I live on my own in small flat unemployed and unmarried and now my Mother who lives alone makes me worry
I see that the Corona virus is spreading there and as I am in England I find myself anxious and agitated because I am not in a position to take a plane
There are days I can cope and days I find the isolation and Lockdown very hard to cope with
I have a small rented flat the tenants are due to leave next month but I am waiting to see how much they are willing to pay as this is my only income
Some are able to cope better than others

Please don't hesitate to continue posting on here, we are here to support from a distance. I can only understand how difficult it must be with your mum so far away but the only thing you can do is check on her by phoning her each day to see how she is.
As long as your mum doesn't leave where she is she should be perfectly safe and if she has parcels delivered then they should just put them on the doorstep so she doesn't have any contact.
You are in my thoughts at this very difficult time but please be assured we are all in this together and support each other.
I meant to say that deep breathing is very good at calming anxiety, I also go to yoga but of course not at the moment so I'm going to do some at home that's very good.
I understand how hard it is, this forum is here to support, I know not in person but I hope the words help.
I was very tearful when this started but I've since been thinking of positive things like how grateful I am for my family who, like a lot of people don't live with me so I'm missing them.
I exercise as much as i can and it really helps a lot. When the weather changes ie if it rains again I'll be following the free exercises that are on tv at present.
You are welcome and we are here to support each other.
Yes concentrate on your results as I'll give you something to focus on, that's what we need at difficult times like this.
Look after yourself and try some deep breathing, it really does help.
Yes, taking each day as it comes is a good idea. You can also talk with everyone in the group.😀👍 That way, we all can get ideas from each other on how to help each other.
You’re welcome! Working as a team is important so we can get through this together.😀👍 Yes, you’re right about the meaning of working together as a team.😀👍
Hello Roukaya. You are already dealing with some of your fears just by posting and sharing them with us.
You sound a bit lonely and because you are living on your own and now in lockdown you have a lot of time to think and worry. You probably know what I am going to say but I will say it anyway. You have to find ways of taking your mind off the current situation we are all in. We cant do anything about it but we can help ourselves by helping others ! It will fill your time and you will feel a sense of companionship and satisfaction.
The internet is amazing and helps us to keep in touch. This Forum will support you and others like you. But you have to play your part too!
For example some of us here write poems, post jokes, take photos or make up quizzes to keep up our spirits. Some of us talk about how we are spending our time or what we are interested in. It all helps.
For the time being we have to look to our inner selves to find the strength to cope with a very difficult and unusual period in our lives. So, apart from other lovely ways of filling our time like cooking, gardening and other hobbies, I would ask you to consider writing to us about how you spend your time. In the meantime, think about the things that interest you and tell us about them. We would love to hear about them and its a way of getting to know you better. I hope you will.
I think I've said enough for now, so cheers for now and hope to hear from you again soon.
So sorry. Coping in US the same. Airtravel prohibited unless to essential job business. I cope okay on some day's other meltdowns. Live alone with 🐕. Landlord's in US prohibited from evictions. Some are generous enough to waive rent fee. Other well to do celebrities and generous people with huge $'s paying rent for entire complex of renter's. Most cities in CA helping homeless. Placing in RV's donated and in hotel's. Positive tested health worker's required to quarantine offered the same. Positive police force offered the same with police fund $'s vs State funding.
