I'd love hear what other people have found to do. 😊
Hi I not to bad all I do is watch TV do kids Dinner as I can not do to much as I have a lot of chest pain and shortness of breath as I get worse on the night when I go to bed my mood is up and down at the min with my stress and anxiety but thanks for asking me sarah
Hello. I hope you are able to find some good tv. I have watched a lot of Disney films over the last few weeks. They wouldn't be my first choice, but they are something the whole family can watch without arguing. I have to admit that I sometimes fall asleep.
I'm sorry that you are suffering with anxiety. Have you seen Anxiety UK - anxietyuk.org.uk/ . They have some really good support for coping with lockdown (and everything else!).
Best wishes
Sarah

Bought a Facebook portal to keep in touch with my daughters and saw my grandson crawl for the first time
That's sounds very grand. I hope it is going well. I think we are all being a bit more adventurous with technology.
I can't do exercise as always in severe pain tried to and my bowel stopped working hard when used to teach kickboxing was trying show kids some moves !!hey is what it is ,but bought a punch bag and a swing ball for the kids,daughter loves playing cards.waiting for garden plants too arrive children can help grow flowers and some are vegetables !! And children play with the gunieapig s in the garden and help clean up.so time goes fast each day with 3 children.😀
Swing ball is wonderful. I remember playing it a lot as a child. We play a lot of card games here too. Your guinea pigs will be loving all the attention (and they sunny weather). Best wishes, Sarah
Not sure if this survey was about myself or my mentally handicapped son.
Hi. It can be either (or both). It is very interesting to hear how people with a learning disability are getting on. Anything that you have found that helps may also help other families. It would be lovely to hear more.
This is a new page on the Mencap website. It includes a lot of information about staying busy. There are some planners on there too. Please have a look.
