We’re entering another lockdown. I just need to know when, where m, the rules and when it ends. End of. What I’ve got in my life is serious anxiety and exhaustion from all the adults ranting and talking at me about it like they are on prime ministers question time. I’m sick of being inundated with other people’s voices droning on with “their opinion”. I don’t have the brain space. I’ve been through 6 months of homeschooling with young kids and I’m tired. I really used to enjoy sharing a fun cup of tea with my best mate and a chat to ease life’s troubles but now she’s angry and rants all the time. Bang bang bang. Government. Statistics. Determined to get it heard that the govt are wrong. My husband then rants at me at any given moment. Delivering “his opinion” about the science like we’re in a lecture theatre. My entire family are the same. Go for a rare visit and I’ll inevitably be on the receiving end of “somebody’s opinion” of Brexit or the lockdown or viruses in China like everybody went to Cambridge and studied virology for 16 fucking years.
I just want to be left alone. Have nice chats about Great British bake off with smiley happy people.
Does anyone else have this? How do I get my loved ones to shut up. Before this it was Brexit so they’ve all got form for this.
It’s actually really getting me down because I feel like I’ve got to distance myself from my support system in order to protect my mental health
