How do you know if you are really losing the plot

[paul2louise]

What is setting you off. Are you taking each day calmly. Are you enjoying the sunshine. Or feeling like you could kill the next person who doesn't cross the road because you have crossed 3 times already. Or positive people who keep putting "let's get thro this" nicey stuff on their Facebook feed or is that what is keeping you going.
I just want to read some other people's crazy things that you normally wouldn't think twice about. And what is really helping you get thro this difficult time. Thanks

People on FB switching between conspiracies and being scared to go into there own back garden lost my shit earlier over it and had to say somthing as two different post two different view within 2 minutes told her to make up her bloody mind and stick to it, normally I would off just scrolled past but it got to me.

Let's just say she didn't like what I said so she blocked me (don't really care about that I don't have to keep seeing the posts)

My LB is getting me through the day keeps me laughing

I have had a tough few days but am feeling bit better. Hope you have deleted or muted some of those Facebook people. I had a big purge after I put this question up and deleted a lot of Facebook people. I have turned off my Strava for running too. I don't want to see what everyone is doing it they looking at me.
Keep going. Stay strong 😊

Oh I don't know. When I'm out and about I drift through the place as if I'm in a movie or a dream. People wearing face masks, it is surreal. I haven't done a proper days work in 5 weeks. I can't wait for the day I come home from work and wonder where DH is off to now, curse the bugger for being out and about when he should be doing DC bedtime.

We've been on lockdown for 5 weeks in the country we are in. And have 3 more weeks to go. To be honest I'm used to it now and so is DH and the kids. Using this time to appreciate having my husband home with me to share the workload of the house and kids while I also WFH. I also feel like this time has brought us closer!

People wearing face masks, it is surreal.

I agree, I wear one in the supermarket and aside from feeling so strange, it feels like it really slows me down as well. I wear sunglasses with it so I am in full incognito mode .

Mostly I am moping around at home as I don’t have a job at the moment - and NOT making use of the time to do all the things I could do in the house. Will start today. Hopefully.

Am in lockdown with my three teens so at least there’s that!

I watch a lot of drama and soaps, but because the soaps are on few and far between, I'm recording them and watching them now and then. And it is amazing how I react now. So, Corrie - there are lots of people on the sofa, from different houses! David just got a takeaway and didn't wash his hands, he just walked in, sat down and started eating! Rita is out, IN A PUB! And a party in Eastenders! And they are going shopping, they are using the tube! What fresh hell is this? Have they not seen the Briefings? Where's their letter from Boris? So I'm going crazy, because non of it relates to our lives anymore!
Suddenly, the soaps are the fantasy and we're the reality. And I want to do what they do!!

Yes it’s really weird how quickly this has become the new normal. And people having to qualify social media posts and TV programmes that come from before the virus just so that everyone knows that social distancing wasn’t being breached.

Social media stuff is definitely getting to me. Plus discussion in group chats. Scared to post happy pics or repost memories incase it offends or bugs people.

The sun is making it worse for me. We were supposed to be in Spain last week and had we returned to this, I know that I'd have booked us to go camping today. Picked the kids up from school with the car loaded and ready to go, which is a Friday afternoon surprise they often fret in fine weather. But now we're all stuck here and whilst we are closer and very lucky in many ways, I'm starting to really lose it. I've shouted at all of them today we need a break from one another, or a change of scene , anything. But when I think at the end of each day "what have I done today?" The answer is broadly exactly the same and has been for five weeks. Living Groundhog Day. Urgh.
