Struggling with loneliness

Lockdown has been hard (yes I know its not just me) I've been feeling really lonley and depressed. I miss being able just to go to town and go for lunch. (again I know its trivial) but it was those things that kept me from loosing my mind. I've found being stuck at home hard there aren't many placed to go around here. When I've taken the kids out for a scooter ride I feel stressed because they don't listen.
 
I totally understand. Even though I hardly went out anyway but I enjoyed going to the Cafe for breakfast and going to a Gig now and then.
 
Thankfully, during the lockdown, I went to live with my parent's and I did not have to experience loneliness. My parents live in the countryside and it was very peaceful out there.
 
Loneliness is destructive, I wouldn't spend all day with loneliness even if I am constant with my PC. I enjoy being around with some friends, and sharing video game time with them too to keep the fun alive.
