I get it. Vast majority of my social interactions are through work. If it went away, Iâd be lost, and I have been in the past. With the tenacity you appear to have, Iâm sure it will be over soon and youâll be looking forward to your solo evenings and weekends with Gibson. Hang in there đȘ

Just canât shake the blues. No idea whatâs wrong specifically, just a grey cloud hanging over me.
I think the isolation might be getting to me. I donât normally speak to a friend more than once or so a fortnight.
Thatâs a big part of work for me. I miss being around people. I feel alive when Iâm around people. Iâm getting by on the fumes of an oily rag so going out and doing stuff isnât really possible.
Just gotta be patient.

I really relate to this. While Iâm off work Iâve somehow turned into someone who goes to the gym everyday (I am so not a natural exerciser), and part of that is just the benefit of being around people. Iâm only doing group classes so thereâs a bit of a community feel. And Iâm throwing myself into some existing volunteer stuff.
The cold weather is not helping.

Iâm a card-carrying introvert, but prolonged isolation (and lack of purpose) will definitely bring round grey clouds that are hard to shift. Permanent WFH was really shit for me in that regard. I could feel myself sinking a bit before I got my current jobs too, the break was nice at the start but then I started getting a bit loopyâŠ
Really crossing my fingers that something pans out for you very soon mate. Itâs been a while đ

The intermittently grey weather doesnât help. I know what you mean about work. I feel a bit disconnected from society without it. The people in this thread have been an essential part of me feeling more connected to people.
