Anyone finding the current Covid lockdown restrictions particularly difficult for one reason or another?
Yes, I don't like being told that I can't leave my house or go to a store, It's like these government people think they own us!Anyone finding the current Covid lockdown restrictions particularly difficult for one reason or another?

In the UK things are very bad, we seem to be getting it worse than anywhere else. I guess you've got our "government" to thank for that.I think I've adapted very well. Practicing being a hermit.
But can't wait till the whole thing is over.
Here in Northern California we have managed to flatten the curve again. and they have started with vaccinations, too.
I don't trust the government to decide these things..
Personal freedom is important. However, if one's behavior endangers other people, that's a problem.

I'm not an introvert, but I am anti-social. However, having said that, I do miss a certain amount of social interaction. I used to enjoy Facebook until it become a platform for lunatics. Now my life is mainly spent reading, dog walking and watching films, which isn't something one can complain about is it!I'm in the UK and doing OK. I'm somewhat introverted by nature, and usually spend the days working alone on my computer anyway. It's worse for the other two family members who are used to a life with more social interactions, going to activities, shops and so on.
Maybe most ethical vegans are loners?I'm more than alright, actually. I am by nature a loner, and seriously work best, and enjoy my work, when I don't have to interact. We're now working on individual projects rather than working on the same job together, and I'm quite happy!
Are you living alone Mikkel or do you have a partner? I'm fortunate in that I have a wife and two dogs, living alone under the current circumstances must be difficult for many people.I'm doing most okey, but I have to say it starts to wear me a bit out sometimes. As most of you know, I have a very small cirkle with people around me, and that really shows now. I'm happy I have penpals and online friends, or else I would have struggled now. I hardly see people at work too. I haven't seen some of my friends since start of December and some in the summer. Even I miss them now.
Of cause it's important, and I still willing to put in my effort to avioid both myself and others be infected. But I really looking forward for everything to be normal. As now, it seems like so far away that this never will end...
And when you see the latest news from the US, it's very obvious people need someone to take the decission for them. It's too many idiots on this planet to let them all just do what they want...
Lol.I'm used to my partner travelling for business. It's been a difficult adjustment having him home far more than usual.
It's not really funny. It's been hard on my mental health.Are you living alone Mikkel or do you have a partner? I'm fortunate in that I have a wife and two dogs, living alone under the current circumstances must be difficult for many people.
Lol.
In that case you have my apologies, I thought you were joking. May I ask why the situation is hard on your mental health?It's not really funny. It's been hard on my mental health.
My sympathies, and yes you're right, veganism is no silver bullet. I recently required a triple heart bypass which was quite a surprise after being a seemingly fit vegan for most of my life!A few years ago I was widowed... I lost my Vegan husband to pancreatic cancer-being Vegan is Not a silver bullet...
Prior to and during my marriage I was pretty outgoing, I am a professional gardener... have also worked in retail and the service industry... depression and anxiety have also been part of my life... Lockdown for me has meant that walking alone on the beach or staying in and watching CNN for hours on end is just being responsible...in reality though it is really just a good excuse for isolating...
