Where are you located @MDT ?
I'm actually doing so much better this lockdown. But I guess because it's our 5th lockdown here in Melbourne. So I planned my days and routine to stay well.
Last lockdown, I wasn't coping.

Hi @MDT ,
Yeah, if it's your first lockdown, it makes it a lot harder.
I remember when we had an 8pm curfew. Felt like the war times where there were check points at every corner. You couldn't drive down the street without having your papers checked. All our authorised worker permits were checked, and authorities everywhere.
Hence, this lockdown is definitely not hard. I'd prefer the shorter lockdowns to the 6 month ones!
All the best @MDT . Be kind to yourself.
