Feeling tearful tonight

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

No clue why! I’ve had a nice week, children are well behaved and doing school work nicely, I’m not able to work so I’m pottering about, we’ve managed a walk in the local fields most days, DH is working and doing all the shopping/errands on his commute.

But tonight I just feel so weepy. DH is working late tonight so not here and ds1 has just brought me a cup of tea. I will probably go to bed soon.

Is anyone else feeling like this randomly?

Massive mood swings here as well. I'd been feeling ok for a couple of days, because my DH has almost completely recovered from whatever it was he had - flu or CV - we don't know. The news of Boris has made me somewhat panic-stricken though - such worrying news.

Having problems holding things together tonight. Just when you think things might somehow get better, or the tiniest chance at least that they might, they get worse. 😢

IWe have been crying after every shift. It’s so heart breaking, especially when patients are young. I wish healthy future for us all.

Worried about Boris too. It makes it even more real. And an email i got in work today about properties being requisitioned "for the storage of bodies". Fuck!

Having a bit of a wobble tonight.
My 87 year old DM had a fall and couldn’t get herself up off the floor so DH had to go into her flat and help her.
She lives in sheltered accommodation and hasn’t left the flat or had anyone enter it for 4 weeks.
We are childminders and caring for a couple of key workers children so having limited contact with people. Now I’m worried that we might have exposed DM to germs ☹️

for all you do.

I feel a bit tearful too. It's the combination of uncertainty, social isolation, the rising death figures and the news about Boris this evening - it's all so upsetting and there seems to be no end in sight right now. Logically I know that this will end, one day, but hope is hard to find at the moment.

For me the one positive thing is that the weather is getting sunnier, so the gardening season is underway. I have seedlings indoors and in our glasshouse. I love the fact that every day they are growing stronger and bigger. If you have a garden, or even just a balcony, I'd recommend you get gardening, it's very therapeutic.

I feel awful tonight. It's upset me a lot knowing that the PM is in ITU.
I feel anxious and sad.

I am trying so hard to stay really strong but sometimes it just all gets too overwhelming and the tears start. I lost my husband to cancer on the first of March, just before everything ramped up a gear. I try and appreciate that he didn't have to go through his last days in the middle of all this, my son and I were able to say a proper goodbye, surrounded by good friends. If I think about it too much my heart breaks for those who have had that ripped away from them, I can't imagine how they can begin to grieve.

Yup. Me too. Worked out that on ireland’s plan I still won’t be able to see my partner in a non-distanced way for another 6 weeks, so if that’s the same here, we won’t have touched each other for 3 months. I’ve had enough of being on my own and our video call just made me really sad.
