Lockdown/Mental Health

[goats]

First time I've posted on here for ages..

The lockdown has been absolutely horrendous for me. I've found myself googling things, I really never thought I would.

The working from home has been the killer, but the general lack of socialising, feeling unhappy, loss of nearly every enjoyment I have (football, pub, gigs, meeting friends etc), the way society is fragmenting, the anger, bitterness etc..its so depressing.

Horrible time, by far the worst period of my life.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this period will be over soon so try and focus on that. Watching the endless news scaremongering isn’t good, lots of oldies I know my mums age (70’s or 80’s) have stopped watching it. It’s just too much for them. I gave it a miss back in April and found life much easier. I dont think We have ever lived in a period of such mis information, it’s almost as if you can’t believe anything anyone says anymore. It’s not good for society as a whole, like Trump and his fake news philosophy.
Working from home and missing that social interaction is an absolute killer for some, whereas others I know seem to love it.
Keep your chin up.....

It's been a tough year, following all the arguments and from Brexit. I have noticed that people are much more argumentative and vocal than previously, i've got a mate who is forever arguing on Twitter face book everything, and losing his shit over stuff that he has no control over. I think social media maybe adding to the problem, people stuck at home bored and arguing for the sake of it, so i don't think it generally helps?

Arguing with Sludge has kept me busy in lockdown

Spot on about news scaremongering, Failsonline headline today telling us there's been 400plus new infections, but if you read a lot further down over a hundred don't even reside in Wales. Then you have Dripford and his daft sidekick talking about banning students going home for xmas and quarantining people entering Wales from England. What next Checkpoint Charlie on the M4 and Stasi patrolling Severn tunnel junction East Berlin cold war style? No wonder people are so depressed about the future.
