How would you say you are coping mentally?

The plural of vinyl is vinyl mate.

A top tip about discogs...check the bands own website first, they are usually a bit cheaper. This obviously only works with stuff released recently.

Sound of Vinyl has some good prices on at the moment!

Wifey cracked on Saturday

A twenty minute job of us going for our shopping via click and collect from Sainsbury ended up being a three hour outing and she totally broke down

Weird one today. I've had an awful lot on professionally. Easily the most I've had to do on a single day since this all started. I thought it'd be quite cathartic to feel busy. End of the working day and it's left me feeling quite numb. All felt so...trivial? Bit of a shitter. Just felt numb from it all and absolutely no sense of satisfaction at all. Maybe it's because usually at the end of the day it's like 'great! now I get to live my life!', and well...you can't. All that work for no reward.

Could be something else too - was chatting to a friend about a similar feeling a few weeks back and they referenced Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. Bit a-level psychology this, obviously, but maybe there's sumat in it.

I think it's pretty difficult to get anywhere near the top when so many aren't anywhere near content with the two basic needs. Reckon it could be a bit of a problem for people all over the world. Productivity will drop off a cliff I think, not through choice either. Just people won't feel anywhere near their true self. I'm a really creative fella and have always had the urge to create and make things throughout my life. Just disappeared entirely over the past few months.

Think there's going to be issues like this that we've not really thought about. Poor decision making in work, people operating at about 70% mentally cos their head is elsewhere etc. It'll be a weird time. Anyway, just something to ponder.

You're not losing your marbles, it happened to a number of returning servicemen after the two world wars.

That's interesting to know. For what its worth, I wasn't for one second implying that anything I've gone through is anywhere *near* as bad as what they went through. I know lots of us are very fortunate in that way! More just pondering the effects of the psyche of some people after spending months in a heightened state of insecurity around job security, health, fear of losing family, while having all of life's pleasantries kinda removed. It's almost certainly going to change the way lots of people think isn't it?

I was doing fine until about two weeks ago when I had a panic attack for the first time, it was so scary I honestly thought I was going to die. I’ve had maybe 6-7 fully blown ones since and lots of smaller ones that I’ve been able to control before they get really bad. I honestly don’t even feel like myself anymore, it’s scary how fast they have come on and taken over my life. I have a constant knot in my stomach and feel panicky all the time, just waiting for the next attack. It’s horrible feeling like this, I absolutely hate it.
