C19, self isolation and one of it's cosequences.
If you have seen my recent posts you will be aware that I have been in self isolation at home for over a month and owing to circumstances that came to light on Friday last this self isolation will have to continue for a few more weeks yet.
One of the problems that has arisen because of the self isolation is that I have not seen ANY female flesh for over a month and according to my wife unlikely to see any for another couple of weeks.
So the question is, is there anybody else out there in the same situation and if so how are you coping? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Been over 3.5 years for me.

Count yourself lucky.

On a more serious note I've heard suicide rates have skyrocketed recently, especially among single men. Mental health care is literally gone, I've been told I may need to wait up to four MONTHS just for a response to an enquiry.

Unbelievable really. 2011 110 USW

Yeah, one of the lads i used to work with, cracked up a two weeks ago, after been paid off. The lad was told by the doctor to go out more, Rolling Eyes well he cannot, due to lock down. Rolling Eyes Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I personally find it ok, as i work from home so its kind of normal for me the only thing is dealing with having the family at home with me! Lets just say there is no quiet time. If anything the wife is finding it the hardest as she is usually in an office with hundreds around.

Im ok with my own company.

I think forums like this and other keep you sane and stop me from completing "p**n hub You tube too learning new skills.

But also trying new skills, or getting better at something non work related. Ive tried to improve my welding and recently stated working with leather, no relation to p**n hub.

Made a metal beating bag!

So i guess you just have to roll with it and keep telling yourself it will be over.

Hang in there guys and girls on serious note we are all hear if anyone needs to chat public or otherwise suicide in men is real deal. If it helps to chat just ping a message.
