I cannot understand why people cannot manage to live without contact with other people, in this day of technology there are so many ways of contacting people, for me I have not noticed any difference between before the lockdown and after the lockdown with being disabled due to an accident whilst in the army I seldom go out I can go a month or more without any contact with other people the person I see most is the post lady and even her I only get to shout "thanks" as she walks away, with the way I live it is very doubtful I will catch this virus which is the only good thing going for the way I live.
Good luck to everyone having trouble with the lockdown it will be over soon, once you can start going out please think of the people who have to live like this every day and who know that it will never change.

Hi Poppy_Ann,
I do understand why, for some people, it is really difficult to be completely alone, without the touches and hugs of loved ones and the cheerfulness and companionship that there can be in a room, which just doesn't exist in contact electronically.
I think people can and are managing. They have to, but there's a hole in their hearts and their lives.
I do completely understand what you are saying though, because I was thinking of it only this morning, before I even got up.
Years ago, brave people left the comfort of home, for so many reasons to forge new lives somewhere else, knowing that the likelihood of seeing parents, sibling, friends, ever again, was a remote possibility. And all that anyone could hope for, was an occasional letter for family support, news of home, and more importantly, the company of loved ones they were missing as part of a family.
It's good to be strong and to be happy in your own company. I'm very lucky that I can do that too, but there is still, in the background, always something that's missing. And some of us are less able to endure that.
I join with you in wishing everyone whose daily life is always lonely, (and those who are experiencing it in lockdown), a special wish for a happy day today. And very best wishes to you too Poppy-Ann.
Hi there, people with visible disability and invisible disability will be well suited to this current situation because as you say, it's something you live with, 24/7 all year round. I hope it will make people consider disabilities in a different light after this because people would have tasted a bit of what it feels like to have these restrictions in place. They might realise just how much of a struggle disability affects so many and impinge on their quality of life. Maybe you can put a few tips on coping strategies. Have a good day. 🌷🌸🌷
Yes I am the same. I do not go out much anyway as it is too hard. Fear of getting the virus or giving it to others should be enough incentive for people to stay home. One death is one too many and there been far too many globally.
