I feel for you, and for the thousands of other small businesses gasping for breath everywhere.
Come on man, we are a community and these are unprecedented times. The ability to show a bit of support for one another, confined completely within one thread, shouldn’t be stretching your “leniency”. What are you, some kind of Mega City Judge? I understand the forum rules and why they’re there but there exists such a thing as nuance at certain times.
I am autistic and usually spend much of the day alone while the kids are at school; even a trip out to the shops can be mentally exhausting. So my mental capacity for hobby time is rapidly dwindling...once the kids are in bed it seems to be taking me at least an hour to settle down and chill enough to do anything, if at all.
In this particular case, I just fail to see how HRH's affliction with the virus is relevant to our interest, as compared to Antonio's very real and pressing plight which is well within the scope of this thread. Just keep it confined to the forum and within reasonable parametres.

I say old chap, in light of current events, a better turn of phrase may have been more appropriate.
Good point. I hope the sentiments will be taken at their intended worth, not as clumsily expressed.
I am in a bit of a similar situation (not as bad as you by the ways it sounds). With everyone home I am exhausted by the end of the day. I have been taking the odd paint break in the morning before everyone gets too busy. I have tons of books but I can't focus to read and I have been trying to build up some energy by playing Hearthstone Battlegrounds and tuning everyone out.I hope you find a way to build up some energy during the day and keep yourself on an even keel
It's have been eight days since the quarantine was declared in Spain. I am mentally exhausted. Not by being confined, that is the lesser of my worries, but for the uncertainty about the economy. I know some people will think I am selfish by being worried for my business in the middle of a pandemic, but the truth is that I am rapidly becoming broke. I have loans that I won't be able to pay -my partner and I were planning on sales to meet our payments-; and those loans were taken using our income and house (my business partner's, as I have no property) as collateral. We already default in March, and April will default too. One of the worst things is that in one of the loans we were five months shy of paying it in full. I can't sleep if I don't take sleeping pills... The worst part is the impotence. I don't know what to do to make the business viable. I try to work through our website, but sales are stagnated. People fear for their jobs, their income, their future. They are not predisposed to spend money on such luxury items like action figures and toys. I haven't felt so mentally exhausted since my wife died eleven years ago.
I really feel for you Antonio. I live near Malaga in the campo and it all seems a bit surreal - completely peaceful outside (no planes flying, very few cars passing on the road that's about a kilometre from our house) whilst I know that in a Malaga hospital one of my friends is a nurse at the region's hub hospital for Covid-19 and she's more tired by the day. What does your shop sell? What's the web address?
