Is it normal to hate being cooped up at home?

Hey everyone. This Coronavirus situation has me bummed out. I’m a principals assistant during the day, and a janitor at night. In my spare time I like to hang out at a truck stop, or occasionally the emergency room of my local hospital. I’m rarely home. Now the school has closed, as has the office building I clean. The hospital has closed only to patients, and we’ve been told to stay home if at all possible making even a truck stop visit unsafe. I’m bummed out, and have been sitting at home watching my old VHS tapes of Saved by the Bell which is my favorite show. It’s only been a few days and I’m going nuts. I did go out to drive my trusty gremlin around and play some music but even that wasn’t satisfying. Is it normal to get this bummed having to be home?

    Absolutely, I need to rob a bank or shoplift from Walmart to feel sane again.

    Yeah being inside sucks, I'm losing it. I stocked up on a couple gallons of vodka weed and cigarettes but I'm screwed if this lasts more than another 3 weeks or so. Truck stops can be fun but in my experience those types of hangouts usually involve being really close to strangers in confined spaces

    Very normal. I can't stand being cooped up either, though my job is considered essential so I'm still working.

    I honestly have never been able to see how some people are completely fine being home all day and doing nothing but watching TV or playing video games. That would drive me absolutely nuts. Just being snowed in last winter made me feel like shit.

    If MeTV is a channel where you live, they play 'Saved by the bell" reruns on Sunday mornings (at least where I live).

    But anyways, MeTV is over-the-air so check your listings.

      I'm an AMC car mechanic, I'll judge accuracy if you want to ask more technical questions. What year is the car?

            I don't have all that.
            But I'll be fine.
            Customers have really dropped off.
            But I have savings and capable friends.
