I have never been so bored until now. The only way my family gets out the house is by going to “Sonic” to go get a drink or snack. It is ridiculous that we can’t even go anywhere. Everybody is literally bored out of the minds and I think my mom is going to lose it if she is in quarantine any longer.
I am honestly surprised that my family has made it this long without any major meltdowns from and of the kids or the adults. I think the only activities that are keeping us sane are coloring with chalk in the driveway, going on walks, playing board games, and dancing to music. Thank God for Music. If my sister didn’t have her music, she might have had a lot of tantrums and outbursts. These activities have kept my family entertained and far away from tantrums.
Even though me and my family have all of these activities to keep ourselves occupied, I still find myself battling my intrusive thoughts. It is very frustrating because I am stuck in the house and I can’t escape them as much I could when we weren’t quarantined. Before, I was able to go to my friend’s house and escape some of my thoughts. Sometimes if feel trapped in my own mind and I feel like I can’t escape it.
I am hoping that quarantine is over soon because I don’t know how much longer anyone is going to be able to stay inside. I don’t mean just my family I mean other families and friends who can’t see each other and they are missing those family moments. We also need to pray for those who are in the hospitals because they can’t see any of their family while they’re sick. Let’s pray that these people push through Covid-19 and get better.
