I haven't been at work since mid March ish... worked from home for 2 weeks until the new end of March then was furloughed. So this is my 4th week on furlough which I am so grateful for... I'm still getting paid and healthy but can't help but feel anxious...
The thing is I started this job in February which means I barely got going and this shite happened. I'm really worried if I still will have a job to go back to... I'm also worried about not knowing when I can go back to work, as I'm sure many of us are the same... just the whole not knowing makes me feel worried. Everyone has an opinion and everyone seems to think they know better. Ones think we should lift the restrictions some think we should stay in 'lockdown'... some people around my home seem to act like there is no lockdown some people are giving me the eyes in the park if I go for a run.
My DP is flat out working from home, and that's great! But it also makes me feel lonely... he is only calls all the time and working pretty much 8-10 hrs a day. I have tried loads of things, baking, cleaning, learning a new skill (online course) started going out once a day for a morning run ... but still feeling crap. My work whatsapp is busy every day ... everyone still seems to be 'working' or chatting away about work related stuff even though I thought most of us are furloughed. I do check in with my colleagues once a week ish but I can not contribute in anyways at work... I'm the new girl, barley started the job and got furloughed. I'm so upset I could cry literally all the time. I'm lonely, scared, worried... feeling useless.
I appreciate that everyone's life has been affected and honestly I'm so happy that my loved ones and I are fine but I just don't know how long I can cope with this.
Ps. I stopped watching the news so could someone please let me know what day exactly the second 3 weeks of lockdown is over? Will this be renewed again than? Also has anyone read anything about when retail shops, showrooms, studios can be opened?
