We'll Get Through This

Can't seem to get any pictures to load. But....

I've been getting lots of emails - and comments - about the lack of ability to "take care of business" as it were. Some because there's a lack of privacy, some because of the stress of the entire COVID-19 situation. Depression is setting in; for some, like Rick, it's depression on top of depression.

Some, like RAD, who work from home have found it even more difficult and exhausting than actually having to go into an office each day. The increased number of calls and interruptions to the normal workday have increased, having an accumulative effect both mentally and physically, leaving them no time or energy.

Folks, we must make time for ourselves. Take as many breaks as you can; get up from the computer, stretch, roll the shoulders and walk around the house for a few minutes.

As I suggested to RAD, go to bed early. Relax, clear your mind. Give your cock some playful tugs and strokes. Put your focus on the sensations.

One young guy is being embarrassed by his mom with her constant snide remarks; the increased use of paper towels, then the condition of washcloths in the laundry. (Here's a hint regarding washcloths: Rinse them out before you drop them into the hamper.)

If you don't live alone, and you feel you must hide the the fact you're jacking off, I have to urge you to find the place and make time to take care of yourself. You deserve it. You owe it to yourself. If someone is trying to embarrass you about it, wave it off. Laugh about it.

Whatever your situation, don't let it interfere with your mental or physical well-being.

As Jean has said, "Take care of yourself. Stay safe." We'll get through this.

Very good post even without pictures. I'm trying to get into the habit of deep breathing, and just yesterday I found a really nice YouTube on meditation. Getting into the habit is the hard part.

All good advice! It's the one constant I have.

If we'll get through the lockdown, what you said will be true.
Wise advices, anyway.

The home custody (home confinement) may be imposed against the perpetrators of criminal offences.

The stay at home is different. Why? Because it's not the same words. If not what else? Isn't it enough different?

Psychologists and other psychiatrists have never had so many patients suffering from nervous breakdowns.

That is not normal, we have been all trained and predisposed to undergo a prolonged confinement in our mother's belly during the nine months which preceded our birth.

Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.

Some good advice for sure. People need to relax and take breaks. Have you heard about the interest in giving men estrogen to combat the virus? Who comes up with this stuff? At this point it sounds like everything is just a big experiment. In my opinion that doesn't sound like a good way to experiment with someone's health.

Thanks for posting, even without the pictures. You are always a positive influence, and we certainly need all the positive we can get these days. Stay safe and healthy.

We missed it: the international dance day is celebrated on April 29 every year
Bisous.

I am making sure I have some time for myself every day. Yeah, that means I’m jerking off daily.
I’ve discovered all kinds of things that turn me on and I was not even aware of them!

Yay me?

Not being able to release on a regular basis only adds more stress to a stressful time. I agree that it is important to take care of ourselves in every way so we can care for others.

Amen, brother. I agree with all that you said. Attitude and perspective - things that we chose - are very important to keep our spirits up. Thanks for all you do in keeping out spirits and out cocks up! Wishing you all the best. Wishing you a super duper day! Hugs, Licks, and Strokes, AOM

If getting snide remarks about laundry do your own or volunteer to do it all. In Africa guys do their own laundry.

"number of calls and interruptions to the normal workday have increased" - the section leader in the office where i worked, early-1970s, if needing to concentrate on a piece of work, would just say "i'm not here for the next half an hour" (or an hour, or whatever) and we knew not to interrupt him except for any genuine emergency. Maybe folks who are having to work from home could find this useful ?

@ Rick - Good idea. I hope you form the habit quickly.

whkattk said...

@ Sixpence - That's perfect! And, you're right, what a great time to discover new things.

Rad said...

Great advice as always! Thank you!

whkattk said...

@ Rad - I hope some of those suggestions help.

We have no issues here. In fact, we have a special laundry bin just for the cum towels. After all, there are three of us. - Dad
