How have or are people living on their own coping, or not, with lockdown?

Hi @Hmc63. It’s so difficult at the moment isn’t it and I completely understand how your emotions are up and down - it’s the same here! I think all off your worries are ones we have all had, especially during the current climate and It must be extra hard for you, having to keep it all from your mum. I think it’s really brave to acknowledge that your mental health is suffering this week. I wondered if your mental health had been been affected before (I know mine is on and off) and how you managed? Yes, you need to look after your mum but you also need to look after yourself and make sure you have some support. Have you got people around to support you and to help with your mums care? I’m so glad you could share on here. Have you thought about calling the support line and actually talking through your worries. I thought this might help? I’ve also included the link to a thread on sleeping difficulties. Lots of people really struggle and who knows, one of the suggestions may be right for you. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Remember, we are all here for you and the support line is open tomorrow if you need it. Please take care X
