Anyone else going STIR CRAZY?

How very kind that a poster offered to send me some yarn for me to be able continue knitting. No doubt this panademic has brought out the best (over=whelming majority) and worst (tiny minority) in human beings. Many thanks, I know I can order more on-line. I had a v. large stash, and before I moved I gave nearly all of it to my local Knit for Peace group.
At present, I am knitting hedgehogs and owls in a very fancy yarn, They will eventually (distant future), go on a stall for sale at a school, charity somewhere, it is lucky that I did keep two large bags of stuffed toy stuffing material.
I agree with the poster who says it is much to do with the fact that we are told we have to stay indoors, that makes us so long to go out.
I still do my own food shopping. Cannot face the problems people report of trying to get on-line for this. So, will take my chance during an 'oldies' hour.
I hope that most people do realise that this current policy is actually designed to postpone when many of us do get this virus - not that we will totally avoid it,. As it is highly unlikely that any vaccine or cure will be in place for at least 12-18 months, the current policy is to try to spread out the numbers of people being ill over a long period, so that for the small number who become seriously ill with it can be effecively treated.
Also, we do need to note that there is over 98% full recovery rate, - it is not a matter of 'We are all going to die' scenario.
So, yes about 70 plus percent of the population will contract this virus over the next several months, the over-whelming majority will have a week of two of feeling pretty unwell - a smaller number will become quite ill, and a tiny number will need serious intervention (ie hospitalisation and ventilating).
I am not intending to frighten anyone, but this is what the policy of keeping us at home is designed to do. New hospitals being fitted out, more protective clothing, many many more ventilators (such as shame as these would have been there already if the government had taken note of advice given a few years back - which they said they could not afford).
Must say that when I get in the dumps I do what I used to tell my children to do, look at those so much more unfortunate. Think of the advice being given -
Stay indoors - fine if it is safe and reasonably comfortable environment, what about those with young children, etc. crammed into a single room?
Wash your hand in soap and hot water......great if both are available - many do have this luxury on tap, so as to speak.
Think of those for whom there is no-line (anything), no money to buy the extra food required with people at home, those worrying about eviction, serious debt. etc. etc.
I must take my own advice and give myself a good talking to regularly as to how fortunate I am. Hating this isolation - but at least I can do it in comfort.

I get it, OP. I was fine the first week and thought, yes, I can do this no problems. I did morning exercise and lots of gardening. Then the weather turned and with it my mood. I still exercise every morning, and feel better for that, but somehow after lunch my mood plummets, I feel demotivated and exhausted and fit for nothing and it's not as if I don't have anything to do. The first week I was doing all sorts of jobs but I've somehow run out of steam, feel more anxious and stir crazy. We keep in touch with family and friends but I think it affects us all differently and accepting the change in lifestyle can be very difficult. Give yourself a hug - maybe try one different thing out of your comfort zone, which might give yourself a boost. Having a plan for the day might help too. I'm going to try that and see if it helps my mood. Above all don't feel guilty or odd for feeling as you do. We all have our own battles in this. Finding a new normal isn't easy.

Thank you Rowantree. I’m feeling less fraught lately. I think these feelings will come and go, like waves. My latest hobby is sourcing food as I really don’t want my family having to spend extra time in the supermarkets foraging for us.

I’m feeling pleased with myself as we now have meat (butcher delivers) vegetables and fruit (local pub/restaurant) bread flour and yeast (local bakers) and the milkman leaves milk, eggs, cheese and butter. So many little businesses stepping up to the plate unlike Tescos.

Yes, I am a wanderer by nature. I get buses and trains all over the place normally and spend at least half of every day out somewhere. I love to visit different places. I find all this very difficult.
