my mum died in November (not of covid but it was on her death cert??), my long term relationship went to hell, I am in between homes, I am a late starter to driving and wanted to learn but can't.

feel so trapped.

am still living with ex. we are good but Jesus this is hard.

is it financial - the learning to drive bit?

agreed the rest sounds like it sucks shit

sorry for your loss btw

I'm there with you.

Last year sacked, this year hasn't started

Everything is wonky

Sorry you’re having a shitty time and sorry about your mum op xxx

thank you:)

@Custardo

no, sadly I have plenty enough money (not wealthy though!) and can't figure a way forward. Queues for driving lessons , few properties to rent on the market, etc. I am a renter by choice but Jesus things have shrunk!)

Sorry things suck so badly

i reckon one goal at a time. book the lessons despite the queues - somthing to aim for. something to achieve.

you are not alone. I’m floating between hellish pangs of anxiety at the moment. Everything is shit, we don’t have any spare money at all, and there is no way for it to get better but I have some hope that it will. Clouds always clear up at some point, they always do.

buy a (camper) van and you can live in it while you learn to drive

Sorry to hear about your mam and sorry things are so shit for you. If people copped on and refused the bull shit things would actually go back to normal.

thank you

been thinking about that camper van but I want to settle with a cat .

So you can buy a hous

*house?

life seems shit at the moment, hoping things improve big time soon.
Cats can manage a nomadic lifestyle, so go for the campervan. I would love one or a houseboat.

It's been a really shit year (more than a year now).

I'm really sorry about your mum

It's possible more people might move now things have opened up a bit. Hopefully suitable homes will become available. Some first time buyers were waiting for the stamp duty to end before buying. Perhaps now they can find an affordable less inflated buy - freeing up rentals for those looking to rent.

With the driving, i hope this might help to boost your motivation or confidence. A family member learnt in their 50s. It was harder, took more time to learn,. and she didn't pass first time - but she did it !

thank you! I haven't lived a very conventional lifestyle (in 40's now) but have experienced a good anoint of privilege so find it hard to complain. Still, this past year has upended me entirely. end of a relationship of 30 years. I guess it's all relative. there are worse off, but shit.

YANBU but no helpful advice
