How is everyone coping? I'm lucky enough to still work but I'm in tier 3 and just go home to be alone, dont see family or friends, I think I actually might want to settle down after this, one person would be lovely but not possible at min never mind meeting multiple strangers! Guess we are all in same boat but I'm jealous of those with partners atm  |

Social media contact not help you? It's an odd thing these days but I talk a bit more on the phone now or Zoom Chat. It's good to see faces with voices and words being spoken instead of being read from a page.  |

It doesn't sound enough Op to be nourishing your soul. If there was some way to increase your social contact it would probably be healthy for you. Isolation isn't good for us over extended periods. If your work/life balance could be loaded a bit more towards social contact, you'd likely feel strong benefits from it. Is there some way to increase your support network now, before the worse weather comes and potentially worse virus conditions? |

I feel your pain OP.
I too live alone but have had to work from home for most of the time since March. It’s literally soul destroying. Nearest family is 100 miles away and friends all have partners and/or kids that take up most of their time.
It’s just something that we have to find a way through. |

You and me both love! I'm not even working thanks to this damn virus just like a lot of other people. It's tough when you luce by yourself and it doesn't help when you suffer with depression and suicidal thoughts too |

You are not alone OP.
Family and friends live miles away, I saw my parents in the summer but know that was it for the year. I live with my lad and not currently working, when he goes to school or at his dads for the weekend, I tend to just sleep or read to pass the day. Yes I have those couple of hours with him when he gets back from school chatting about his day and honestly that is what keeps me going. I touch base with a couple of friends occasionally, some every day, but I’ve sealed myself off from most as it’s just easier to deal with. If I didn’t have to do the food shop once a fortnight I wouldn’t leave these four walls at all.
Have good days and bad days, but I’ve got used to it now and accepted this is life for quite sometime and that has helped.

Not really. I've been on the phone to the Samaritans but there's only so much they can say  |

ive tried to keep busy through out lockdown as much as the haters dont like it but living alone is totally different from living with a partner where u have company,its like being in a prison cell and fab is brilliant for hook ups that also kept u busy instead of being isolated,id hate to think how many are suffering through being stuck in the house so thats my reason for looking after my self even if its a non contact social meet.its actully kicked me to join a vanilla dating site but not sure if i could do vanilla life so would have to convert her straight away lol |

I have a partner and for four months he was the only person I saw.
For me it's not seeing my kids and grandkids. My eldest lives in Wales, the other two are walking distance but shielding.
My youngest went into hospital yesterday as she couldn't breath: she's six months pregnant. Only her husband can visit. Not being able to go and cuddle my daughter is heart breaking more than I thought possible. |

I really struggled with the loneliness during the last lockdown. Made sure I've got a bubble girl this time. I thrive with company but go downhill without  |

it's the key question in this whole fandango. I live alone in tier one but been self isolating for last two weeks so whilst i've been working in the office for three months i've now been in solitary confinement for two weeks - boy this is a real difference. At least at the start i could work from home and then pop out to queue to get in the shops, walk in the park, but self isolation is a different kettle of fish |

we had to rush round to Cs dads house today as he hadn't answered his phone for a longtime. We got in the house panicked but relieved that he'd just forgotten it was in his jacket pocket... bubbles will burst when they need to

"It's a bit shit.
To put it mildly."
It is VERY shit and very concerning and we should all reach out to try and check on our friends and family and even some we don't know very well.
Go on.. Check on someone tonight. A simple text to say thinking of you would mean so much to someone. (yeah even your ex). |

Much as I want people to follow the rules, I totally understand certain occasions require immediate action. |
