How to cope with lockdown?
Not gonna lie, it's starting to get to me now. A year without going to pubs, meeting people, getting laid, letting loose, going kickboxing, extreme sports, travelling, experiencing new things and generally living life how I always have done is really starting to get me angry at everything around me. Even the little things are starting to p*ss me off to unreasonable levels. I'm just sick of everything and I want a change. I'm someone that's always done things outside my comfort zone and now I'm stuck inside it and I'm lost.
At first it was "Ah it's just a minor setback, I can deal with it" and now I feel like I've just wasted a year of my life. My patience and mood is deteriorating and I know it's because I have nothing to live for at the moment. I work nightshifts and during the day when people are walking about; I'm asleep. I don't see people anymore, let alone meet them. I've tried looking for new things to keep me occupied and I've been doing them, but nothing interests me in the slightest. I've always been an adrenaline junkie and I'm not going to get that rush of living on the edge from the endless cycle of going work and coming home.At this rate I feel like I just want a release and to go to a rave or something. Just let loose because if I don't I'll probably end up hitting someone at work or kicking up a fuss with police.Any ideas on how to deal with it?
Jen, thank you for your valuable advice. Treating every person the same and thinking that everyone has the same level of tolerance is a great way to combat bad mental health. I'm glad you're around to tell us all to 'just deal with it'. If you did that to everyone I'm sure the suicide rate on this planet would be 0. -_-
And guys, I agree that it'd be great if we could just ignore this. After all my country has been in lockdown since last year and the COVID rates are still raising, we might as well just open up and save our economy if we can't properly deal with COVID instead of losing both the economy and having COVID.
But my country also offers hefty fines for breaching lockdown rules and a lot of people don't see things this way. Ultimately I'd rather avoid breaching the rules if I can (I can't hahaha)
