Anyone else still feeling flat??

I just cant shake it off, since the pandemic and all the lockdowns, the restrictions I have no motivation to do anything still. Normally love planning days out and holidays etc but just cant be bothered, is this the effect of living life the way we all have for the past year or so? Feels like every day is the same, monotone existence.

Same! I have completely lost the Will time entertain my children too. I worked too hard on it during lockdowns!

I'm not sure who said it first but "stuck in first gear" that puts what I've been trying to describe into such simple words.

Totally. I can’t find anything I want to read / watch/do. Places I loved seem dull. Future seems lame. My friends kinda bore me but if I don’t see them I’m lonely. Permanently annoyed with DH. Still adore DC though, thank god for DC cuddles!

I could’ve written this!

I was electronic before covid. Now, I've seen fewer people, and I've felt less lonely. All the causes of my social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy have been removed.

Now the country is (apparently) opening up again I'm reluctantly having to see people and do things that I never wanted to see/do in the first place. I quite liked it when it was just me, DH and the DC.

We have had a couple of well timed visits with DHs family (particular people we get on especially well with) over the last year. Beyond that I don't think I've missed much about life before.

I think this says more about my general mental health and the people (or lack of) that I have in my life than it does about Covid.

Electronic? Ffs, LONELY. I don't even know how that typo happened.

Was going to take afternoon off and go out , again no energy and desire so stayed in...................

Yup. I've become particularly lazy at home too. Need to kick myself up the ass!!

This explains a LOT

How’s everyone doing these days?

Starting to feel a bit better but still not quite back to where I was. Second gear, perhaps.
