[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Puttering around the house, doing yard work, cooking, cleaning, organizing, etc. just feels like the most boring waste of time. I've never been a homebody type--always been much happier being out and about. The social isolation is really getting to me. I loved getting together with friends for lunch, it was one of the highlights of my week in the past. So sad to think it could be months/years before I can do that again. Not to mention my spouse is exhausted, stressed and distant and never home so I feel more alone in the world than ever. Additionally, we had so many wonderful things planned this spring and summer--travel we have now canceled, special events that were one-time things (like my husband's 40th birthday celebration in April that we canceled--I had planned a big party for him, and my mother's 70th birthday celebration that we were going to fly to Arizona for in May--now canceled). We had a big family reunion planned for June--now canceled. We canceled all our travel through the end of 2020. These are milestone events that we had to cancel and I'll never get those experiences back. Our families are all out of town (thousands of miles away, not within driving distance) and I have no idea when we will get to see them again. All this greatly depresses me.[/quote] None of those things need to be cancelled, just postponed. You can have your mom's 70th birthday celebration when she's 71; it's not the end of the world. Think of your life and your life experiences as being on hold, not over. It's just a pause; it's not permanent. [/quote]
