Yes, all my family live in areas that I’m not allowed to access. I’m not even allowed to meet with friends. The only person I can have at my house is if I was lucky enough to have had a romantic partner before covid. People tell me I’m lucky to be alone but I think it’s because they’re with the wrong person.

@SW-User oh no! That’s no fun. I thought I was happy because there’s less stress about everything... less socials and social burdens... but being apart from someon I live so much like my mom... when I sometimes just want to be loved and accepted... it’s frustrating. So you are by far more isolated than I am. I have immediate family -the “right” one. Still life isn’t perfect and seeing other family and friends freely again would be nice. Are you able to get out and have fun alone? Outdoors?

@Mindful Thanks for understanding and yes I love my outdoors and it keeps me sane. I have lots of national parks to go running and hiking in and I’m hoping by Xmas that I’ll be allowed to go back to the beach again.

@SW-User hugs and hang in there.
