Cabin fever.......Anyone else?

Bobbi sue · ‎04-25-2010

It's a blizzard outside. I have been cooped up in this house for day except for yesterday when my son took me out for a while. I am stuck inside today again. Does anyone else have cabin fever? How long til spring? Thank you.

No, we left the Midwest two years ago because of the never ending winters. I've been gardening and buying pansies and my local nursery.

Hi Bobbisue. Yes, cabin fever crazy. We were supposed to have 48 degrees and sunshine this weekend. The entire city was excited. Didn't happen. So disappointing. Spring will come - slowly. What's the George Harrison song -- Here Comes the Sun -- "...it's been a long, cold, lonely winter..."

Bobbisue - Yes, this is getting old. We are supposed to have freezing rain tomorrow, sleet and then 2-4 inches of snow. But supposed to be 40 later in the week. There is so much snow everywhere it will take lots of time to all melt.

But as bad as this is, I would not be happy in Fl. as I dislike the hot weather more. My brother moved to Fl. 18 yrs. ago and is moving back to Ohio this spring.

I have serious cabin fever. This is the first year I have hated winter. A bird flew into one of our windows and broke it. The poor thing died.

I keep on dancin'

Hi Bobbisue. I have cabin fever, big time! Ct. is slated to get another storm tomorrow! Stay safe and warm everyone.

My soon-to-be 92-year-old mother is suffering fom big-time cabin fever. She is unsteady on her feet and fears walking to her condo's mailbox in front of her house, so she stays home. I begged her to call her next door neighbors to ask them to get her mail but she's too proud. Instead, she drives out of her driveway to her mailbox, hoping to be be able to reach her mail. She refuses to call the supermarket that delivers. Rather, she is going through her freezer to heat up foods she doesn't want. I will spend a week with her next month, once we're out of snow danger, and figure out how she can stay in her condo, eat properly, and stay safe. She has the money to bring in help but is too cheap, yet it's at the point where she must acknowledge her safety issues. I have my work cut out for me.

I don't have cabin fever issues, mainly because West Virginia winters are generally 4 long, hard months anyway, and it just is what it is. I enjoy staying home anyway, and never tire of being home; whereas my husband hates to stay home, and must get out to see and talk to people at least a few times a week.

Nope! I've been forced into staying in from many things over the years and since I love "our heaven", have never felt "boxed in/cabin fever". When my body doesn't work well I use my mind thus no monotony, when my mind doesn't work well I use put my body through more challenging workouts.
