I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I just keep snapping at everyone- dh, dc, some woman who rang and got the wrong number. I hate myself but I just keep doing it. Does anyone else ever get like this? I just want to be a nice, calm, sunny person but I just feel irritated by everyone and everything! Not sure if it’s hormones, pandemic fatigue or miserable old bag syndrome!

Yep! It's all Covid /pandemic related.
We don't trust anyone outside our own home anymore.

Watch the new Tom Hanks film called A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood. All about a really nice man on us kids tv called Mr Roger's.

It's all about kindness. I think you might find some balm for your soul in it.

It just feels like groundhog day every day. There’s no nice surprises or adventures in life anymore. Everyone is on edge, waiting to see what number the government is going to slap on them, how much freedom they’re going to be permitted. I should be grateful I have a job and a family and I am but every day is the same, people being selfish, so much stuff to do, never enough money, I just feel like going to sleep for a few years and not having to deal with life or people.

Pandemic fatigue - I'm doing it too and I hate it, I'm usually really sunny and gentle and optimistic and at the moment I'm an absolute miserable cow!!

Oh no! I'm sorry that film wasn't for you. I'll need to suggest a different Tom Hanks filmSmile
