I feel overwhelmed with everything that's happened

[orientalknife]

When first lockdown hit I went into determined, positive mode. Threw myself into home schooling and then I set up my own business that's had a degree of success

I've gone from being a SAHM for years to being super busy. I have less focus for my family but that's normal I know with a new business

I have so much to be thankful for. I just suddenly feel like I miss life before covid. It was simpler for sure.

How do you feel? Have things changed for you?

Yeh I hate this new life. I am busy wi FB constant work and I miss even the most annoying of colleagues. I miss buying overpriced coffee and having a poke around the shops and sitting in a cafe, without ever having to worry. But that’s life I suppose, just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Im really hardly out now, don't see the point. The crowds and constant queuing I really cannot cope with. I miss browsing in bookshops and the library. Our library is still only click and collect. I hate shopping, cafes all seem to be packed and I hate feeling under pressure to vacate a table. This summer I think I will spend a lot of time at home. I went out for lunch today, restaurant absolutely mobbed. Felt the lunch was meh and the noise.....
