Lockdown update

Just a brief post to let you guys know how I’ve been coping in lockdown.

It’s been hard… I know it’s been hard on all of us.

I’ve not been able to see my family properly. Nor my friends. I’ve also not seen my boyfriend for 6/7 weeks.

The amount of times I’ve cried myself to sleep over the situation we are in is silly. I don’t like this situation at all.

HOWEVER

I am doing the RIGHT thing.

I am keeping myself safe.

I am keeping my family safe.

I am keeping my friends safe.

I am also in my own home and have many things to keep me occupied.

I am also still able to work (from home.. Obviously).

It’s not all bad.

I have noticed though, that my “bad spells” that I’ve mentioned in the past has become more frequent over the last few weeks. Within the last 7 weeks I’ve had 2 pretty bad, bad spells.

This probably doesn’t sound like alot, but to me it kinda is. 6/7 years ago I was having at least 1 bad spell a week and over the years I’ve managed – by fighting and pushing myself to live a normal life – to get that down to 1 every few months, if that.

I think the stress of it all is taking a toll on my body slightly. Also I’m not moving around as much as I normally would if everything was normal and I was able to go to work, go out with my boyfriend and friends etc.

I am trying to 1 keep my mind occupied (as I mentioned earlier – I am able to work – so that’s keeping me busy during the week) and 2 do a bit of exercise everyday. I’m finding the wii fit very fun and beneficial during these times!!

Also, has anyone else been having weird, vivid dreams lately? I have.

In fact last night I had one which really scared me😂🙈

I dreamt that I woke up one morning and one of my scars on my stomach had opened up😳😳.

When I woke this morning the first thing I did was lift my shirt up to check – luckily all is fine! 😂😅. I don’t think that is likely to happen as my scars should be well healed by now – it’s been 7 years!

Anyway, I’ll finish up for now.

Take care and stay safe.
