How would you say you are coping mentally?

On average 5

I shudder when I read the words 'self isolate'

Can't they put a more positive spin on it ........'lifesavers' for example.

Apart from my sleep pattern being completely fucked, there's no change. I'll always find something to smile about. It's my medicine.

I'm on the extra vulnerable list, but am quite calm. My family are doing their nut. I just say don't worry, my medical condition is bound to kill me one day anyway. Doesn't seem to help. Chin up everybody.

9. Not worried at all about the virus, more concerned about how the country and the NHS is going to recover from the cost of this lockdown.

Thanks,not much to say really,just took a wrong word ,it has been a tough time on my own,i wish i was holed up with somebody

Was the wrong word the one (nonsense) word post on this thread?

You're doing fine. I appreciate the daily updates, by the way. Hang in there, kid.

I’m working 7 days a week at the moment, I’m finding to hard, I have a team of 9 colleagues which has been asked to pick a work load that would usually take 45 people to clear. To be able to keep engaging, motivating and leading the team is getting harder, which is understandable. On top I have two young children so my days starts again when I get home!

was a 9 slipped to an 8 this last couple of days as work has dried up. As I'm one of those with little/no govt help that's got to be an issue but I do have a war chest to see me through, and hopefully slowdown is temporary.......

finances apart, family are well which is the most important thing, and I'm using the time stuck in to develop new skills. So far I've become pretty comfortable with affinity publisher dtp software (anyone need any literature produced?), ordered a bit of kit to educate myself on macro photography, produced a short travel book of words and pictures from a recent holiday (just because) and trying to narrow down a couple of short courses in subjects which have no relation to any current interests or work, which is proving a little difficult.

All about staying mentally active

Missing my daughter and a number of events I'd bought tickets for have been cancelled, but other than that no big personal issues to contend with at this point, but as I happily work from home anyway I'm used to and actually enjoy the isolation part

Still managing to sleep ok but am having some unusual dreams.

THIS WTF is all that about???

Me and the family are absolutely fine, helped by the boys behaving brilliantly so far. I think the overriding word and feeling of the situation is 'acceptance' - we've all just accepted that it's what we've got to do. The lock down is going on until the 26th here now which means my 3yo and 6yo(autistic) won't have left the house for 6 weeks but there's no complaining. So far.

On the flip side I just can't comprehend the devastation this will cause and how desperately sad it all is.

It's those dream-contolling 5G masts. Burn the fuckers down!
