How are people living on their own coping?

Yes FannyCornforth - I must remember that it's ok to feel rubbish sometimes. Thanks for reminding me.

Brilliant attitude Beige.
I think that it helps if you accept that you are going to have rubbish days, wallow a bit and move on, rather than try to fight it.

Hello squirrel I'm coping by doing most of the things I usually do, except for getting a bus and going into town (Nottingham) - something I haven't done since the beginning of the year.

I don't have a very active social life but enjoyed a monthly sewing group which hasn't met since February. I've been out for lunch twice since lockdown and have met friends in a group of five just once. Visits to family are very much curtailed. I keep busy with my usual hobbies of reading, sewing and a bit of pottering about the house, for what else can we do? Not much.

I refuse to get depressed about it - I'm glad to be alive and can and do spend my time as I please within the guidelines. I count my blessings - I have the eyesight to pursue my hobbies and the wit to know what needs doing and to get on with things. On a bad day I may slump about for a bit then tell myself to jolly well get on things.

Hi.
I don't live on my own (with DH) but my life is incredibly restricted due to several factors.
My motivation is very poor. There was a very lengthy thread all about motivation (that was its title) quite recently.
I'll see if I can find it, but advanced search doesn't work for me.
