I'm 50 and have always thought of myself as resilient and able to cope with whatever is thrown at me. I've always dealt with stresses by finding a way to solve the problems I have some control over and learning to let the others go. I exercise daily, which helps. Throughout the "full" lockdown I counted my blessings, abided by the rules and made the most of things.
I didn't actually mind the lockdown, I could cope with that but I'm finding this relaxation really hard. The way everyone is interpreting the rules differently (to suit themselves) the infighting about whose fault it is about restrictions being tightened, the prospect of going "backwards".
I have quite a senior position and am responsible for the employment of around 120 staff. Usually, I take that in my stride, even though people are capable of doing the most ridiculous things but I'm finding trying to comply with the rapidly changing government advice really very challenging.
I'm worried about my DCs' career prospects. They're both fresh out of education and had secured excellent positions but they're not looking so good now.
I'm really struggling to find a balance between being "sensible" and actually living a bit.
And this is me, who generally just gets on with it and sees the positive in things.
The MH of the nation must have absolutely gone to pot.
