Hi there Lizz in Scotland from Amanda in Durham!
I know what you mean about losing your get up n go, I am struggling too, but have found a few new acquaintances via Restless and had some good conversations and that has really helped me feel a lot more cheerful, I do hope you will experience the same once you have navigated your way around a bit.
There are some Facebook pages for various Rest Less groups as well which are also fun, are you on FB?
How is lockdown in Scotland, is it stricter than in England?
All the best,
Amanda

I think my got up and go got up and went! Having said that I am normally like this in the winter, do prefer the warmer longer days. Being a part of this community does help 🙂
Fingers crossed by the time the Spring and Summer arrive we will be able to get out more. Who knows my get up and go might just make a reappearance, lol

Was talking to my daughter about losing the get up and go as we both feel the same. It can be difficult to start doing things again once you stop but I’ve found to just start small and work up to it is better than trying to do too much and then giving up.

I feel very tired all the time. But make myself go for a daily walk, and a phone call a day helps too. I also enjoy positive things on Facebook. I listen to audiobooks and crochet or knit. Games on my iPad. Plenty to keep me occupied.

Hi Lizz, I’m the same I think it’s the weather. The bright crisp days are cold but refreshing for a walk and it certainly helps my mood once I’m out but if its wet dull etc it’s a No,No !However, I have been listening to motivational podcasts and they help.

get up and go has upped and walked, the wet here dont help somerset otherwise lovely part of country pat

I would say it’s time to learn a new hobby online, could be learning musical instrument, doing family tree, whatever takes your fancy as there’s so much out there, some of it is free. Online games are good fun, I play online scrabble with real people. Ideal time to do these things now when we’re so restricted. Keeping contact with phone calls is essential so we don’t feel isolated. We’re all in the same boat – hope that gives you food for thought.

I loved working from home initially but now it just feels like groundhog day, every day. Getting a bit of cabin fever, although I do go out most days with my dogs but miss my friends and family. Where has my social life gone lol x I knit and play games on my phone when I am not working plus binge on series on Netflix , but really getting bored of it all now.

I love coben p Cornwell and Patterson have you read any Karen Rose or tess gerittson don’t know why but I haven’t been able to read for over a year now before I’d read all day into the small hrs, going to try soon

Yes, I definately have. I’m normally very active and busy. Lockdown takes away excitement and spontaneity. There’s nothing much to do , nowhere to go. I am snacking out of boredom, and desperate to get out on my bike. I think we all need our freedom soon. The Pandemic will have repercussion s
for decades. -
Yes I think the same but I’m trying my hardest to get back on track n get that healthy fit feeling back
-
This lockdown has become seriously boring. The cold weather doesn’t help. I’m at the point of finding things to do to keep motivated – though not at the point of total boredom yet!
-
I find some days I get up and I am ok and then on another feel bleak.
The way I try to handle it is by going with the flow.
I don’t fight the emotions of the day. -

Yes, I definitely have get up and go problems. Having ME (post Covid) does not help.
I like to set myself at least one task per day to do, even if its something simple like tidying a cupboard, changing my bedding or making a phone call. Sometimes I amaze myself and all the jobs on the list.I wish I could go swimming, which has always been my preferred form of exercise. I know that would help.
However, recently since we started the Zoom coffee mornings and Supper club I thin my get up and go is returning! It helps when you have new friends to talk to each day.
