I’m so much better off than most of you but the thought of another 6 months of isolation is making me feel like I’m losing my mind.
I feel jealous of friends who are getting out and about posting photos on Facebook of places I used to visit. (I no longer drive)
Our local ms group has had to cancel meetings once more and my social life revolved around them.
My husband scores high on the Covid scale and if he caught it would be very ill and probably die, so I daren’t risk catching it, in fact I had an infection a few weeks ago which has left me with weak core strength so I’m finding it difficult to stand up straight(( doing physio but it seems it will take a while before I can recover. So I don’t fancy a dose of Covid myself,
Sorry for the vent and wonder how others fancy going into lock down once more?
Yep this covid/lockdown carry on is a nightmare…and much more so for the poor souls and their family`s who have lost their battle with it.
I used to go to a few social groups who have closed due to lockdown. I get out once a week with a carer. We use masks and gloves and keep plenty of hand sanitiser at the ready.
Your case sounds like a very difficult one with your OH`s health.
There isnt a lot we can do, except be sensible and follow the rules.
We need a lockdown thread. Maybe you could start one, then anyone who wishes to avoid the subject, can do so.
Thanks for the reply Bouds, maybe we should start a thread, hoping it doesn’t come to a lock down again, I was feeling low this morning, the media is full of it once more. Will see how things go in the coming weeks. Taje care,
Hi this is really getting me down as I used to have a centre I would go to I’m looking for people to communicate with to help get through this tough time if any one would let to message me private or talk if that’s ok
To all of you not pleased with the lockdown, I am with you a 100%. I am at the top of high risk, so I try to be very careful. I have been Bi-Polar II all of my life so living with depression is not new but this new like of COVID-19 is on a different level. I still go out for doctors appointments, apothecary, and grocery shopping. I wear my mask going to and from my car, inside while driving and I get upset if I think someone is crowding my space that I must pass through. Just call me a nut that spent most of his life thing about death and now I am fighting like hell to stay alive. Strange how that works.
I have two wonderful daughters and two blessed grandchildren that I love more than anything. My wife had three son’s who would not have anything to do with us when she came down with MS - they afraid we might ask for help or money! Shallow! They all have children that I (we) have been cut off from seeing. One son does allow me to contact his three children on their birthdays and Christmas - cards only. I believe this is what speeded by wife’s demise.
I see so many people out without mask. I guess they have not heard that this virus is airborne. If that is true, the second wave is going to be unbelievable.
I hope you can get the thread going. I need more ways to be occupied and reduce my stress and loneliness. My doctor says I have the worst case he has seen. He is well versed in my background but is helpless to give good advice. If you succeed, keep me in mind because I am IN. I know there must be legions of us that are going nuts over the lockdown. I am of the religious type, so I do a lot of praying and making calls for the church to contact older people that have not been heard from in a while. This helps.
I wish you all the best and I will keep you in my thoughts. Always, Jim
