To feel like I’ve hit a wall

[checkedcloth]

I’m feeling utterly fed up. I know there are so many threads of a similar vein, but I really do need to let this out somewhere.

I’m exhausted, am a nurse and have been working so many long hours, responding to Covid.

I’m tired of lockdown, tired of the house being a tip, tired of Groundhog Day.

We were hoping to move house next year. I have been wanting this move for years. I can’t help but think it’s going to be impossible to move in a deep recession. That will be such a blow to something I have been yearning for.

There is little joy at work and little joy at home.

I hear you! Not a key worker but can imagine how stressful it is right now for those that are. I've worked for the NHS before and know how stressful that can be during "normal" times. God knows what you must be going through right now. Please remember this too shall pass. You WILl have many times of joy again both at home and work

WILL not WILI

I get it. Two essential workers here soooooo bored of work, home-schooling, stress, repeat. With no holidays, meals out or fun to break it up.

I feel the same, OP

Groundhog Day 100%. It has hit me like a tonne of bricks this week after feeling relatively ok beforehand. I’ve cried twice today. Just letting you know I feel the same way. And I feel incredibly grateful to you for being on the frontline through this shitstorm!

With regards to your house move, you never know what’s round the corner. Fingers crossed you can still move next year.

Same. I’m in house moving limbo too. Plus 12 (or however many it is now) weeks of isolation (apart from hub school shifts) Is wearing.

Thank you all for your kind replies. I’m sorry you are all feeling it too. I also have felt fine until this week, and have come crashing down.

Suspect this wet grey weather is not helping either !
