[QUOTE="Suzypooh77, post: 2265373, member: 440163"] I’m 42, been diabetic type 1 for 22 years, I never got a letter to self isolate but been furloughed since 22/03/20 from work and week before that from uni, just had a call to say I’m back at work June 2nd, as a diabetic I could continue to be furloughed but my mental health is my concern right now and stuck at home alone as my hubby does 12 hour shifts 5 days a week as an essential worker has affected me a lot, I have Asperger’s and BPD and it has been a real struggle to keep it all together, but I finished my 2nd year of uni at home successfully and decorated my whole flat to keep busy. The virus hasn’t really concerned me, I know I’m susceptible as my diabetic control is frankly awful, the longer I’ve had it the worse it’s got and I honestly just don’t care any more. If I live I live and if i die I die. Simples and on to the next great adventure. I’m originally from Belfast Northern Ireland and one thing I learned growing up is you can’t live your life afraid to be alive, yes there is a chance that the next time you go out there might be a bomb or you might catch the virus and die, or you might get hit by a car or have a heart attack or a million other things but in my opinion only God decides those things. When I was younger I used to try and kill myself all the time, many times, it’s part of my BPD, but it never worked no matter how hard I tried. So I know unless God decides that’s it, you’re stuck here. So if you do die of the virus it was your time anyway band if it wasn’t that that got you it would be something else.
