I am usually a busy person. I work in a demanding career, have an 18 month old a house to manage, and although I struggle to see the positive side of things I still manage to keep myself happy.
However, these days everything just seems to be utter misery. There is only so much housework a person can do without going mad. I am furloughed so I have no work at home. My entire social media feed is filled with BLM posts (which is important, but my god its depressing to witness) or coronavirus posts or pictures of people back visiting their family. I have no family in this country so the likelihood of me seeing them anytime soon is low. I dont want to give up social media as it's my only contact with the works but it's become so depressing. The news is just one angry disappointment after another. I am also 20 weeks pregnant and havent had one nice moment of pregnancy (unexpected pregnancy so I just panicked, told family over video chat and havent seen anyone since, DH cant go to any scans, severe morning sickness throughout lockdown, no idea what crazy world this baby is being born into). I do nothing, see nobody bar DH and DD, and I am utterly miserable. My DH is happy to play video games or read and doesnt seem phased by anything.
I need help. I need suggestions about how to get myself going again. I cant keep sitting on my couch being this miserable but I have no idea how to help myself. I usually have friends, playgroups, work, little decor projects. Now I have nothing. Anyone have any suggestions?
