Rae is feeling emotionally numb after many months of lockdown.
Rae: Hi it’s Rae Burton checking in.
Well hello. We’re still locked down.
I’m still a little concerned but I don’t actually seem to be feeling anything. I don’t feel happy, I don’t feel sad, I don’t-I don’t feel anything.
I just really do feel numb, and I’m having trouble concentrating which is annoying. I keep forgetting where I am when I talk. I’m worried I might be going completely mad you know. In lockdown, in solitary confinement as I am. You know I’ve seen the carers during four times a day, certainly I do but starting to feel dodgy you know. Cos I don’t feel, happy, sad, angry.
Everyone says, ‘oh I’m miserable’ and this and that. I’m not miserable. I’m not anything, just blank like.
