Where is that fuck fest? Can I sign up somewhere?

But really, it's hard, however, focusing on work and putting some effort on my hobbies makes it easier..

What can I say? Aside from not being able to see my kids for a while, I can't really complain. Still have a job with full pay, still healthy. Children and family healthy. No friends have become sick though many are mentally and financially struggling at the moment. I do what I can to lend a friendly ear and some moral support. I consider myself fortunate in comparison to many, and this helps me cope with it all far better

I’ve been contending with a lot. our son was born less than six weeks ago and the final weeks of pregnancy were difficult. Rushing to hospital during lockdown and being forced to wait in the car for a text message to tell you if your son is still alive was hard. We lost a child before and I can still feel the echoes of that fear. Now that he’s here, we are learning to cope with a new born without any support from friends and family. I’m as hands on as I can be, and I’m doing everything I can to support Ailsa as she recovers from child birth. I work from home as well, and there is a lot happening with projects at the moment, opportunities I can’t afford to let slip through my fingers. I’m running on about four hours sleep, keeping all the plates spinning. I’m so in love with my son, but so afraid for his future. Luckily, the days are passing so quickly that I don’t have chance to panic. How long this will last for though, I don’t know. Lockdown is driving me nuts. Going shopping feels like a relief and a moment of respite, and yet I’m afraid of bringing the virus home to my son. Part of me is desperate to flee for a day or a night, and yet at exactly the same time, wild horses couldn’t drag me away. I am both loving every minute and yet wishing it would all just end. Confusing huh? And all because of lockdown. If our parents were here, if our siblings and friends were able to be here, we would be celebrating his life. But right now all I’m doing is hoping I don’t fail him or his mum.

Wow that was a lot. I’m gonna post it. Fuck it. I hope you all use this thread the way the ladies do Xx

I can’t imagine the thought of not being able to see my son. I feel blessed that he is home. I’m loving being able to spend time with him again. Like you in some ways I feel very fortunate during this, which does help me to cope well with the challenges.

I dont have children, but I do feel fortunate in having a secure job. My workmates, off work mates and fab mates makes it all bearable.

Sounds to me like you’re doing a great job, and from the perspective of a man with a child, it felt the same to me when my baby came along, only without the covid going on.

Keep at it

On the whole I have felt good during lockdown. My loved ones and almost all my friends have been well. There have been times when I have felt incredible sadness for some of the people who have lost loved ones and not been able to be with them, which happened to my sister-in-law’s husband who lost his sister. Obviously he was devastated and I felt helpless in not being able to be more supportive. My work is on hold so I’m trying to discover the energy and motivation to reinvent what I do again as the post-COVID world of work for me will be very different. The good weather, doing gardening projects and having the roof replaced on the house, with the associated disruption have been ample excuse to procrastinate. I miss spending time with my Mum and Dad and worry that I might not hug one or both of them again. They are both in their mid to late 80s. My Mum is on the shielded list and if she did catch Covid she would almost certainly not recover, given her underlying conditions. Thankfully they are both healthy and I am pleased that my Dad is technically savvy enough to be able to use Zoom and FaceTime with some hilarity when it doesn’t go smoothly due to his deteriorating hearing and not being able to hear people who are helping him to fix the problems.

I have a friend who has suspected COVID at the moment and I am worried about her, as well as another friend who caught Covid at a gig on March 7th and has still not recovered. He was healthy, fit, a keen tennis player, running each day and taking part in 10k races. He is still debilitated by the effects of having a severe form of it, as well as being cut off from the rest of his family who 10 weeks on are continuing to treat him like he has leprosy and have deserted him.

Hey YOWD

It is tough times, good to hear your parents are well and keeping in touch online.

Really sorry to hear about your friend. Hope his family would change their attitude that is terrible.

Yes I’m hoping his family attitude changes soon. I hadn’t seen him for a few months and fortunately saw him while I was out for my daily walk. At least I know to keep in touch a bit more frequently now and check how he is.

Another friend I haven’t heard from despite leaving messages. I hope he’s ok
