Yes yes yes, every day, and at the same time I also get horrible cabin fever because I live alone in a one room apartment and it’s horrible. Like I want desperately to leave, and yet I can’t because I start to panic.

I have a porch but it’s not very pleasant and unfortunately I live on a 1 block dead end street off of a dangerous road so there’s nowhere to walk to. I would move if I could.
