I haven't seen a family member for 10 weeks. I live on my own. I didn't even go to work today, I just couldn't be bothered.

Hello. One of my kids is struggling I think.

Are you allowed to WFH?

I’m WFH and really struggling. I don’t live by myself but I miss my parents and my sister. I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. It’s the unknown I am struggling with

I'm struggling today. I just don't see the point anymore. I work so get some interaction there, I even had a friend round the other night because I'd reached breaking point, but I'm finding myself bearing the edge again.

I'm a lone mum of a 5 year old balancing working, homeschooling, general mum duties, household duties, cooking, cleaning, balancing the budget.

I just feel like giving up. It also didn't help that I worked out at a transmission rate of 9,000 a day for 70% of our population to have it would take 14years!!! Wtf and that's with a static population size, so nobody coming or going which is impossible.

No I can't WFH. I'm meant to be in tomorrow as well but I just don't know if I can face it. But then I know that another day spent in bed alone staring at the four walls probably won't do me any good. This lockdown period has given me far too much time to think and all I keep thinking is about all the mistakes I've made over the years. I'd do anything to turn the clock back ten years and do things right.

Bless you op, you sound lonely, I understand. What can you do to look after your needs?
