My sons teacher was ringing round the parents yesterday to see how things were going I told her he's bored no motivation for school work she said most of the parents said the same ,not to force it if it's getting to them ,maybe you could contact her teacher and explain she's struggling .I think everyone's beyond fed up at this stage it's going on too long .My youngest is very grumpy at the moment which isn't like her at all and eldest is finding the work hard, she said she wishes she was dead so she didn't have to do school workboth are struggling to sleep, one night they slept between 3-4 hours
She's really finding literacy hard (looks, says it's hard even if it's research and send a link) but we can't even skip tricky days as the work carries on from before
the teacher has been emailing and saying how well she is doing and how proud they are. I did speak to the head 2 weeks ago to say both found literacy hard and they wouldn't do any work for me (Did for my mum though). 
You're not a teacher at the end of the day just do what you can there's no point stressing yourself or the kids out we all know they do more for others than they do for us ,my boy doesn't struggle he's just fed up with the monotony like the rest of us it's hard on kids not having any social interaction I'm sure everyone's in the same boat at this stage.She's really finding literacy hard (looks, says it's hard even if it's research and send a link) but we can't even skip tricky days as the work carries on from before
I'm finding it hard, 7 year old needs a lot of help she struggles to add single digits and I'm spelling every single word for her
I felt SO lucky and grateful to have a garden to sit in in the first lockdown. I kept commenting how lucky we were to have one. It must have been much harder for people that don't have a garden!
Hi lovely, I’ve never ever commented on any thread here before just usually lurk but I saw this and couldn’t not comment, as I don’t want to leave no reply and for something to happen overnight. I’m so sorry you had a response like that from your doctors, that’s awful and I hope your therapist gets back to you soon. In the meantime I’m not sure how this whole messaging thing works on here, but please feel free to message me and remember this is not forever, we will soon be out of this. What’s helped me is planning everything I intend on doing when restrictions allow, maybe you could make a list of everything you are going to do? Are there any friends/family you can speak to or maybe get out on a walk with tomorrow? Please don’t isolate yourself xx
You matter, never forget that.
Five day lockdown. Wtf does your government hope that will achieve. Blimey (I'm not having a go at you MHave been feeling for you all in the UK with the long lockdown having gone through one. Turns out we're getting a 5 day lockdown to avoid the UK strain spreading here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02...a-live-news-covid-19-latest-victoria/13146258
) but we've been in lockdowns and restrictions for nearly a year now and we're still seeing high figures, albeit they're falling now.
Well that's the thing! Here in Victoria we had an 111 day lockdown after an outbreak last year and got down to basically nothing except a few cases here and there in hotel quarantine. Since before Christmas life has been pretty much back to 'normal' (save for international borders being closed, unless you spend two weeks in a hotel in quarantine). But now we've had an outbreak in a hotel where a lady had the UK strain and used a nebulliser, and boom! 13 people have it and counting. So they're super cautious to avoid the situation elsewhere, where the numbers are unmanagable. This is meant to help stop spread while they track and trace contacts and do lots of testing etc.Five day lockdown. Wtf does your government hope that will achieve.

Five days
They've been testing people without symptoms in Leicester since last June... That's why we were kept in lockdown the longest as they have been going door to door (and still are) since before last summer. It's all in the councils twitter page. There's a page I get email alerts from on our local cases.. They put them into handy graphs so it's nice to see cases start falling locally too (mostly)
Thank you for your kind messages. I’m really sorry, I’ve never posted something like this before but I was feeling so low and just wanted someone, anyone, to acknowledge my sadness. I’ve saved the numbers in my phone and I think I will write down a list of everything I want to do when restrictions allow, that’s a great tip.
That is a really shocking response from your doctor .
Hope you’re doing ok! It’s better speaking up then not saying anything at all, please call your doctors again and say it’s not good enough them fobbing you off, and remember this isn’t forever! Sending love your way hope today is a better day for youThank you for your kind messages.

I had some sleep and feel a bit less desperate now. Just had reached breaking point a few hours ago. I feel a bit embarrassed by my post, I’m sorry to anyone I upset. Much love to everyone
No idea
I always thought houses were quite spread out that way and it's not a city! It's concerningCouldn’t read this and run. That is an awful attitude from your doctor! Some doctors aren’t good when it comes to mental health, if you can please try talking to a different doctor, they shouldn’t fob you off like that.
unfortunately that’s doctors for you. I live in a world where if your struggling to breath your straight to the hospital, with covid hospitals were built, look how much capacity has been made. Yet with mental health your told to wait and expected to be fine.
Outbreak in a prison apparently
