Students are facing an increase in mental health concerns due to the unknown, lack of support and information available. Students are worried about: Isolation, medical problems, mental health concerns, being away from home, being a carer, support for assignments/ projects, exams changes, project hand in dates (no face to face contact for support/workshops/drop in sessions), impact on international students and much more based on individual circumstances.

Living alone in my flat and haven't spoken to anyone in days. Hard to focus on my final project when my mental health is in the gutter and the uni has just gone silent.

I am 23 weeks pregnant with asthma so have been told not to leave the house for 12 weeks meaning I have no access to library resources and my dissertation will suffer because of this. We should have an extension.

This is a highly stressful time due to there being so much uncertainty around the Covid-19 virus. Also the lack of physical lectures and contact with supervisors etc puts students at a disadvantage to complete assignments to the best of their ability with the adequate amount of help they should require. This is because it is a lot harder to explain things and answer questions over email than it is in person

I’m feeling so overwhelmed with the situation, it feels impossible to stay on track. Sometimes I feel unable to work from all the anxiety, taking breaks helps but then I worry I am losing precious dissertation time and I feel worse again. I want to do myself proud in my finial year, I feel like I’m letting myself down and it’s out of my control ):

Feel very anxious about the unknown and lack of updates about what the final weeks of uni contain and what we as students should be doing. Very worried.
