I'm not doing well knowing we are going to lvl 2 this week... I know I am SO privileged that I work from home, and have the income needed to survive lock-down, and so many have suffered emotionally from it and financially-so please know I acknowledge these are only my feelings -
For me lock-down has been brilliant for my mental health (my ADHD (& possible ASD), and not having to do face-to-face communication, not having to figure out how to properly socialize at my child's school, not having to figure things out...no guilt at being home but productive -
Now the idea of going out makes my heart sink. I enjoyed my bubble. I adored the freedom it gave me to be myself. To not have to "act neurotypical". In my bubble I didn't constantly let people down by always being late, forgetting, or misunderstanding things.
I know for many it's been the opposite and their mental health needs the opposite of mine...I'm just going to miss it. For once in my life I felt peace I didn't know could exist.
