Coping with Covid-19

Being alone is no problem for me.

I have hundreds of books and DVDs to keep me busy.

My worry is food.

If I get the government letter ordering to self isolate for 12 weeks, then I'm dead.  I've only got four weeks of food in my flat.

The government warns us not to panic buy and then advises us to stay indoors at home for 12 weeks.

We need to panic buy to enable us to survive isolated at home for 12 weeks!

The supermarkets an issue as we were running low in the house then went into isolation as I'm quite ill. Their not testing so I've just got inhalors and 7 tablets a day! I'm up now at 3.30 as I'm struggling to breath again but it seems to be improving. I've been ill for about 2 weeks now! It would be good to know if I have covid as I can help others when I'm better. I had a head injury and didnt realise that made me more susceptible to illness. What ever I have it's awful. Want this over :( 

I hope you feel better soon. There's an online NHS 111 survey with Covid-19 related questions, which then gives you the specific advice you need to follow. I know it's not a diagnosis, but I did the survey when I had a fever and found it helpful.

Take care of yourself. 

It sounds like that was all really tough to deal with. Please don't apologise - we all need to talk sometimes. 

I'm really glad you're feeling more positive today. Hope you feel better soon xx

Update, I'm alot more positive today. I've found that if I lay still, propped up on pillows and my heat mat on my back and drink loads and dont talk. It helps tonnes. Still struggling but loads easier than yesterday. Sorry I was a moaner xx

Sorry that posted before I finished. Breathing has been such hard work, I've not slept properly in days. I asked if I was panicking also or a chest infection as the breathing issue comes in waves. He thinks it's the virus but they only test on icu. He listened to my lungs etc said I'm healthy enough to fight this at home. I cried was almost at meltdown but knew its be even harder to breath. I'm so tired right now. I've been indoors around 2 weeks. Online shopping has been hard, getting an emergency inhalor from the pharmacy after being told none of us could leave the house was hard as they told me to collect it myself regardless. Sorry to moan I'm not coping. Breathing is alot better today so if it is the virus I'm winning. I'm asthmatic so I guess it's why I'm so bad. I tried ordering plants online as it's my special interest but online shopping has become impossible. Everything's wrong right now
