Are you upset?

Question

Are you upset about being stuck at home ? What upsets you most about being stuck at home during this quarantine?

Accepted Answer

What upsets me the most is people who don’t take it seriously and are out there fucking protesting and putting themselves, their families, and everyone else at unnecessary risk because they’re stupid assholes.

Answer

First off I don't think finding it upsetting or hard means we aren't taking it seriously. I get why we need to stay home and am following the rules. But yeah it's hard. I feel bad for my 2yo who doesn't get it. She asks everyday about seeing each of her grandparents. She has no concept of why she can't and it's sad. I'm worried about my grandpa. My grandma passed in January and how's he's all alone and not able to have visitors. People die of loneliness and that scares me for him. My mom will be spending her first Mother's Day without her mom alone because we can't be with her. Its upsetting

Answer

I miss my family and friends. My life is very difficult at the moment because I am expected to work from home and take care of my one year old who does not play independently and screams and cries if I give her toys and try to work. My depression and anxiety have ramped up significantly and it’s just getting worse, my daughter is frustrated we never take her anywhere and is too young to understand why. I’m tired of being told I should be grateful because I’m not sick and my loved ones aren’t sick. I’m tired of everyone acting like people’s mental health doesn’t matter. Everyone has become so judgmental of everyone else and anyone who says they are miserable is attacked for feeling that way. I’m not pretending I’m ok anymore and I don’t care what anybody thinks. My feeling are valid, everyone’s feelings are valid. The economy matters, it matters that businesses will never open their doors again. It matters that people are going to be homeless and extreme poverty is going to increase dramatically.

Answer

I feel lucky to be able to work from home. Sure I’m bored sometimes but I would never complain about it because there are so many people that don’t have a choice. I’d rather be bored than risk my health everyday.

Answer

I voted no because I am flattening the curve by staying home. I’ve settled and accepted that this will be how I will live my life for some time. The only thing that upset me was that I couldn’t physically see my partner, but we talk every day now on FaceTime.

Answer

I am upset about being stuck at home because I miss spending time with family and friends.  But at the same time I am ok with staying at home to prevent the spread and possibly getting anyone else sick or someone getting me sick.

Answer

I'm thankful that I'm safe at home with my family. I am upset at the current situation, yes. But I'm thankful to be at home with food, my health, my baby, my husband and internet, TV, etc. There could be much worse things. I think about people who lived during the 1918 flu and how they didn't have TV, facetime, internet, phones...they literally were stuck at home and not able to see their loved ones or have social media to stay connected. We are very fortunate. I'm also very fortunate to live a comfortable lifestyle and be able to work from home. So no, I'm not upset.

Answer

No. I am keeping myself and my family safe so what's there to be upset about? I am upset that protestors are spreading this virus by being ignorant and selfish. They need to realize that if they're in hospital beds, they're not making any money anyway. In fact, they're putting themselves in further debts. 
Also, if they're dead, it doesn't matter anyway, they're not going to be able to provide for their family. Their family will have to shoulder their medical bills and their funeral costs. It doesn't make sense to me why people are putting themselves and others at risk at this time.

Answer

I'm upset about being stuck at home but I'm still doing it. I understand it's necessary but parenting a toddler and preparing for a new baby with no interaction with my mom friends, no daycare, no help from the village of people that helped us out when my daughter was born -- it's upsetting. I don't like that my plans were all thrown out the window. I don't want this to be my son's birth story. I don't want to have to wait months to introduce him to his family. So yes, I'm upset, and frustrated, and tired of this. But I also wish people would take it more seriously so that we are more likely to be able to have some of our normalcy back in the coming months, whatever that may look like

Answer

Yes I’m upset I have to stay at home. I live with my boyfriend and we just got a new puppy but I’m upset. I lost the last semester of my college career, the one that is the last chapter of my education career I spent the last 16 years on, I missed my hockey banquet, I missed out on getting to say goodbye to my friends after graduation and I lost my graduation, the period at the end of the last sentence of the chapter. So yes, I am mad that I have to stay at home and teach myself the rest of my 6 classes that are now all online.
