hello @Snowie @ArraDreaming @Ybother @NatureLover @WIP and anyone else on this thread I feel I should give an update firstly @Ybother Im so sorry you have been going through so much emotionally at this time I can only imagine how hard things have been and continue to be for you as a result of going through something horrible as rape and then worst not being believed or listened to by those closest to you sending hugs your way secondly @NatureLover I do now have food and toilet paper and other essentials at home so things have improoved thank you for checking in thirdly I am no longer in lockdown myself as for regional areas have eased restrictions in place currently but I do have family members who are still in lockdown in melbourne whom I feel for as they are finding it difficult doing just the same things everyday,I am currently still doing without my car unfortunetly so transport is more the issue for now till i motivate myself to organise things with mechanic who was suposed to be the one to call me back

Hi @LostAngel @ArraDreaming @Ybother @Snowie @NatureLover @Shaz51 @WIP @BPDSurvivor and all forumites here. Just checking into see how lockdown is treating you for all those in Melbourne and regional Victoria. How are things in your part of the world? Are you entirely free or partly free like I am?

To be honest, lockdown for me has been hard this past week as I'm really missing the library and not having any academic work to do, besides helping my housemate with her tafe studies in mental health. I've had an ndis review meeting via phone on Monday afternoon which went surprisingly well and I had a scholarship phone interview for a Tafe mental health course this morning to ensure I'm suitable not only for the scholarship but for the course and a career in mental health as well. I've decided to go back and continue uni part time in my psychology course as well in case I don't get accepted into the mental health course as the tafe is really messing around with the enrolment process. I will continue to do both courses should I get in as uni is purely online which means I can study when I'm not at tafe 2 days a week.

I don't like having restrictions put on me, especially when the cases aren't in my area and all because the government can't handle quarantine properly. The checking in of places is also difficult for me as I feel like I'm be followed by the government and I don't really know what they'll use that information for, besides contact tracing purposes so they say. The freedoms that metro Melbourne get back at midnight tonight are also pathetic in my view and not really freedoms at all.

I just want life back to normal with me doing my usual things without government interference. It really is a true test of my resilience and I'm surprised at how well I'm honestly coping. I'm trying really hard to live my life as well as possible but it is hard.

Take care and stay safe forumites!

@Judi9877 it is hard with all this lockdown. Just remember you are doing the very best you can.

With you through this 💜

I have to agree on meany levels, to be honest without intervention at least from my point of view, I may have been where I was 5 years ago, smiling and loving my life as a house keeper so to speak.
it was enough for me, unfortunately not how other people saw it.

this whole lock down rubbish has totally crippled my interest in studying and social life.

not that social life is something I care to deeply about anyway, however I was in a dam better mental state before this.

thanks for that one, its amazing more people haven't died, and not being from some hokus pokus virus.

give the common influenza virus a different name and omg it's the H1N1 oh no 🙈

come on

@Judi9877

Im just sick of being the joke. Honestly I feel so violated by my experience over this last 5 years that I have lost faith in everyone.

I did not want this experience and it's actually made my life worse.

I should have been left at home. It's actually what I was trying to do in the first place.
