Anyone nervous about lockdown restrictions ending?

Kit McDaydream

So Boris is gonna make a speech on Sunday about lifting some restrictions. Anyone nervous about what this will mean for expectations to return to daily struggle of 'fitting in' and going out.

I hope the 'bubble thing' happens but is more restrictive than 10 or clearly not more than 2 households (regardless of how many live in each household - my closest family members also live alone so technically that's only 3 of us)  so I can see close family without the expectations of having to meet up socially again with other 'acquaintances'?  (who want to see me more than I want to see them)

    I will actually be relieved, because lockdown is like someone else in control and making me very anxious.  Plus , my routine and my work had to change and all of this has been harder and my work days longer and depressing.   I've had food anxieties, shopping difficulties,  financial issues and family ones too. 

    However, I am dreading someone more extrovert suggesting a lot of catch up socialising, such as all the missed birthdays etc.  Just let it go!  my dentist isn't  going to examine me twice to make up for the cancelled check up!    I guess this is something that all introverts will experience and not just autistic ones.  I need to get back into social things slowly as well as feel safe.  

    But since there are 5 workdays and 2 weekend days every week, the first issue is weighing more heavily than the second, so I hope for some normality and the end to all this rotten videoconferencing.
