No. I miss spending time with my nieces, but otherwise I feel great. I can do weightlifting as much as I want, because I have all the necessary equipment in my home and I never go to the gym anyway. I have lots of time to play guitar, listen to music, read books and watch DVDs etc. There is also a large forest right behind my yard and I go hiking there every day. that would be me except the forrest part. really sucks being stuck in a crammed city during these times.

As he suggested in a different thread, Catman urges those feeling depressed to check with their state department of health and human services for links to resources which may help you get through this difficult time.

exactly. come on this is the Best time to learn something new or pick up a new hobby. I am not bothered about being at home, I can find plenty to do, but being at home still involves expenses. This is the biggest casualty and worry for many. of course, and I get that. But I see even on my friends who do have money that they struggle just with being home and gradually get more depressed. Which is also understandable somewhat. but if one is healthy and has means to stay put for a few weeks or months, staying inside really shouldnt be That hard. in a way I feel its a result of that generation (myself included) never having gone through war or famine IF thet are from the blessed countries that havent had a war or famine or totalitarian regime on their soil for a few decades.

Not really depressed just worried about certain people. I pick one project to do a day and outside time with the dogs.
I will say that over the last few weeks I've been talking and dealing with a lot of our senior citizens and have been somewhat surprised. The people who should be the most worried are the ones who aren't that worried. They've seen numerous wars and diseases and have lived through some of the worst things this world has had to offer. Yet with this they're staying safe but most aren't letting it bother them. A lot of them are the ones who volunteer for food pantry's and things like that. Now they can't so we need to step up. I've met and talked to some wonderful people out there.
I think we can all learn even more from them during this.

How would they cope if they were gaoled for real. Stir Crazy would make them weak. People can still go out for essentials and for little walk and not gathering. If this thing was so serious, we wouldn't even be allowed out to the supermarkets.
Suffering is forced onto many citizens, due to those that make the establishment decisions and are projecting this onto everyone else. They are not necessary, nor are they in the best interests of humanity, when it is about wanting to only serve the self and see the rest of the majority as expendable.
I completely agree. this should not be viewed as real suffering (the pure fact one has to stay at home for prolonged time).

I was, but I think it's getting better for me. I did stay in bed until 6:00 p.m. today, which isn't good. Especially seeing as I woke up super hungry at 9:00 a.m. and apparently just managed to stay in bed for 9 hours! Still haven't made dinner yet, just drank a few cups of coffee.
I feel kind of bad that I post negative feelings on here. I really want to improve that. I always get a lot of nice responses, and there are actually a lot of friendly people on here. Sometimes I start posting just to get some thoughts out... and it makes me probably look like negative energy. I'm trying to work on that!
