Hello @serg27 and welcome to the community Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself, I'm sorry to hear how things have become more of a challenge since the lockdowns.
I think this is something a lot of us can relate to, not having the opportunity to be active in our usual way before the pandemic, and it's certainly had an impact.
Have you been able to speak to your GP about the things your finding harder these days, or asked about support for your mental health?
I hope you enjoy spending time on the forum and getting to know everyone. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.0
