Post lockdown life

Deleted User

It's only really been about 2 months since everything in my life has gone back to complete pre lockdown levels. I feel myself struggling with the pace of life and expectation again. I'm more aware of what makes me tick now, since I got my diagnosis during peak lockdown. It just feels like a run away train which won't stop and despite restrictions,  I prefered lockdown life, it was easier.

  • I read this as past lockdown. Which I suppose is the same thing. The absence of other people in enforced lockdown was wonderful. But then you realise more precisely that the sitution gives some freedom to be the real you. It was hard enough to relate to the casual dishonesty and prejudice and judgemental nature of other people in prelockdown life. You build coping mechanisms to hide behind and to conceal your true self as it battles against the basically hostile battleground of the everyday environment. Lockdown experience gave clarity about the harshness of other people's behaviour. How do you go back / passed that realisation?
