I Am Lonely

Six-months of isolation is getting to me.Today has been high anxiety for me because of something, and being alone 24/7 is making it worse. I’m not sure I’ll still be sane in late 2021, if it takes that long for a vaccine. 😞

I’ve been coping pretty well, because I’m introverted. But even I am getting a little bored and restless now.

It does help being an introvert, which I am also, but 6-months of my own company is even getting too much for me. I want a dog so bad. I’ve wanted one for 5-years, but I can’t have one. 😞@SmartKat

Can’t we still socialize?

I watch News Radio on YT, and saw people at the pub. I wouldn’t feel safe there. @HootyTheNightOwl
@Carissimi Yes, pubs and hair salons re opened today.

I don't like it, either, especially when I haven't heard a lot of positive news about our track and trace system.

We also still have an entire city that has gone back into lockdown and, theoretically, these people could be going anywhere, potentially bringing the virus with them. The media has gone crazy, trying to flood the city with "Stay away" messages and businesses are turning people away who are outside the lockdown area.

As for me, I want to sit back and wait for some of this craziness to die down a bit more before I even think about doing anything.

I just watched a video of crowds of people drinking in the streets. No social distancing at all, and not a mask to be seen, although they’d need to remove it to drink. I can just imagine Corona virus rubbing its hands together, (if it were a cartoon), and saying, “ here I come, suckers!” @HootyTheNightOwl

hugs--are phone calls to your friends or video chat parties --like cards against humanity parties on the table?

I don’t do any of those. I see my eldest, from a distance, a few times a week. I text with my youngest who is in another country most days, and thank God for them, but I need a life. Unfortunately, covid isn’t conducive to me having one, until there is a vaccine. I’m on my own 24/7. I usually manage well, but 6-months is straining my mental health. @robertsnj

@Carissimi I am sorry for your pain

Sounds like the government plan is working in your area
