
"One must conclude, it is done to achieve compliance and acceptance of every freedom and liberty stripped from us.
It is disgraceful.
When news of a virus started to reach us, it never crossed my mind that the UK would entertain such a draconian idea as a national lockdown...
