It sounds like you have been through a difficult time. How is your recovery going? Are you at home now?
I think being in lockdown and so isolated can make us feel worse can't it? Do you have any hobbies or interests to occupy you? Personally, I love a good book for a bit of escapism!
A lot of our members are having similar feelings of being bored and lonely, and spending time chatting on here can help pass time. To get going, I'd recommend having a look through our recent discussions to see what has got us talking. Plus if you like games and light-hearted discussion, make sure to visit the virtual coffee lounge.
