Hi, I'm a single parent of three children and have asthma. I found out yesterday that I need to shield myself. Our household hasn't been out in 2.5 weeks now due to symptoms and we've coped fine but I'm starting to feel a little wobbly now at the thought of being stuck in for 12 weeks. I won't be the only one in this position and thought a support thread to have a moan and chat to others in the same situation might be helpful.
My only usual support is my 80 year old mum who is fully independent and active but us now unable to help to protect herself. I was doing online shopping for us both until there were no delivery slots available. Thankfully we both had substantial brexit boxes that have helped significantly. Thanks to the preppers on the brexit threads for that idea.
How are you feeling and coping? Do you have support?
