    2 positive cases at my school now. I have not been affected at all but it is really scary with all the news. My year group have not been affected but it is stressful and scary.

    I think it's annoying that some people think don't affect people's breathing at all.
    Obviously for most people it's just a mild annoyance. But for certain people with existing issues it can really have an impact especially for long periods of time. Having a better mask can help ofc. And anything with physical exertion is worse.
    Not to say people shouldn't wear a mask if they can as they are an important part of the strategy that was chosen just like to say that people don't get affected at all isn't true.

    Isolating until 25th November now due to being in contact with someone at school with COVID-19. And I was supposed to be seeing the external exam assessor on Monday to see if I can be considered for extra time in exams. That's all routine gone for me and I was excited about Dance. :(

    My school's been part of the trial testing thing. It's slightly terrifying the number of asymptomatic cases that have been discovered. I keep joking about it and stuff because well the drama is kind of entertaining but when you actually think about it it's frightening. Someone who sits next to me tested weak positive today and their full results from the normal test comes back tomorrow. This on top of my A level mocks next week is just great :anguished:

    Seen so many people moaning about schools being open still..
    Sorry that your childrens education, mental well being and social time is important. Sorry for trying to keep some form of normality!!

    I just want this to end now :(

    I am happy we are getting a reprieve so I can finally see my family for Christmas - which I REALLY need. I preach the fact that holidays like this are true self-care days.

    But I just want to be able to work again, see my friends, go on dates...

    Hanging on to hope I don’t have to isolate for another 14 days only just got out of a different 14 day isolation. I’m doing alright but I don’t know how much more being alone I can take. Also so sick of people violating rules and regulations, like they don’t even realise we’re in lockdown. This is more serious than so many people think! So no I’m not complaining about maybe having to self isolate again because if it’s what I have to do then I’ll do it but I am a little sick of being trapped indoors and my negative thoughts are starting to re enter my life. But I’m gonna get through this no matter what, and hopefully I’ll be back to sixth form on Monday!! Got my fingers crossed

    Asymptomatic testing twice a week for work now. At least it’s the rapid ones so I can do it from home

    Being a keyworker is stressful enough without my family constantly inviting me round and I have to keep reminding them I’m not allowed to visit then they act like it’s my fault or that I’m making excuses. 

    Plus my parents split up so I get it from both sides, why don’t they understand that I don’t want to be fined or risk the clients at work??!!  the people I work with are 6 times more likely to have a really bad reaction to covid. 

    I went to uni for 4 years and they visited about 8 times. But now there is a global pandemic apparently they can’t go a month without me -_-

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Big virtual hugs to those of you spending Christmas on your own <3

    Try to do something for yourself like eat some nice food, watch a film you love or check in with friends/family via a video call.

    Remember, it's just another day and we'll be together again soon.

    I trusted my instincts and it saved a live and  It hasn't rale sunk in untill now. It's so important to follow your gut when it comes to these things. Please please if anyone close to you mentions suicide, don't let it slide, they are trying to tell you that they're not okay.
