Anyone else teary tonight

[StealthPolarBear]

It's not like me. It's just hit me.

I feel quite upset because I'm in my last year at college and it's now likely I won't see my tutors again. They have been a great support to me during my studies, and helped me a lot with my mental health.

I know it's nothing compared to the suffering other will be going through but it still hurts.

I struggled when my frail, 93 yo father (who I don't live near to) said I hope we can see each other again.

Oh yes :(
I felt sad waving to my parents who are mid sixties and reasonably healthy. Not because I'm seriously worried but I am mildly worried and tbh it might be months before I see them again in person.
for you

The only good thing about not having my parents anymore is the fact I don't need to worry about them during this.

Me 🙋‍♀️. Usually very stoical and “can cope with anything” type, but feeling very teary - in 14 day household isolation and haven’t met my brand new baby nephew and can’t comfort my sister who has just had a hard birth, mum is in the very highest risk category and lives alone; worrying about her. Sad for all the missed birthdays, missed school play, children are missing their friends a lot, our Easter holiday to Italy and France cancelled.

And then also knowing that for some people this will be much much more devastating: jobs lost, genuine poverty, and whether some people will ever recover.

to everyone feeling sad....

Sorry ssd. But also I know what you mean
