Hi @BlueBay
I understand what you are saying and feeling but really - you and I and the rest of us can and will deal with this - what else can do?
I had a look at the internet but I am not sure if what I was reading for the next 6 weeks but it doesn't seem much harder than it has been - and tough - yes - this I know but what is the alternative?
And we can still go out for necessary reasons - but I guess you are thinking about living in the Crowded House for 6 weeks and this won't be easy for you - and in reality - anyone in your home so you need to try and work out a few things there so you are not pushed around by other people there
You need to ask someone else to cook dinner and not just wait for them to imagine you might want nothing - yes - I know that one - I am glad I was the cook most of the time and it does seem as if your family expects you to do the lion's share. If you want the house quiet - then inform people you have a headache if you do - or you just want it quiet.
I think you probably need a family round table meeting to sort out some rules so no one feels pushed around and you need to speak up - I am sure you can do this - if it works out the pay-off would make the lockdown more bearable - and I do understand - it will be hard for you - for everyone -
It might seems as if the Government is trying to suffocate us - but actually it's the coronavirus and imo it would be a lot worse than staying at home - and then there are people who didn't keep the earlier rules and they are responsible for a lot - and this bites me a bit - it bites many people I am sure - when most people keep the lock down rules and some people don't
I understand what you are saying - at the beginning of my 7 days of total isolation I was unprepared - I only got the email during the time I was at the doctors getting my COVID test. I coudn't leave the house for any reason and the only person I saw was the lady who came to help me out with my shower and then the lady who drove me to the hospital on Friday morning - and at the beginning I felt it was a tough ask but necessary - I got through it and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I am sure none of us want the virus to spread any further
So I don't know if your work is affected - but I do recall you have a Centrelink payment available and that should help - I hope you do have that.
So do your best to live it one day at a time - or one hour at a time or even 20 minutes at a time - and tell yourself you will deal with it - which is all we can do - I do understand though - you need time in hospital and maybe that won't happen and I do get it - I very nearly didn't get my elective surgery - and those few days waiting to find out were really tough on my nerves and I am pretty resilient
I am thinking of you
