I feel depressed and experience severe mental trauma

I am a 19-year-old student studying outside my state, but due to this pandemic I am stuck at home and attending online classes. I do not get mental peace here – it was also one of the reasons for me to study outside. I used to suffer from depression after my sister’s suicide, but then I was okay after counselling, however, I still feel depressed and experience severe mental trauma. I do not have many friends. I want to talk to the friends that I have, but I do not feel like talking. I feel I do not matter in their lives. Please help.

This pandemic has displaced many of us. I can understand how difficult it must have been to lose someone close to you to suicide. You sought help and felt better, but the current situation is making you distressed. It would be better to seek help from your previous counsellor. I would also suggest contacting some of your close friends and trying to speak to them even if it feels difficult initially.
