Same here. How old is your daughter? Mine is only 16 months but very social. We haven’t been able to see anyone or do our normal activities and I can tell it’s affecting herI live alone with my daughter and I’m worried sick about how ill cope with no adult interaction (text/ring my friends as much as possible) and how she will cope not seeing anyone
My 30th birthday was cancelled this weekend, I decided to stay 29 until further notice and celebrate once this is over.I'll definitely struggle. I'd prepared myself for 2 weeks of lockdown, but 3 takes us to my 40th birthday. Already accepted my plans would all be cancelled but now I'll have to spend it aloneSeems really childish in the grand scheme of things I know, but we're such a close family it's broken us all a bit tonight that we can't celebrate on the day together
She is 10. I feel guilty that she will be bored and missing her friends and our family but it’s the safest thing to do.Same here. How old is your daughter? Mine is only 16 months but very social. We haven’t been able to see anyone or do our normal activities and I can tell it’s affecting her
The grass is definitely always greener. If I didn’t have my daughter I think I’d be using this opportunity to read loads of books and do things I’ve been putting off for years. In reality I’d probably just sleep a lot!It’s odd how we want what we don’t have. I’m envious of people living alone! I struggle with constant interaction and I need alone time. I can’t see a way through this either. On the plus side at least there’s the internet.
Yes my son misses his mates (he plays online with them and chats to them but it isn’t the same). He also misses his football and swim club.My 30th birthday was cancelled this weekend, I decided to stay 29 until further notice and celebrate once this is over.

My daughter and her friends use Snapchat and FaceTime but even that’s gone very quiet. I’m desperately going to miss my parents, if I could just see them we would cope fine. I usually see them most days.Yes my son misses his mates (he plays online with them and chats to them but it isn’t the same). He also misses his football and swim club.
I can see this getting to him too...
I'm the other way around.Currently living in a teeny studio flat in another country without a balcony. I want to go back to the UK and just want my family as dysfunctional as they are- but we've implemented a travel ban for 15 countries. Once I leave I wouldn't be allowed back into the country until who knows when and I'm supposed to be here because of school which closed 10 days ago so would have no idea what to do if they announced (5th year medical) exams were running again .It’s odd how we want what we don’t have.

Ok that’s not a nice situation and I feel for you there. Sending lots of love. Are you able to leave for a walk once a day?I'm the other way around.Currently living in a teeny studio flat in another country without a balcony.

My mental health has always been pretty bad, but as pathetic as this sounds not even going out for the past 4 days has been so tough. I can't open the windows properly, because there's still building work going on nearby and it's just loud drilling from 6am till 5pm every single f*cking day minus sundays.
Could you get a Netflix free trial?I feel like I'm going mad, usually I go out a few times a week to visit my gramps but I can't at the moment for obvious reasons so I ring him 3 times a day and usually get teary afterwards.
Sadly I don't have Netflix or the other streaming sites so it's freeview tv for me, I'm gonna start reading so has anyone got any recommendations please?
Thank God for tattle.
How is everyone coping?
I don't have WiFi, I've only got data on my phone which is 20gb for the month.Could you get a Netflix free trial?
I’m coping ok today. It helps that I’ve accepted that my daughter will be bored and I can’t do much about it.. it takes some pressure off. I’m starting to get over a break up, it only happened at the end of last week but there’s more things to worry about. I had only been with him for 9 months but I thought he was something special lol.
Completely feel the same as you. Most of my friends all have their other halves, kids or dogs etc. to keep them sane. I'm currently going through a break with my partner and as such I'm at home in my own flat. Definitely testing times!I'm so grateful for this thread. I'm a bit tired of my friends complaining about how terribly annoying their kids/husbands/wives are being. I know it's hard for them as well, but I really am struggling with the fact that I'm completely on my own. My family of course offered me to come home to them but I would feel impossibly guilty had I spread it with traveling, and I needed to continue "my life" as normal as possible for my mental health.
I'm also struggling a bit with the aspect of singledom during this. I really thought I was on a good way with dating and meeting new guys, and even though I'd struck gold with the last one, but now it's all seemingly crumbled to shite.
Sending you all hugs, health, and please do PM if you're feeling overwhelmed! Sometimes it's so much easier to talk/vent to someone in your same shoes. <3
