How do you pull yourself out of low moods?

prettyteapotsplease · 24/08/2021 12:32

Has lock down changed you or your hobbies?

LynseyLoses · 24/08/2021 14:29

Yes, I go out a lot less, so drink a lot less alcohol. I was always a social drinker, so not socialising as much means not drinking as much. We got out a little more now, but I quite enjoyed the break from always having something on, so I'm less inclined to make a tonne of plans. Except in the summer holidays, as DCs need to get out, so we've been busy. I also have started doing quite a lot of exercise. Did next to nothing before covid!

Mine were French, English language/literature and art. My least favorite was sport!

Coffeeanddarkchoc · 24/08/2021 15:32

Favourite subject in school - accounting. Back in the day when it was a 40 min class with no stress or overtime so I actually liked it then! Now I work in it and hate it.

Have you ever been on a cruise/would you like to go on. If so, where was it/where would you want to go?
