We just took a long drive and that helped. The city is empty. Very eerie.

It almost feels apocalyptic. There's no traffic, the malls are empty. I am dreading my husband's reduction in work. We'll be on top of each other and I know he'll have a ton of pent up issues.

I hear you on apocalyptic.

My husband and I were on top of each other at first. Then we created our own separate rooms and spaces so we could each do our own thing and it’s helped immensely. So try to carve out your own space, if you can, as well as your husband.

It's official. I am officially regressing. I bought an enormous 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide stuffed teddy bear online yesterday for our apartment. A co-worker gave me a large stuffed teddy bear several months back and it's sitting in our spare bedroom, so I figured, why not? This bear needs a buddy and it's adorable!

Yep - Ok. I seriously think I may be losing it!!! I am nearly 50 years old!!!! LOL!

I have been shopping online lately a LOT as therapy. I've bought clothing, I've bought jewelry, and now a stuffed bear?? My husband even chipped in and bought me jewelry yesterday, in knowing that I've been depressed lately being cooped up at home.

But I've got to get a hold of myself. I am not overspending at all, I am spending within my means, but still... I feel like a shopaholic! I already have strong shopping tendencies, which have now only increased tenfold since this virus has kept us locked indoors.

I guess it's my coping mechanism and a way for me to cheer myself up. I tell my husband that it's like getting gifts in the mail, when they finally arrive, one by one. And it DOES cheer me up!!

How is everyone else coping with this???

In my state, we're not in "lockdown" per se since we're able to leave our apartment, drive around to different places and get takeout at restaurants, etc, walk the beach and there's no curfew or anything. But still, it's making me absolutely insane. I am sure I am not the only one going nuts right about now.

I guess that today is like every other day since this crisis started. I'm fortunate to have a job to go to and I feel pretty guilty about it at times. I feel bad for so many who are not fortunate at this time. I'm just wishing that it would hurry up and get back to the way it was! It's hard enough that there are those who are suffering emotionally even when times were good.

Last night I went for a very long walk around 8 pm. The city was desolate. I only saw 10 people during the 2.5 hours I was out. When I passed a few people on the side walk, they walked out onto the grass, to avoid me. Their behavior gave me the impression that I was carrying a plague with a 99.99% mortality rate.

Agreed -- it's a good thing to remember to be grateful and to count your blessings. I feel badly for those less fortunate as well.

Oh yeah... it's very strange alright. It's very surreal. Like we've stepped into an alien planet.

I been trying to keep myself busy. I started on a home projected that I had started three years ago. Now I am currently trying to work on my mental health by watching lots of self help video.

This is two years old threat. It popped in my notification and I thought it’s about war in Ukraine that he is watching news about. I see this is about lockdown in 2020.
