Anyone else anxious about getting back to normal?

Kit McDaydream

It's been announced shielding will end at end of July. Already I'm feeling anxious about the expectations I know will be coming to 'get back to normal', mainly people wanting to be able to visit. 

I can't even look at my phone incase they've seen the news in papers and texted me already talking about meeting up. I've felt more myself during lockdown with absolutely no social pressure than I've felt for years. As I've had no need to mask or use alters to deal with any face to face interactions with anyone.

Is anyone else getting this?

  • Thanks for answering. I'll be avoiding any shops it will be too visually confusing trying to follow arrows all over the floor and everyone in masks. I need to see people's faces to make sense of what they're saying.

    I still only go out to walk my dog really early when I can I get all the way round and back without seeing another person.

    I can't deal with the thought of people texting me wanting to visit as soon as govt says no more shielding and everyone can go out and have visitors. I won't even have the nurse in to take a blood test as she could be contaminated from other people's she visitied before she comes to my house.

    And the people likely to be demanding to come haven't been self isolating for the last 3 months. I'm just not comfortable with anyone in my personal space knowing they could be asymptomatic or got it from someone who was but not showing any symptoms yet at time of visiting me.
