6.5. 8 after Covid

mistletoeandsigh · 09/01/2021 22:57

I'm not unhappy but I'm anxious. I can't tell if I can't breathe properly due to Covid or if I'm feeling panicky. It's ruining my mood.

I think I'm a 5/6

Serin · 09/01/2021 22:57

Im usually very upbeat and would probably average a 9.
However, due to lockdown and working with dying people I'd say I'm a 6 right now.

  1. Maybe an 8.5. I’m pretty content but there’s room for improvement
Guineapig99 · 09/01/2021 23:00
  1. Mostly 7 in life with 9/10
Peaks and the odd 4/5 now and again.

Varies day to day. Nowadays between 2-4

loubieloo4 · 09/01/2021 23:08

Honestly I don't know, can be 1 or 10 changing by the minute. Dh 40 has stage 4 terminal cancer and was given 12 months to live, so 1 but then he has outlived his life expectancy 10, but then I know in the not to distant future he will die so back to 1.

Wishiwasonholiday1 · 09/01/2021 23:08

9-10, I'm generally a v positive person and am very grateful for everything I have.

MarthaWashingtonsFeralTomcat · 09/01/2021 23:12

I'm usually a 9 (pre lockdown, and for about 3 weeks in the summer when I was free-er) but I'm a 6 at the moment. Wednesday was a 2. Gradual improvement but 6 or 7 is probably as good as it's going to get for now.

TrickorTreacle · 09/01/2021 23:16

My scale has always been -10 to 10.

10 is good.
6 is average.
0 is just sheer boredom / nothing.
Negative values indicate either hospitalisation, MH issues or domestic violence / victim of crime.

Lockdown 1 was a zero for me.
Summer was a 3.
Lockdown 2 was a 6.
Lockdown 3 (now) is still a 6.

CocoPark · 09/01/2021 23:19

Pre-lockdown about an 8.5

Today about a 4

I'm probably averaging about a 5-6. I'm a very blessed person but the latest lockdown, speculation about further restrictions, and news stories like the arsehole cops in Derbyshire, is all starting to give me a constant sick feeling. Last year was bad enough but at least it felt like there'd be an end point. Now I'm just permanently "meh" waiting for the next depressing thing.

6

Oblomov20 · 09/01/2021 23:23

6 or 7.
I rarely deviate from this. It takes a lot to change me.
Sometimes I'm pissed off, or frustrated, sometimes I'm happier. But I have inner contentment so I don't waiver from this number that much.

AnxiousAlpaca · 09/01/2021 23:32

Depends as I have a form of bipolar disorder so it can vary widely. This week has been horrific though, and frankly since Christmas it’s not been great. I feel ungrateful because looking at my life from outside i have nothing to feel sad about really. And that in turn just makes me feel even shittier about myself. So right now a 3 maybe just. If you’d asked me mid week I’d have given you a negative number though.

froggydoggy · 10/01/2021 00:18

4 but on Monday it'll be 3.

HeyMister · 10/01/2021 00:24

7 which isn't too bad

LimitIsUp · 10/01/2021 00:26

Been around a 4 for a while (due to Covid restrictions)

Pre Covid, varying between 6-9
