Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

Hey everyone, we are in LOCKDOWN again! And I hate it. I'm really over it like everyone else.
But, we can't control it, we can't tell the government that we don't like it and they'll stop the lockdown so let's do the best we can.
Why don't we use this thread to support each other.

So I'll start us off with three things I could do before the end of the day to fill in time. They can big or small. You can also do absolutely nothing which is fine too.

- Take our kids for 1 hour of exercise as a family

- Go for a run to fill up the rest of the allocated exercise time (and get my personal time in)

- Build Fort with biggest small human child (already done haha)

What can you do today?

How are you feeling about lockdown?

Hi @ArraDreaming @BPDSurvivor @LostAngel @Judi9877 @WIP and anyone else around.

Kids went back to school today so that was a good step forward.

Still dealing with supports over the phone and not in person but will see what the next few days bring.

I guess a positive was I didn't have to get up as early for ECT as it was cancelled.

Hope you are all travelling ok today and there are some good moments in your day.

Take care everyone

Snowie 💕

Hi @ArraDreaming,

I thought this is the 3rd lockdown. I probably lost count somewhere..

1. I was planning to go out for a run, but by the time I finished work, it's raining! I can't be bothered with yoga or stretching so end up watching an episode of anime. I missed my martial art classes too as this is cancelled. Exercising has been tough with gym and swimming pool closed especially as we are currently in rainy season.

2. I am hoping to plan for something new this weekend, sort of mid year resolution. Trialing on a new activity.

3. I am doing the Act For Peace Ration Challenge the following week and am preparing for lighter meals. I am sure my food in the fridge will stretch longer after. I probably wouldn't need to shop much as well.

Hope it goes as planned.

Hey @Lilaca @I guess 1 & 2 were pretty much blended into each other, in fairness. Definitely 4 as I have had to close my business 4 times 😥

Yes I’m loosing hope and let’s be honest, not good for people that are trying to find a way out of social anxiety 🤦🏼‍♀️

hi @ArraDreaming , @Snowie @BPDSurvivor and everyone else we did have Pizza for Dinner and kept watching Netflix for tonight but now Ill switch to some music before bed also managed to tell special someone how I felt about something hope that clears the air between us,Teenager is still up Playing Play Station 4 but its still fairly early and a Friday so thats ok for a while longer,think tomorow Ill call a family member just to talk, and yes the weather is cold,not raining here but still cold,its true that finding ways to keep excercising are hard at the moment,maybe I could try some yoga on the weekend or just dance around the house to cheer up sending kind thoughts to fellow Forum Friends Stay Safe and Keep Warm

Ive spoken to so many parents... for kids that can go back to school, it's so hard because they've just lost all motivation and can't be bothered.... seeing it's 3 weeks till school holidays maybe? It's so hard for kids at the moment. Home has so many distractions...who'd want to do school work?

As for @ArraDreaming , having to close your business is so challenging. It drains you mentally and I can only imagine how stressful it may be.

Hang in tight my friends.... we're in this together.

Re: Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

I miss university and yet I’m scared to go back.
So I’m on the flip side however, I’m loosing interest in my units due to isolation.

Who called for the apocalyptic style media sensation anyway 🤷‍♀️
