    Restrictions will keep happening if people don't listen tbh. Everyone is saying no more lockdown but it's people behaviours causing increase and the lockdown. Country is full of idiots tbh... covid cases wouldn't be so high if people gave a shit and listened. Everyone saying they want it to be over but aren't doing their part to end it..it won't ever end if people keep having that attitude of well if Boris did it then we can. Will just be in and out of restrictions forever and a lot of deaths that could have been prevented but nobody seems to care unless it's about themselves when it comes to covid

    I think it’s just personally very difficult to follow rules and guidance from someone who categorically Denis having any Christmas alerts despite a wealth of evidence. I’m not saying we don’t go into another lockdown Because I know we will … I work in a hospital I know what it’s doing but I can also understand why some people don’t want to follow rules from someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time and allows his own colleges and friends to break the rules
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    This will never get better if people don't do their part to keep others safe. Death will keep increasing and so will cases if people don't do anything about it...if that's what people want then so be it.. seems nobody gives a shit about community, helping others etc anymore. Just seems everyone is selfish and only care about themselves now. So many people are dying and their deaths could be prevented by people giving a shit about covid and following rules. Just because one person does wrong doesn't mean 2 wrongs make a right. If everyone does wrong we will be in lockdown for a very long time to come.

    Think it’s unfair to say that everyone is selfish and only care about themselves, there’s many me included that go above and beyond in supporting people both personally and professionally on a day by day basis.

    It's not a unfair opinion at all. because so many people aren't doing their bit but the first to cry when something happens. I go above and beyond with helping others right now but I could probably find something more to do to help.

    Not for those who lose their life after the hands of those who are selfish.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because government did wrong, doesn't mean public should to. More public do wrong, more lockdowns we will have and the country will lose even more money

    It’s not selfish to look after yourself. I don’t know the rules. But I do know that staying in this house with my mum will make me go insane

    Morning

    I guess the thing with covid now is, it’s not going anywhere. And new variants tend to be milder each time, especially with vaccination. I will do what I can to protect others, I’m going for my booster on Tuesday, I had the flu vaccine done privately, I will happily wear my mask. But there are certain things that are very damaging to mental health, like for example not seeing family etc. I can’t put myself through that again and my family all feel the same. I don’t think that’s selfish.

    The covid news is a massive stresser for me right now and the thought of another lockdown where I can’t see my family and my partner for months on end is really hard. It’s contributing to my mental health going really downhill right now. Maybe I am selfish, I literally don’t care about not being able to go to parties, but I’m not isolating myself again.

    Hi all,

    @Millie2787

    How cute. Thanks for sharing the photo of your dogs! What are their names? :)

    Oh dear! Does ginger hair suit you at least temporarily though? I mean it does give your hair a nice change after all =)

    It seems @Shaunie did in fact move pets to the pets thread <3

    @GreenTea

    Sorry, no. I was asleep! How are you feeling this morning? Do you still want to talk through your thoughts and feelings? If so, I am here with full elf ears ready to listen <3
