Hi everyone hope everyone is keeping well 😘. I thought I would say have been in self isolation since March as i live in Cyprus and we were told to . Have been reading about everyone in UK and I feel sad that the support has not been that great . I was really disappointed to hear about the supermarket situation.
I must say that I am a bit relieved that i am living in Cyprus now as access to food and even my drs support has been great.
Recently had problems breathing and was able to contact my dr and he provided everything without needing to go to the hospital. Which he said is a place to avoid at the moment.
So on nebuluzed antibiotics etc for 3 weeks. ( he did ask if i have had contact with anyone from abroad or other than the family I suspect to ruleout covid 19)
But I know i haven't.
Just now feel a bit down as i am not feeling strong weak inside cant sleep at the moment due to bruised sides
But feel I shouldn't be moaning as there are so many people with covid at the moment. It feels like it's wrong to complain at this time. 🤔

No need to feel guilty. Despite Covid 19 life continues with other illnesses too. I am physically Ok at the moment but Depression has reared its ugly head again. Please be kind to yourself, you are bound to feel low if not sleeping well. Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery.
I think everyone has felt low at present at one time or another as I have had a few episodes of it myself like with the supermarket situation and the panic buying fiasco not that we lost out personally but for those that did and the unfairness of it all, resentment over loss of liberties and others and yes I am well aware of those worse off and I am thankful but that's not the point.
Those things didn't change my situation and how I felt about it. I think you feel how you feel about things and your feelings are valid no matter what they are.
Perhaps there are people worse off but that doesn't change your situation and how you feel about it.
Don't feel guilty about feeling down, there are always people in a worse situation than us, something we cannot change. There are lots of us in the same boat, you've only written what many many people feel .
I'm trying to feel more upbeat because I'm lucky (alone but lucky) but it's hard. At times I look out the window, there are sunlit lime green leaves of my robinia tree against a backdrop of blue sky and I just don't notice or I see it but don't feel it.
I hope that you feel better for having a moan. We all need to do it at times and knowing that other are worse off doesn't help at all sometimes. You have a good GP and I hope that you soon feel better physically and mentally.
There is no need to feel guilty, we are all managing to get on with our lives. All you need to worry over is you, your family and friends. But I must admit it's so nice to know that you have taken the time to ask about us, thank you so much. Have a really good weekend and stay safe 😊 Bernadette xx xx 🌈
Sharing your thoughts and feelings helps. Take care of yourself. Glad Cyprus is looking after you well. Had a lovely holiday there few years ago.
I have a relative in Northern Cyprus who reports good news - there has been no new cases of covid-19 in a week. That is great news, here in UK we look forward to that day too.
Something to celebrate and for us in UK to look forward to.
Hope you are feeling loads better real soon and can enjoy some of the new found freedom.
I often feel that i should communicate more not just to moan.
But it feels good to know that I am not alone and a nice reminder that your understood.
I went out for an early walk this morning no one on the beach just me and it felt great. I think as things are getting better here I will venture out at 6am to feel the air in my lungs and try to get some normality back.
Hi sorry you’re feeling down at the moment and hope you feel better soon. I wouldn’t believe all that you read. I live in England and I believe our government and everyone has done a fantastic job during Covid19. The biggest problem here is the media will find any little thing to criticise then blow it out of all proportion. There are so many wonderful people doing fantastic work. It’s time we started praising instead of the constant criticism. Barbs x
Yes I know what you mean the media can write a lot of things. My cousins and brother in law are working directly with covid patients and they are doing a fabulous job amongst many others. I am muchbetter now mentally I think it was a little time of feeling sorry for myself.
As well as missing my extended family in the UK.
I have thought about so many people isolated and alone . Not only being alone but as well as dealing with their conditions a very challenging time
Aww I know what you mean, whenever the blackness descends with me it comes with a lorry load of guilt. It's so easy for me to tell others not to feel guilty as your feelings are your feelings regardless but that pep talk doesn't work on myself, always racked with guilt 🤣🙈 It sounds like it may be passing with you? I hope it is or that it does soon. I hate thinking of anyone out there feeling black and alone so it's good to hear people sharing these thoughts, kind of nice knowing you can offload.
It was a bit like that regarding shopping and food in my area, South Wales, near Swansea in the beginning. There were quite a few food shortages and it's true, TOILET ROLL 🙈🤣🤣 still don't understand that one!!! But thankfully the situation has improved 100% although still really scary going shopping but needs must. And although this is a nightmare situation, I feel there are quite a few positives here. Less traffic, I can actually hear the birds singing, it's stunning. And the community spirit that i seemed to be hankering over since my childhood has returned 😁👌 and although it's only by video call (whatsapp) we seem to be having more time and fun together as a family, sharing video's, funny stories and a weekly family quiz via whatsapp video 😁 I hope you manage to get some sleep soon and start to feel a little better. And I'm sooo jealous that you get to walk on the beach but happy for you 😘😁 take care and stay safe 😘 xxx
