coronovirus virus

[unicorndiva210]

I’m getting really worried and really fed up with being on lockdown I think it’s doing the same thing every day that gets me at first I didn’t really think the virus was that serious but now it is serious and I’m really worried about it I miss my gran and miss my sister I just really want too hear something positive because the news is all bad news we need more positive things too talk about I think I hope we can beat the virus and lockdown together as a community and as friends we are all in this together

[unicorndiva210]

Please someone reply

Everyone is feeling fed up at present as the circumstances aren't very nice as I have had times I have felt fed up and angry myself over various things like the panic buyers and it's OK to feel like that but what isn't ok is to be rude to someone say swearing at a supermarket worker because you can't have your own way.

If the news and social media upset you then don't watch them and if something upsets you on social media log off and leave the room as I had to do that myself as I had become agitated seeing the pictures of empty shelves shoved in my face at every turn and what it was that upset me was the injustice of it all as there was no need for it and the less fortunate had to do without which is unfair in my view so what I did was shout swear words at the pictures and logged out and went away from there and felt better on my return!

It's normal to be worried in a crisis as its uncertainty that upsets me more than anything but life is full of things we don't plan for and one thing we can control is our reactions and behaviour to the things that upset us no matter how silly and trivial it seems.

Best of luck to you!

I know yeah I just miss my gran and I miss my sister she lives in Manchester with her boyfriend where as I live in Rochdale with my mum and dad and I’m just missing family members and my friends xxxxxxxxx

That's the thing isn't it even though there's phone and video calls and the humble postal letter and e mail to keep in contact nothing replaces a personal visit.

It's hard to take when you are used to personal visits only to have them taken away without any kind of warning and it's frustrating when there's nothing you can do about it!

I think life after the lockdown and when the virus is over it’s gonna make us appreciate what we have in the world a lot more xxxx

[Hidden in reply to unicorndiva210]

Of course it is and a lesson is never take anything for granted as one day it might get snatched away from you without warning!

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I know exactly what you mean hun I always have this quote and this saying don’t take love for granted because love is meant too be forever and people get tired eventually and always have fun in life

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I know I miss my sister and my gran terribly I want nothing more than too give my sister and my gran a hug when the virus and lockdown is over 🥰🥰😘😘

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I think what gets me is doing the same thing every day and having too stay at home and only being aloud out once a day for exercise think a lot of people are finding the situation tough and difficult and I think life is gonna Change after the lockdown and when the virus is over xx

[Elliott_Woods]

I feel your pain ❣️ sending you love during this stressful time. Hang tight and try to look for the good and positive things in life my friend ☺️

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Elliott_Woods]

I know one thing that is true is that we can beat this virus and lockdown together can’t we it’s just so boring xxx just the news channels are so depressing we need positive feedback and positive vibes xxxxxxx

Hi I am finding it very hard to as the only person I don't have to self isolate from is 1 sister. I find her hard work but have no choice at the moment.

Another thing which is getting me annoyed is either having to queue at the supermarket, or go at times for the elderly. I am in my 60's with mild lung disease and chronic back pain. I don't come under the most vulnerable group (I'm in the UK) so don't get the official 'vulnerable' letter from the govt. which would give me priority online slots, and can't get a slot at all. Then when I am shopping I can only walk one direction following the floor markings with my ears ringing with exhortations to hurry! I am treated the same as a young, fit able bodied person.

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

I think lots of people are fed up with having to queue to get into the supermarket but it always seems worse when you are ill and in my view telling people to hurry is rude as you can't tell if someone's disabled just by looking at them.

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

Well I am bent with a walking stick and sister has 2 so it should be fairly obvious that neither of us is fit. x

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

Some people are just plain selfish and where there's no sense there's no feeling either!

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I know yeah because all over Easter people were going too the parks and the beach and breaking the social distancing rules xxx

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

i know I’m not very patient when it comes too queuing up too get into the shop I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes too the social distancing rules but I do follow the rules even though I dont know what I’m doing

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I know exactly how you feel I’m not very patient when it comes too quening Up waiting too enter inside a shop and when the quene is really long i ask myself is what I need from the shop really worth it

[unicorndiva210 in reply to hypercat54]

I know I feel your pain and I think everyone is being driven crazy with this lockdown and with the virus I don’t like shopping anymore where you have too quene up in a cue just too get into the shop it’s so annoying and it’s really difficult and frustrating we can beat the virus and beat this lockdown together as friends and as a community xx

[hypercat54 in reply to unicorndiva210]

Well try being in your 60's with chronic back problems and a walking stick! It's not just difficult and frustrating but nearly b...... impossible! It's hard enough to cope with at the best of times and this is far from the best.

Im a grandmother missing her grandkids. Im not a fan of facetime but try not to show it. We share pics and keep up on facebook. I feel guilty for feeling so sad as I have alot to be thankful for. I am home with a loving husband, pets, live in the country so I can be outside. But just this overwhelming sadness. I think we are all feeling it. There is so much negative news and do much unknown about the future right now. I wonder if your gran would like to get an old fashioned letter in the mail from you? There is something theraputic about writing, expressing your feelings to her. Im sure she would love to read and re- read it when she feels lonely.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You're entitled to feel sad and it's irrelevant how much you have to be grateful for as of course you are thankful but that doesn't stop you missing the things that were taken away from you without warning when all this kicked off!

I have been feeling angry myself over the panic buying fiasco and other things recently and having freedoms curtailed and having to fight for basic things when there was no need due to the selfish panic buying fiasco that shouldn't have been allowed to happen!

You must never feel guilty for how you feel as you have every right to your feelings and the fact you have things to be thankful for doesn't mean you have less right to feel sad as those who are supposedly worse off than you as the plight of the worse off doesn't solve your problems of understandably feeling sad for not seeing your grandkids in person like you have been used to and then its taken away without warning and there's nothing you can do about it!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thankyou! That makes good sense. 💜

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

Okay hun I’m glad but I think life after lockdown and life after the virus is over is gonna make us appreciate what we have more and it’s gonna make us appreciate and more thankful for what we have in life and at least the social distancing and the staying at home is necessary

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

Okay hun that’s good too know

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I know I miss my gran and my sister but the social distancing rules and the lockdown it’s been necessary and it’s s what we need too do too stop the virus from spreading

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Hidden]

I’m an auntie aswell and I miss my family members and my friends so much I just can’t wait until the virus and the lockdown too be over I miss the shops and the restaurants and the pubs being open I think life will change after the virus and after being on lockdown I think it’s gonna make everyone in life more thankful and appreciate things and appreciate life more

[unicorndiva210]

I haven’t had a diet since the virus or the lockdown started and now i have my mum and dad nagging at me because they are worried about my weight but I go too chocolate when I’m feeling bored is there any other way I could handle being bored then I would xx

[unicorndiva210]

And another thing that’s annoying is having too quene in a line too go too a shop I’m really sorry but they don’t know how annoying it is and the social distancing is annoying too I will glad when the virus and lockdown is over

[Hidden in reply to unicorndiva210]

Yes the queuing is annoying but it's fair and polite first come first served though.

[Dolphin14]

You use the word annoying a lot. I will take the annoyance to have myself, my family and friends be alive at the end of this.

I miss my family. I can't hug or touch them. I can see them from a distance and do the face time etc but it's not the same.

I have a friend who thought this was " nothing" and she is now getting over the virus.

Shut off the tv. Get out and exercise. Eat healthy, this shouldn't be a " free pass" to not take care of yourself.

People that don't follow the protocols are not helping any of us. That's the most frustrating part for me.

Yes, we will get through this. Let's be grateful if we have a roof over our head. Let's buy what is available to us for food options. It may not be what we are used to but we can do it if there's no other choice.

Some people have lost jobs, family, friends etc.

There are people working the front lines risking their lives for the sick.

It's a minor inconvenience to stay in the house when you consider what others are going through.

Stay safe and take care of yourself.

[Hidden in reply to Dolphin14]

In our house in a funny way we have enjoyed living on less and will change the way we shop in the future which never would have happened if this hadn't kicked off.

I personally feel great things can come out of horrible ones myself.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Hidden]

Agree, it's kind of back to basics now.

A lot of lessons learned about ourselves and others around us.

Stay safe

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes agreed a lot of lessons learnt and basics learnt hope your okay and hope your well keep staying safe

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Dolphin14]

Awwwwww okay thanks for the advice I hope your okay and staying safe I’m okay and staying safe I might consider just doing more arts and crafts and colouring in and painting and that I just can’t wait too hug my sister and my gran when the virus parademic is all over I guess the social distancing and the staying at home is necessary too make the virus go away even faster so that nobody else gets infected xx

[Dolphin14 in reply to unicorndiva210]

Yes, as hard as it is we have to do what we are being advised.

Def work on your hobbies.

I understand about your family. I'm a very touchy person. I really feel the need to hug my family. It really is so hard.

We will get through it. We want to be safe. I think we will come out of this with a much deeper appreciation of what's important.

Stay safe

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes im like you I love hugs and kisses and we will be beat the virus and the lockdown together by friends families and communities by our sides I’m too finding it hard not giving my family and friends hug and a kiss but we can get through this lockdown and the virus together

[Dolphin14 in reply to unicorndiva210]

Yes we can. We are strong. ❤️

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes ageeed we are very strong as a country and we can beat the lockdown and we can beat the virus together

[Hidden in reply to Dolphin14]

This afternoon I started a course on future learn about humanitarian aid and there's pictures on there of those less fortunate than us in the UK and I said how those countries make you realise that you are pretty well off and even though lockdown isn't very nice it's not forever.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Hidden]

I completely agree.

Stay safe.

[unicorndiva210 in reply to Dolphin14]

Awwwwww okay thanks for the advice and I hope your okay and feeling well take care of yourself and keep staying safe
