I've wanted to work full-time from home for as long as I can remember. It took about a month in lockdown for me to realize I hated it.

Turns out, my mental health is much better when I have an office to go to. 1h20 in commute (round-trip), no privacy, tons of distractions, and still I'm happier when I get to leave the house to go to work.

I suspect it's mostly just a matter of getting out of the house. Those 4 walls get pretty oppressive after a while.

I, too, found myself working from bed. It was not an improvement, and ended up being the last step towards a crippling depression that wouldn't let me get out of bed in the first place.

So, for me at least, working from bed is awful. Ergonomically, emotionally, spiritually just f---ing draining.
