I have upset quite a few others online, and on the phone, and I feel week - probably because of reduced Vitamin D levels. My knees are like a sixty-year-old's.
I'm a bird in a golden cage. It's beautiful, but still an enclosure.
Hi, Desmond. Sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment. Try not to be too hard on yourself - it's always unpleasant when you feel you've upset someone, but I'm sure that wasn't your intention - it's a stressful time and we all have our moments.
It might be worth getting your hands on some sources of vitamin D (e.g. oranges, fresh orange juice, or vitamin D supplements). If you're self-isolating, could you order these online, or ask a family member/friend/neighbour to leave some at the door? If you have a garden, you could perhaps spend some time out there each day (I don't have a garden, but I'm trying to get as much natural light and fresh air into the flat as possible).
Hope you feel better soon.
I went outside today and took my shirt off and basked in the sunlight for 5 mins. Not possible for everyone, but if you can, then do, for an instant lift me up.
Also dont worry about upsetting people. i do it all the time. its a occupational hazard of being blunt. it can also bring about great comedy at times.
I really dont do isolation, personally. i imaging this is how it is to serve time in prison, except the room is smaller and you might have company.
Thanks, Guys!
I'm feeling better, today. I made amends and got some supplies.
Glad you're feeling a little better
