I am enjoying the quarantine because there is no pressure on me to do anything, nothing is happening, and i have been isolating myself for about two years anyway. It is also delaying my CTB date as I do not want to put pressure on an already overloaded health service.

My life before is the same as it is now except I have to sterilize everything that comes into my home and I seem to be getting ripped off alot more on Amazon.

I'm disabled and can't work, I used to have mild agoraphobia (just one of many phobias) now I'm full blown agoraphobia. That and the increase in my thoughts and plans have increased. From going to bed thinking "I wish I wouldn't wake up"to now where I've planned my timeline and narrowed my method down.

I am very distressed about the overall situation in the world: the rising death count, the increase in suffering due to the halt of business. However, on a personal level, I too am relieved that the world and its corresponding demands are on pause right now. Prior to quarantine I was in a deep depression and not leaving the house anyway, so I did not have to adjust my lifestyle.

In a way, I am somewhat comforted that everyone else is experiencing some level of misery right now. I feel like shouting "welcome to my world, biotches!". But I am also aware that this situation will end (eventually) and all those other people will get to wake up from their nightmare, while mine will continue.

Same for me. I see all people complaining about lockdown and for me it's so easy. I used to get out but that was before all my life became shit.

Im enjoying the little routine ive built for myself with no stress or pressure to go alongside it, albeit boring at times its not too bad.
If im honest id probably still be inside the same amount even without the lockdown lol

It hasn't changed much in my life, except that I can't find a vacant delivery timeslot at the grocery store.

I grew up expecting something really big would happen during my lifetime, like nuclear war, alien visitors, SOMEthing that would radically change everything or end the world or somesuch. Up to now I've felt mildly ripped off, but I guess this pandemic would be what I was raised to expect. We'll see if it really changes the world longterm.

I'm a loner but I hate this quarantine. I have nowhere to go, only go to the grocery store once a week.

I hate being stuck in my apartment all day, its awful.

I wish I could travel and just go somewhere else while the economy recovers. If I'm still alive (although I may not be, I'm eyeing early May as a time to ctb) after the travel restrictions are lifted I'm gtfo here.

I am enjoying it. No pressure to meet up with people, socialize, act normal... I can just stay cooped up and now it's not weird.

With the current living situation, no I haven't been enjoying it at all. First of all, I still have to go to work because the work that I do is necessary, but it also puts me at risk of getting sick, despite the restrictions and additional safety precautions that are in place. The second problem is that I am not currently living in my own place, so I am living with family at the moment and it feels like I am being suffocated because they are always here and I need my space.

I think if I could have been renting a small house in the country and living by myself, with the ability to do relaxing things outside that didn't require leaving the property, AND could have been collecting unemployment without having to go anywhere for a month, I probably would have replied with a "hell yes!" If that was the situation, I would still say that I wouldn't be totally isolated. I have a cousin who needs a ride to get his groceries once in a while because he doesn't have a car, so I could get my healthy dose of other people by taking him to get those things and hanging out a bit before heading home again.

As miserable as this quarantine has been for most people, I'm glad that someone is able to enjoy it. That might not be the case for me, but if the circumstances were a little different, maybe I could have.

Yes I sort of am, because I would probably be isolated anyway and it's meant that mental health followup can't come and see me in person. I've found mental health services totally irritating and thought I'd shaken it off after having a relatively good year but ending up in the psych ward again just puts me back to square one and I refuse to go through more years of having weekly meetings that supposedly support me but are basically just a stranger asking me how my mood is. I view it more of an enforcement of medication and box ticking exercise than anything supportive. Not to mention the levels of condescension and being spoken to in a way that has totally altered my sense of who I was.

I would have enjoyed this lockdown if I lived alone .. Now living with parents make it worst... They don't know abt my suicidal thoughts and trying to act normal in front of them the whole time is very stressful and depressing.

I don't mind it. It's an excuse to be antisocial and stay in my bed without having to say bs such as "I'm not feeling well" etc.

Yep exactly the same! No more pressure and stress of life, just stay indoors, do minimum work, and we're good!
