Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
What's the point of a bank holiday if you can't go anywhere or do anything?
I'm getting totally fed up of just cycling round in circles. I need real human interaction. It seems like this will never end. I'm fed up and the behaviour of complete arseholes means that this is going to take forever to go away. Anyway it's annoying to hear my Mum say 'well glad to hear you're coping OK' when basically I'm not. I thought I made that obvious... Oh well, carry on then. Stuff this non-life. There's no point doing anything. |

^ That is what my usual bank holidays are like, lots of people out and about so I stay at home!
You can have a socially distanced meet up with someone in a park or on a bench, or go for a walk with someone if you want to. Do you have anyone to do that sort of thing with? |

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^ not really :-(
I'd feel stupid asking anyway. Hey, want to stand two metres away from me in a park while we chat about all the things we haven't done in the last few months, in full mask? I can't handle one-to-one social interaction. I need a crowd to disappear into. My parents are a hundred miles away and I can't see them without taking the train, which I won't do currently. My sister might as well be on Mars. |

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^ It's a very odd time isn't it, no-one can do anything and therefor no-one has anything to talk about when they finally do see someone. I'd forgotten about masks too!
I'm in the same boat with family, I haven't seen any of mine for six months now since they live too far away. |

I was just wondering whether you think the littermate syndrome theory is a load of poo or not?

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
about what effects all this might have on people. I don't actually buy "people will just back to normal soon enough". I think a lot people might like this to be the case, but this has been such a jarring disruption to usual habits I'm not sure people will be able to forget it all. As many SAUK users will know, traumatic events aren't easy to just forget.

That one of the hardest parts of having BPD is knowing that no one will ever love me as much as I love them. A lifetime of being lonely and I've never gotten used to it.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^ Feeling like you can never exist on the same wavelength as other people is horrible
In a way I feel fortunate that whatever PD-related issues I have, they're at least a kind that allow me to be sort of OK with loneliness. Well, not OK, but able to tolerate it. If I felt like I needed people, I don't know how I'd cope. I can abandon things like love and affection before I get hurt by them. |

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^I'm sure that comes with the frustration of not being able to allow yourself love and affection though.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
It does, but I guess I'm able to live with it. Having even the slightest attraction to someone makes me feel like a huge creep, and that feels way worse than the frustration of avoiding things like that entirely.

That I am so sick of my shit life and how much of a failure I am

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^^ Merritt - Being attracted to someone doesn't mean you're a creep (your words) it means you're a normal human being. You are certainly as worthy as every other person of experiencing love and affection, even if you struggle to believe this to be true
^ Rufus - When I read in another of your posts that you have managed to abstain from drinking alcohol for 7 months my immediate thought was how tough that would have been for you but how strong you must be to have achieved this, especially when you are continuing to have such a difficult time of it. I personally think you are doing yourself a huge disservice by calling yourself a failure rather than focusing on how you are managing to confront and overcome challenges. I think you really need to give yourself some credit Rufus |

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
@ consolida - you are a very kind and caring person, sorry if Im always negative
I was feeling low last night and felt had to get it off my chest. Its very hard now, having to deal with my feelings, without the alcohol as my crutch. to numb, to change/alter who I am. |

How has the Southwest gone from having one of the lowest Coronavirus infection rates to being the highest in the country?

The city I live in (Aberdeen) for quite a long time had a low infection rate and now is quite high (when compared to average). Similar sort of thing as what is going on in SW England I imagine. Last time I looked South Wales seemed to be the main hotspot in the Uk. Swansea as well as Merthyr Tydfil and The Valleys were noticeably bad. Overall though things are getting better, but slowly..... |

What the boiler/gas inspector guy is doing - he sounds like he's wrecking my kitchen! :/
Least he's turned up before I start work at midday I suppose. |

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
Well I wasn't wrong he must have stepped on a plastic bowl I have sitting on the floor with cleaning stuff in and split it all
He was very sweet and apologetic tho. |
