Re: Hard time dealing with this lockdown
Don't beat yourself up about it? I had a moment like this on Friday and my husband pointed out that it's perfectly normal to be upset in an upsetting situation.
I can't tell you how to feel better, but I can tell you what's working for me. Luckily, as tends to happen, I'm being rescued by my natural curiosity - I'm a problem solver by nature and this situation has given me lots of, well, fun stuff to do.
I've invested in a small kit to learn a new crafting skill, I'm planning things I can cook in the event of shortages and I'm making sure to get a walk in the park each day so I can listen to birdsong. I'm checking up on small local businesses and ordering from any that deliver. Between that and telecommuting, I've never been so busy. Yes, I'm a bit scared that I'm having to go into work one day a week but I'm also proud to be able to help out vulnerable kids and teens in our region, if only a little.
Sunflower, I know it's not much but if you need some downtime I'd be happy to offer crafting classes via video link, or even to send a small care package.
I hope you feel better soon.
