Have you noticed people getting irritable?

Are your family and friends getting touchy about things that don't normally seem to bother them?

I’m on my own, and I’m not more irritable, but do feel like I want to break down and cry. I just finished an intense workout, and I just wanted to cry at the end. I think it’s the high stress of this virus is making any more exertion on my energy just too much. I wish I could cry. It would be like a release valve.

For all of us. Thank you. @JimminyChristmas 🤗

@Carissimi I was thinking of you today, and wondering how you were holding up.

Thanks, @SmartKat. I’m doing better tonight. This thing is a roller coaster trying to calm my anxiety and isolation. I think what helped tonight is I ate more carbohydrates...sprouted grain bread with low sugar jam. It made me feel better. I think I need more carbs. They seem to affect my blood chemistry and give me a sense of calm and comfort.

I’ve noticed myself getting irritable when I’m not scared. I think Mr. Kat feels crankier than usual - although he’s usually good at hiding it.

That is a symptom of cabin fever. One person I heard is actually so bored that are seriously thinking of killing themselves. That must be some extreme psychic pain to push you into that.

Not much more than usual. My son told me he has cabin fever, and the last time I messaged him he said it was stressful...but all are healthy.

For myself, I have noticed that some people here on SW are beginning to fray at the edges...myself included, last week.
