My mental heath has been spiralling this they closed the gyms again.
It just feels like work work work work.
I just don't understand how I can get up at 4am on a Monday and travel 6 hours to work with a workmate.
Stay in a twin room with a work mate all week .
Then travel 6 hours home on a friday in a van with a work mate .
Yet I can't go to the gym ?
Crazy world i live in.

We're now through the greater part of this and people will be able to have more social engagement soon. It's been incredibly tough, especially for those who have lost people they loved and care about.
We have to accept where we are at. When we do, we also accept that we are moving on and getting away from the worst of it.
The after effects of this will continue, the emotional and psychological impact is great. People getting together will start to ease some of the turmoil. But we have to remain as strong now as we can, nobody is loving it. There are things that we can do - we don't have to be passive - we can manage our own situation as best as we can and we can support others, though limited. |

Was at first but then I realised although covids real. The numbers spouted by the gov and msm are complete and utter bollocks. Couldn't care less anymore.
Obviously I feel for those who have lost loved ones but thats life unfortunately. We all die eventually. Sick of hearing about it. Mostly annoyed at the unnecessary loss of life as a result of lockdown. Livelihoods included |

Some of that is your employer forcing conditions that are not permitted. You may get paid extra and hold down your job for the long distance working but the arrangements are not legal. The travel, the overnight room sharing in Travelodge etc is 100% not permitted and the hotels should be alerted to stop it, as they are legally bound to. |

Would you rather not have worked? It's shit for everyone, but especially for the ones who have been furloughed or lost their job.
I've been working from home since this started. On occasion the walls are coming at me, but I try to flip it around in an "at least i still have a job" kind of way and that worked pretty well for me x |

trouble most likely, or creating it :) |
I've found that I'm doing a lot more chat and check calls this time around. I'd like to hope its because more people are using the system now but it does seem to be a lot harder this time around.
I'm finding it harder, although I've used the time to sort many aspects of my life and in checking in with old friends have found myself in a situation I never expected. But having my daughter with disabilities sobbing on me at times as she is scared she may die.. or that her friends could
. Its heartbreaking.... xxx |

We have kept all texts and emails of our protestations of it all to them.
Just incase we need them in the future.
The hotel don't care we have complained in every one we have been in about the room situation.

As someone who does suffer anxiety and occasionally treated for depression, this has been hell. Saturday will mark one full year since I last worked aside from one single gig to raise money for a local food bank. My job helps with my issues so I have spiralled and had meltdowns a lot.
I do feel for those affected and those who have lost loved ones, but something has to give somewhere.
There will be many worse than me, and I know others who also haven’t worked in a year so also had no income. I’ve been lucky enough to receive the equivalent of furlough here but many haven’t
Also the number of people who are going to struggle coming out of the situation is something that I feel may be very problematic.
Mental health being spoken about so freely now is such a good thing, it the services were already stretched before this and I think it’ll be worse now
No easy solution for any of of this and for everyone person who’s had covid, I suspect there will be another ready to break. I’m one of them who is finding it harder and harder to stay positive |

Being slightly autistic I'm OK with lockdown. More anxious stepping out the front door even if things get normal.
Lucky to be working from home.
Miss clubbing. Hate on line shopping.
Love the fridge and the tele.
Can't wait for summer weather.

Millions are wasted every year due to its top heavy managment while the real workers do not get what they are worth.
The money wasted on nightingale hospitals could have been better used in the NHS hospitals we already have. They were never going to be used as the staff to run them were never in place.
What we should be really asking is how the crooks in westminster plan to pay back the two trillion debt they have run up with the banks?
Universal Basic Income here we come!

It would not. But they will say it will so they can push it forward.
It has no benefit to the working man.
The world economic forum lay it all out on thier web pages, have a look. If you don't know, they are the ones who organise davos every year |

It never could clear if and it is not in the interest of the ones pulling the strings above boris, etc for the debt to ever be cleared. Countries will just service their debts. The lockdowns in the next few years will be climate change lockdowns to reach thd agreed levels on the 'green deal'. This is all part of the biggest con for almost 2000 years! |

If thats what you think, no problem.
Get the chemicals pumped into your body every year, sign up for your passport so they know where you are and what you do, wear your muzzle, be a good sheep and follow the rules, enjoy all your lockdowns and other restrictions on your life because it will never go back to what we had without a fight.
