How are you all dealing with coronavirus and the restrictions many of us have to live

AzulOscuro · Mar 15, 2020 at 11:24 AM

I know it’s a hard situation. I’m coping well because I’m not excessive worried since I can be at home and only have to take the doggies out for a while, but I wonder how you are coping.
There have been lots of B$ spread on the social media. I try to only hear about the main news once a day and mainly listen to what experts have to say. I pick up with a grain of salt news from other sources.
I’m in Spain so we are again the “PIGS “of the European Union. The “butt of Europe” as I call it. lol! I know we do things our way, a little late but now people is taking it seriously and we are gonna beat this epidemic.

Also, experts recommend to follow a routine to be busy and avoid focussing too much on this issue. Your inmune system has to be strong so, please, try to dedicate time to enjoyable activities such as reading a book, playing board games, do some new crafts for home, even listen or watch humor.

The best thing I can do is to stay home,
Once I'm outside, I need to be carful what I touch, don't touch my face, objects...avoid talking face to face with ppl, better to not talk at all! Consider myself deaf and mute!
Avoid using public transportation as possible I can, enjoying doing ride using my feet!

The conclusion stay focus when I'm out,
When I'm home I act like nothing is going on!
Only that way I'm going to get rid of a daily stress that absolutely i don't need!

At home it’s ok. But, remember that this is the first day of a period we don’t know how much it’s gonna take. And I’m worried about people who have to go to work without the right safety conditions.

I guess we can make the most of this and enjoy things we can’t do in the city, such as listening to birds singing as I’m doing just now. All it’s silent. Confortable silence. Only the sing of the birds.

Vanaheimr · Mar 15, 2020 at 12:23 PM

The conclusion is once u are out, avoid anything has to do with the human race! And try to build a strong connection with the nature!
Regarding going to work, if the situation is getting worst! And if the government does nothing towards this relevant point!
To the hell with work! My life is precious than being a machine in the society of someone!
I'm sure the owners of factories and societies would be enjoying watching the number of their sold products from home drinking ice tea or something!
When it is the war time they call for poor ppl to make them fight for them! And once the war is ended they call for rich ones to split the benefits and the fortunes and wealth!
So my safety is my highest duty!

Nothing. I'm living my life as normally as possible.

I don’t know how to put a quote. This is for Vanaheimr.

Very well said. Your health is over their greed.
But consider the people who are afraid of losing their jobs. Who have babies, lots of kind of expenses.
Fear is what move us out. This is the sad thing.

In this case, there is no way out from avoiding the war! So we would better get Ready for it and reload as much possible weapons and courage to endure it! Follow the extreme safety measures and rules!

I hate things have to be like that. I do understand but I would like people could be freer than they are.

Believe me this freedom will never be found!
If ppl want to be free they may take into consideration that nothing is free! There would be a price to pay!
The question is: what price are u willing to pay to get your freedom back!

I feel the same way.

June55 · Mar 23, 2020 at 07:02 PM

It’s hard sometimes I feel so sad and anxious. I forget to breath.
Why can’t I do better?

Mar 27, 2020 at 06:59 AM

I read somewhere that the UK could be looking at a 6 month period of lockdown

that is an extremely long time

not sure if it's for certain, was just an artickle in the one of the news sites

Apr 09, 2020 at 07:40 AM

not great today.

not feeling so good.

finding myself thinking about how the lockdown has affected my anxiety, like forever

their are things for me that will never be the same for me.. lockdown or not.

guess I'm not doing a very good job of distracting today

May 15, 2020 at 05:24 AM

this week the government have started to lift some of the restrictions

from yesterday, people could start doing unlimited exercise, people could go back to work, and garden centres and parks re-opened. I am quite anxious about it, while I know the ultimate goal of the government is to lift the lockdown, having it lifted causes me a lot of anxiety

I think it's down to my life plans. people want it lifted so they can do this, that and the other, but I have no plans post lockdown

I had no plans pre lockdown so guess I feel quite screwed round about now

Buffy01 · Aug 19, 2020 at 08:32 PM

I'm terrified to be around people. I never been like that before.

I am hoping that the virus won't affect christmas, and that the country won't have to face another national lockdown.

honestly, it could go either way at the moment: cases are rising in certain parts of the country (and the government is trying local lockdowns in those areas), but the prime minister admitted this week that he was confused himself about the restrictions (because they are constantly changing), and that the country is in for a bumpy time over christmas and beyond.

honestly, it would help if people just followed the rules. but so many people don't over here (don't socially distance, wear masks) etc. of course we're in a mess

I’m in lockdown and the isolation is getting to me. There is only so much texting, housekeeping, positive self talk I can do. I want to be a good bipolar person in this situation but it’s hard.

we also went in to third national lockdown last night at midnight so that's us basically shut until easter. mcdonalds is staying open this time, be greatful for small liberties.. it was inevitable though.

Buffy01 · Jan 18, 2021 at 11:45 AM

I keep getting gang up on by those who have different believes. Then last Wednesday my nephew was exposed to the corona virus by one his teacher who came to work and while in class admitted she has tested positive for the virus.

I'm trying to find a hobby I can do at home.

Buffy01 · Feb 01, 2021 at 03:30 PM

I wish that my home felt like I am on vacation..
