To be fed up?

[Tired111000]

In a very lucky situation where me and my partner have retained our jobs and salaries and have less outgoings because of not having to pay childcare and travel. We both have understanding employers and have spent the last 5 weeks with our kids who are over the moon at having an nonstop freetime with their parents at home.
Since the beginning of this year we have lost more than one very close family member, but we have memories and photos and had a chance to say goodbye which is more than a lot of people who are losing relatives have at the moment.
It's great spending so much time with my family, but I'm just fed up. I want a rest. Everything is tiring and I want to sleep for a month with no distractions.
I guess I hope people will say IABU to give me the motivation to snap out of this.
The coronavirus situation is just going on and on and on and I want some space. We are so lucky that we are healthy and have food on the table, but I'm still fed up.

I guess everyone's misery is relative to them so in that case YANBU. In the general scheme of things compared to some your life is pretty good but that's not going to change how you feel.

I think it’s fine to have a moan, it’s the most curious situation we’re in and I think, even if you’re in a much more fortunate position than others, it can still be very stressful.

I can’t empathise, my dh is still working as normal, so I get a lot of downtime alone, but I think the cracks may son start appearing.

I imagine a lot of posters in a worse off situation are going to come and tell you yabu!

I'm very optimistic that it won't last beyond may... seeing other countries loosening up, I feel like we would probably worry about our economy too... I'm bored too, i really miss the office I miss everything, i miss ppl, I'm bloody bored

YANBU, OP.

We're very fortunate, we're both WFH, no money worries, we love the peace and quiet, no real problems getting what we need from the shops, we like the fact that the air quality is markedly better, we've decided we think queueing to get in the supermarket is worth it for the pleasure of it being almost empty when you get in there, I'm not bored and have enjoyed being able to read loads - I feel very lucky, compared to many people.

But the last couple of days, I've been fed up too. I'd like to just do something spontaneous, have a coffee at a beach cafe we like, a pint in a pub, go out for breakfast, and for the first time today, I found working from a laptop - on my lap, as DP needs the picnic table desk more than me - and not being able to print anything or just chat through a case with a colleague bloody infuriating.

I gave myself a bit of a talking to and counted my blessings, but I'm still a bit fed up. But I'm also resigned to the possibility that this could go on for several weeks yet. My boss said she felt the same yesterday, so maybe this is just how the 6th (7th? can't even remember) week of lockdown feels.

I suppose we can't change it, so we have to suck it up and get through it. And have a or a .

A lot of people's lives have got harder. Some are harder than others. It's a difficult time and it's OK to not find it easy. Some perspective from knowing it's worse for others might help a bit but doesn't mean we should all be ok when we're not.

Today is the first day I've begun to despair, whingy miserable unsatisfiable child, a filthy house I can't be arsed cleaning, crap weather plus the obvious. Spent the afternoon binge eating Ice cream and lard, then pulled my shit together, threw DD6 who is far too big for her pushchair as a large 6 year old (thank fuck for Out n Abouts), put DDog in her waxed jacket and powered round town in the rain. I feel much calmer now and am focusing on getting my diet and exercise back on track tomorrow. .Life is pretty wank at the moment.

I get you OP. Another lucky one here, working from home, still getting full pay, understanding employer, able to split childcare with DH. Big house with garden. Low risk so able to get out for daily exercise. I know I'm very fortunate.

But I've also been feeling the 'Corona fatigue' over the past few days. Got irrationally annoyed at the Aldi queue the other day, not sure why as I'd been resigned to it on previous trips. Feeling exhausted every day because I'm finding wfh combined with childcare of two small DC draining. Missing me time very much. Missing seeing other people who are not ny family. Missing life as we used to know it.

Think a lot of people I know have been feeling this way. Yes, I am grateful every day I wake up and am still healthy...but it's entirely ok to feel like this too. Seems to have been a bit of a shift in the Mumsnet hive mind too as there are far less posters shouting 'people are dying and you're moaning about being bored!' in response to any perfectly reasonable posts about struggling with the lockdown.

I just wish I knew when this will all be over. I do get that this isn't possible though.

YANBU .. first day I've felt really down today ... I have t even got small kids ... DD is 23 and working from home ... DS back from uni and really missing it .. DH working from home too .... but I'm tearful today ... we are only human .
