Mental health: why we’re all operating on autopilot mode during our big ‘post-pandemic’ summer

After lockdown restrictions, cancelled holiday plans and postponed events, the summer of 2022 was tipped to be the best ever. Instead, we’re just about getting by and coasting through what is meant to be the summer of our lives while operating on autopilot.
Summer 2022 is officially in full swing and everything feels like it’s almost back to ‘normal’.
London’s pubs, bars and restaurants have gradually returned to pre-Covid levels of visitors, according to research from CGA and Wireless Social, and the prospect of warm weather means we can look forward to spending our weekends drinking cocktails at buzzy rooftop bars and dining alfresco with friends.
Annual events and festivals such as Glastonbury have returned in full force, allowing us to hop from stage to stage enjoying live music and cans of Kopparberg while dressed in our finest glittery festival garb. Meanwhile, dating app Badoo has even found that almost half of survey respondents said this summer “will be the busiest they’ve ever had” as delayed weddings, parties and holidays officially get back into full swing.
