Isolation is getting to me today.. advice?

[AD80]

No point in this post really but feeling emotional! I know there are tons also in this situation.

Dp tested positive last weekend. I had symptoms all week but testing negative on pcr (3 times!). I pretty much isolated as I was ill apart from going to the shop once for cough syrup and fuel. Dp is Back to work today.

Since then Ds and Dd have tested positive. Dd only tested positive yesterday so still 10 days to go with her. Ds has until Monday. I tested positive at the weekend so have until next week.

I love the build up to Christmas and I feel like it's all been taken away.

The whole of our December has been isolating due to covid. I would have been in for nearly 3 weeks by the time Dd comes out of isolation!

Thankfully our symptoms are mild and I am grateful for that.

I just feel so sad, lonely and gutted.

I would have rather isolated Over Christmas Day etc and had the build up to Christmas instead. I don't really like Christmas Day as find it overwhelming!

Today it's dawned on me I'll be isolating for another 6 days then Dd for another 2 so I'll practically be isolating longer until she's out too!!

To add both my children have sen so isolation has been challenging! They don't really have many symptoms which is good but they are combing the walls!

Sorry to hear that . Maybe there's some things you can do at home? Mulled wine in the garden if you have one, hot chocolate and a movie. Get the Christmas songs on if everyone's feeling up to it and wear your Christmas jumpers.
