The last couple of weeks I’ve started to feel quite down. Been wfh since March & the novelty is wearing off! I miss having the distinction between work & home. I miss wearing my nice work clothes and having a reason to shower, do my hair & put on make up. I miss speaking to other adults.
I am in shielding group so have been anxious all year. My Dad is in a care home & haven’t been able to hug him since March and won’t be able to see him at xmas for the first time in my life. My mum is struggling with not being able to see him properly and I’m sure she is a bit depressed. I hate seeing her so sad.
DH has been at home most of the time too in furlough and much as I love him it has put a strain on our relationship as we are on top of each other all the time and just not used to it.
I need to think of things to lift my mood so I can get through xmas for my dc’s sake. I’m sure there are others feeling the same so wondered if we could have a thread to make suggestions & ideas to cheer us up😊
