I feel a little guilty too enjoying quarantine. My partner and I are both homebodies, and so we've enjoyed the extra time we have together.
It's also been doing wonders for my stress since we recently relocated to another country (can't avoid packing and doing stuff to get set up for another country if you're stuck at home.)
I definitely don't miss the traffic from my old commute at all.
I can see how if you're single and unemployed how the quarantine would be terrible for your mental health.
I was single and unemployed during quarantine, it was awesome. But then I got a job which is much better than my previous job and now things are even more awesome. But I've never had issues with handling stress, for me life is great even during great challenges. Big part of thriving right now is to resist going with the constant stream of panic-porn on social and mainstream media.
Same here, I'm lucky to go through this as the most peaceful time in my life. I exercise and meditate a lot, and enjoy long afternoons in the garden, watching the small life going on and prospering, in the calm of now nearly empty roads.
Could have been the opposite if I was single, unemployed, without a garden and without a dog I think.
We also bought a house last year. We have said how lucky we are. How we would be so miserable if we were still in the small apartment. We also had worked from
Home one or two days a week prior. Having a designated work space definitely helped.
We have a 2 year old daughter and working from home is a bit noiser but so much nicer. It's not perfect, but neither was going to the office.
We are doing shift work in my lab so I go in every now and then at night.
