What have you learned about being inside?

What's something you know now that you wish you had known earlier in your sojourn inside?

I've been fairly housebound since 2016, though I was swapping between 2 houses. I enjoyed grocery shopping, the cinema and eating out at places nearby for lunch.

So now I'm just in the one house. I'm not allowed to grocery shop because I am at risk because of my chronic illness but not recognised as vulnerable to shop in the early hours when the shop is cleanest. I really miss eating out and I'm sort of terrified my favourite places won't reopen.

It sucks that grocery shopping is a catch-22 where you can't do it when it's cleanest because you're not obviously sick enough, but you're too sick to do it the rest of the time. Invisible disabilities suck rocks.

I almost wish there was a chronic illness card that I could flash in those situations..and also so it would be easier to claim my free flu shot
