How has lockdown changed you?

Personally, 2 months without a haircut has left me looking like I belong on a surfboard (or skateboard, take your pick). I've quite enjoyed having the safe environment to see what I'd be like with longer hair (even if it is a bit messy). I think it makes me look younger.

Has lockdown changed you for better or worse in any way?

Greater appreciation for some and deeper disgust in others.

I appreciate the freedom we have and we had. Slowed down in everything. Helps me see the world in a new light.

Am bigger, I don’t think I will get away with the excuse that my clothes have shrunk any longer. I appreciate having some time to myself, my diary has been clear now for 10 weeks and not rushing around 7 days a week is definitely refreshing. I appreciate less frequent food shopping trips, I appreciate still being able to work from home and most of all right now, I appreciate my health in a way that I perhaps have never done before

The first half did, the second half I worked hard to regain me, so pretty much back to normal now mentally and physically, I'm glad I'm allowed to start back to work again next week and schools open, life is moving forwards nicely

due to various reasons before all this i did not necessarily go out much or interact with others much

its totally different when its someone else telling you that you cant and i do miss my daily routines

have found myself walking a bit more even if only short ones - when someone told you that it was one reason to get out I took advantage

I've put on weight too, I lost the motivation to exercise for a while, but I'm getting back into it now.

Made me appreciate just the simple task of socialising with others. A visit to the seafront, shops, food outlets etc

Lost touch with friends a bit as don't have much to say, some have been really financially affected so you hardly want to be saying you are ok and keeping going.

Mostly I've been positive, had a few wobbles but minor.

Have been really busy workwise and so have been neglecting myself so need to address that and get some weight off and drink less!

Lockdown has been a wild ride for me, and much has changed. I have become a father to a living child, and it has made me more responsible and more patient than I was. I have also grown much closer to some wonderful friends, and found within myself a much greater well of compassion and care for others than I thought I had. I’ve rediscovered a level of commitment to my work that I thought was gone forever, and I’ve shaved my head for the first time in about 15 years, so I look very different now too. I’ve always thought of myself as a rather solitary person, comfortable with my own company for long stretches. I know now that isn’t entirely correct. I miss my family and my friends. I’m looking forward to all sorts of cuddles and snogs and meets when lockdown is lifted, laughs and drinks and dinners and parties. And there are about 50 people waiting to meet my son. Lockdown lifted will bring even more changes. I cannot wait

Working from home has made me appreciate how rubbish it was commuting everyday to the office and enjoying a less busy town, less traffic and noise, saying hello and thank you to people you pass on the pavement, getting by with less choice

"

We'll start by calling it a "partial lockdown" people were still allowed out for exercise shopping and work.

Not a thing changed for me. I just carried on as normal in every single aspect.

Like a Butlins Camp compared to prison this

Life seems simpler. Less shopping, less consumerism and no commuting.

I've finished the garden. Grown a beard, shaved it off and cut (shaved) my own head.

I want to move to country more than ever, grow some veggies and have a few chickens and dog. I'd like to do this with some one who shares my kinks and live a simpler life.

Keyworker here too, except work has never been so quiet so I'm not sure what my key is!

I've been office bound until recently but now I can roam for some things.

As for lockdown I miss my outdoor fun and, god help me, the gym. On the other hand I've lost weight, saved money and got a lot of outstanding house jobs done. Lockdown's ok, I think we should do it more...

The 'mandatory' daily walks have helped me too.

I think it's made me more thoughtful and considerate; people would irritate me before and I'd make my general disdain for them known. Now I think - "well what's going on with them?". I don't want to add to any one's struggles because people are going through enough.

I'm also more grateful; the fortunate financial and career position both my partner and I are in, the incredible work my family and key workers do and the wonderful relationships that offer laughter and support and love. Even little things like the daily messages friends send or the ones checking in on me, taking time to do so means a lot. I think it's made me reassess what is important and life and overall I'm better for it (albeit chubbier!).

I quite like the longer scruffy hair look on some guys. Not all lockdown hairstyles are created equally so it’s a specific look type of long scruffy that I like

I’ve lost a lot of flexibility as I’ve been spending more time on my bum. Creaking, aching joints I feel like an old lady

My skin is really good at the moment though, probably from not going up and down the motorway into the city centre everyday

I'm totally sick of it aren't you?

I'm so cross that I'm not one of the lucky ones to be furloughed having a nice paid break from work

I'm running around sweating wearing PPE while they're all having BBQs!

I not the most social person, but I'm definitely missing my family and friends. I just want to chill with them in a beer garden and have a hug.

I've had to become more patient with my kids, they're sick of the sight of me but can't go back to school until September.

I've got back into running, which I was always too exhausted to do before. And that's doing wonders for my mental health.

I cut my hair, with the help of a 14 year old, so it's... interesting

And I'm slightly chunky from all the stress baking I did at the start, but I've managed to lose 1/2 a stone now so I'm heading in the right direction.
