The Virus

[Ratatoskrr]

Its the exact opposite for me, as a young person who went quite a lot before COVID it ended up with me being in a pretty dark place on terms of substance and alcohol abuse. The lockdown gave me an opportunity to clean myself up, I've slowed down on drinking quite heavily and have basically been drug free since August last year. Got a job and moved out of my parents house to live independently.

Of course I'm looking forward to going out again, but ultimately this lockdown ending will lead to mentally ill people not dealing with their situation in a good way in my opinion.

The lockdown has just effected me better than it did to most people I guess.

Big props to you mate, glad to hear you're drug free! Congrats on the house as well man, huge achievement! <3

I myself have struggled a fair bit this lockdown, my stepdad being extremely vulnerable has left me feeling paranoid whenever I leave the house to go to work in public, worrying that I'll be bringing something home to him. My rent has double as my stepdad isnt working due to him shielding and staying at home just makes you feel like shit. The only silver lining is that I know my household is doing our bit to help ease the strain on the NHS
