[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know not everyone is in the same boat, but here is what I have done to make life more bearable this past year:

1. Exercise - take long walks and weight training
2. Eat healthy - lot of veggies and eating with intention
3. Take care of any health issues - don't put aside visiting doctors
4. Set goals for projects around the house - that way I feel a sense of accomplishment
5. Get to know my neighbors better and hang out outside where it is much safer - we have done lots of this for a year and it's been a lifesaver
6. Touch base with family - we have done a lot of Facetime and for local family, outside with masks around a firepit
7. Plan for "after" - even if we don't know when after might actually be, make some mental plans to look forward to
8. Spend dedicated time with the kids - really enjoy the time together because it is fleeting
9. Pursue hobbies
10. Subscribe to a meal kit plan - this has been a lifesaver from having to cook the same things over and over again

I know you mean well but hearing "exercise and eat well" after a year of DROWNING EVERY SINGLE DAY makes me want to reach through the screen and smack you silly.

I barely get to go to the bathroom alone.  You think I am eating with intention or weight training?!!!  I am an angry soft dumpling of a person right now, who is slowly being pecked to death by pigeons (my children).  [/quote]
