Re: not coping

urgh im hearing you on that one @Snowie these lockdowns are so annoying. my ssiter seen her friend yesterday for a few hours for the first time in nearly 4 months! thats how long our lockdowns been so far. my other sister got to see 2 of her friends too and they went walking so still within restrictions. but 4 months is a long time to be locked down.

have been busy here. studying, babysitting, dealing with pops hissy fits and verbal stuff towards me, and working alot

Re: not coping

Sounds like you have been busy @outlander Sorry to hear about your Pop, that must be hard to deal with especially when you cannot get out much because of lockdown.

Worse thing is is that my psych isn't in lockdown anymore but I am. So I still can't see her. Over all of this too.

Re: not coping

No, not the same @outlander but at least it is something.

Not sure how long the lockdown is for. We haven't been told yet. Hoping it is not for long.

Re: not coping

hopefully its not to long @Snowie maybe since psychologists are classed as medical you could perhaps still see her in person? could you get like an exempt form or something? my physio is outside of my lockdown area but i dont need anything and can just go to her as its classed as a valid reason

Re: not coping

They are not classed as essential so cannot see her in person @outlander It really does suck. I am glad you can still see your physio hon.

Re: not coping

oh wow thats stupid. mental health is def essential! @Snowie

Re: not coping

Totally agree hon @outlander It should be classed as essential. I can't even see my pdoc who is a doctor. The only one I can see in person is my gp and thats it.

Have you got many plans for tomorrow?
