To look way worse than this time last year

I was looking back at photo memories on my phone of this time last year. I'd just had a baby, still had the pregnancy tummy and was sleep deprived and yet I feel like I looked ok!

Now, I have suddenly aged so much. I've lost the tummy but am generally feeling big and clunky. My hair is rubbish, as is my skin and I look far more tired. Is this having a toddler, hitting the wrong side of 30 or has the pandemic done this to me?

YABU: I look the same or better than this time last year.

YANBU: 2020 has not been kind to me!

I've aged a lot this year. I look 10 years older than I did 5 years ago.

For those who voted bu, has covid given a health kick?

I now look like my mother Sad
I’m 39 and see the face of a 69 yo in the mirror. Flat hair. Big black circles round my eyes. Jowls and droopy eye lids

I never thought I looked amazing but I did look my age (or near ish) and I didn’t look dire.

2020 has been brutal!
