Struggling not to go out

No, that’s not a typo…

Like most people, I hugely struggled at times during lockdown. I live alone and, while friends and family were hugely supportive in terms of video calls etc., I couldn’t wait for a return to normality. However, I think I’ve reached a point where I actually struggle with staying in. I’ve been going out a lot since July, probably because it’s felt like such a novelty… but the novelty doesn’t seem to be wearing off. I honestly feel bored/restless if I stay in.

Last night I took a long bath and just relaxed, which I think I really needed after a heavy weekend - but in all honesty, it was because I was simply too tired to do otherwise. Tonight, because I’m awake again, the itchy feet are back. I have to stay in tonight because the supermarket delivery is coming - but I want to actually enjoy a night in again instead of it feeling like a chore.

Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this?!

I kind of get you - not so much with socialising but I have a very strong urge to get out of the local area and have been booking all sorts of trips away at weekends. I just booked a camping holiday in the Highlands over October half term - think I might actually have lost the plot a bit Blush

Previously I'd have loved nothing better than a week at home with nothing to do, but at the moment even staying in for the weekend just makes me feel quite down and apathetic about everything.
