But I feel like I don't know what to do with myself. I've been cleaning, sorting, moving furniture around, general faffing but feel like I cannot focus on doing anything. I even booked a day's annual leave today so I didn't have to work, as I thought sorting out my flat would make me feel better but it hasn't. I live alone, am single and just feeling it a bit. Sorry for the moan. I haven't had my daily walk yet, have loads of garden work to do once I have finished in here. Grrr.

It's understandable. I think it's hard if you live on your own becuase you haven't for anyone distracting you/keeping you busy with stuff.

Are you able to keep in touch with people via zoom etc.?

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 27/03/2020 19:28

Thanks for replying, no I have heard of zoom - will look into that. My son FaceTimes me when he can and daughter never answers her phone! I left all my jobs till tomorrow and went for a walk and now just chilling with a drink...I think once the day is over I feel a bit more normal, as I am used to being here on my own at night. I've got a list as long as my arm of things to do, just very hard to get motivated Smile

Know what you mean OP about motivation. I think lot of us are struggling. I'm a sociable person and hate being in the house so I'm having to dig deep. It's not easy but try to stay in touch with friends and family. Are you on facebook? Our local community had a group which helps

Hi yes I am on Facebook, but I am finding that lots of people I know are avoiding social media as it's quite overwhelming at the moment. Funnily enough, I saw a couple of ads for local groups.

I've been watching Malory Towers tonight, nice and light hearted.
