I need hugs

Fabbers,

I’ve coped great with the Covid. I worked from home for 7 weeks and now back to the office full time starting my 5th week tomorrow.

I’ve kept people around me going, work colleagues, friends on Fab.

I’ve food shopped for two people including an 80 year old neighbour and checked on her every day.

I’ve decorated my kitchen three weeks ago.

BUT

I’ve not been anywhere nice, only food shops and chemist.

I’ve not seen my FWB.

I’ve not met anyone or been to clubs.

I’m starting to feel really down, fed up and emotional.

I need virtual hugs.

Bhubaysi xx

Hug sent.

Try and do something for you as soon as you can and make sure you reach out to some one close.

We had lunch out in our city yesterday and it was really nice.

Keep strong and stay safe.

It's hard isn't it when you feel like you've given so much of yourself to everyone else then the "what about you" thought, you feel selfish but please don't.

Self care and wanting something for you isn't selfish, it's necessary

Sending lots of love and hugs to you.

Take care of yourself please

I feel your pain... I've been on my own with a child for 14 weeks.... I'd give anything to be able to cuddle the Mr and to just not be stuck here all the time.

Down and emotional - your not kidding

i'm feeling exactly the same, i've worked throughout all this and thought i was doing ok, but slowly i've noticed my mood flatten, my libido die and crying for no reason. None of this is normal for me at all, i'm craving human contact, cuddles ect. hopefully it won't be too much longer until we can get on with living our lives xx

Sometimes we all need to stop and take time out for ourselves and although goes against the grain for those of us that take of others, we need to take care of ourselves. We are entitled to be selfish from time to time and that's a Good thing because you need time out. If you don't, you'll have burnout.

Huge hugs ((((()))))

I so get it. I saw my FWB for the first time yesterday, because I'm too weak to pick up my prescriptions. He got them for me. We talked at a distance at my gate for awhile. It was the second friend I've seen, and the longest encounter, since March. (He's now taking the piss out of my middle name )

My message to PP also applies to you too.

I've been working full time and part time for both of my front line jobs - my line of careers unfortunately consisting of eat, sleep breath and chat in association with C-19 so there is no escape - Fab is my escape.

Huge (((((hugs))))) to all now starting to feel the strain xx

I know how you feel. I've worked throughout lockdown & got my exercise walks in. Looked after my kids on my own much of the nights & weekends, kept them fed & watered.

Tried to regularly check up on online friends to keep their mood up while often fighting feeling down & emotional myself. Had some very good up days doing the garden & plants, washing the car etc. Then crash back down again.

Sadly I seemed to be doing almost all of the checking & saying hi. Only really one person (who I knew would be there for me) checked in with me & we kept each others spirits up. I didn't want to pester people but after no contact for a number of days you start to wonder why is nobody asking me how I am & I'm doing all this.

You can only take so much, we all need that other person to touch base & say hello & I was thinking about you. No need to feel guilty.

I know who I can rely on & they're the best friend I could wish for.

Saw you briefly on cam last night & you looked lovely even if you may not have felt great being ill. Hugs to you & all who need one. We've all knuckled down & done what we had to do. Our nice time will come soon. Treat yourself to something as soon as you can.

I tried to chat to a friend last week and she said ‘I’m just having dinner that has been brought to me by someone I hardly know but they care’, she never checked on me later so I now see her for what she is. I’ve found the people I am looking after are now taking advantage of me in they are expecting more than I can give. Both have grown up children so I can’t understand why they are being like this with me. It was only ever to pick up things while I’m shopping for myself.

I’m a strong person normally but this is sure getting to me now.

Thank you for all the comments. Let’s spread some love.

xxxxx
