Australian covid restrictions

...See more Hi. I guess I was looking to chat/message with other Aussies. I think Australia and New Zealand have been lucky to avoid the things that have affected other countries. Now that domestic travel is limited and major areas are in partial or full lockdown I am finding it hard. I think people in Europe and the Americas have had it far worse but it seems it is really affecting us more now and the media is filled with reports. Again, I think overall we are fortunate to be in Australia. I have experienced two lockdowns and two self quarantines (the last self quarantine returning home from Melbourne was harder then a lockdown as I was stuck home alone for two weeks and not able to go to get food or out for a walk). I know people in other countries and people in Melbourne have experienced worse but it is causing me distress (and yes I am trying to limit watching and reading the news to twice a day).

...See more I am new to this site and recently turned 50. I live in country Australia a few hours from a major city which can be isolating and lonely (but made worse with travel restrictions related to keeping our state covid free). It's Winter here with very cold weather. I have a few health issues essentially depression, anxiety and agrophobia. I struggle to leave my bedroom even though I have a large house. Exercising (going for a walk) and doing things would help me as would someone to chat with or message. I guess I was hoping to find a couple of people to message with, make friends, set goals and hopefully feel more motivated to go out and do more things alone.
