That's it I'm done

[babasaclover]

Right that's it I'm done. I've been locked in this house since January. First due to health now Coronavirus. I'm done been positive and thankful for having a garden etc - i need to MOOOOOAAAAANNNNN.

Anyone else thoroughly fucked off with it all? Never thought I would miss work and mundane stuff.

@dowser - that's my problem with the whole thing. It's for 3 weeks NOW and possibly more...but then when any restrictions are lifted people will moan and rally and complain and protest like....I don't understand. Don't people understand we can't live like this for the next 6/12/18/2986 months?? Good luck self isolating on the streets.

I went food shopping today. As I arrived and saw the queue I felt tears start to form. I suddenly desperately wanted to walk into the shop like normal.

Oh god, I am SO glad to have found this thread! I'm generally optimistic but today I am pissed off. I am bored and pissed off. I want to see people, do things, go to the pub after a long dog walk, I want DS to finally hang out with his friends and have fun with someone who isn't one of his parents! I want something other than corona going on and dominating the news and our lives. I want to be working again, I want security again, I want our long awaited holiday in July to go ahead (but it won't, we can't afford it now anyway.)

Yes, I know so many people have it worse, I really do, but it doesn't make my current situation feel less rubbish.

Definitely WW in my case. We’ll all come out or lockdown (some time in 2024 by the looks of it) with terrible hair and very fat.

Me too 😭

Spent today consoling a sobbing 3 year old who is missing his grandparents terribly

We have had a challenging week: almost 2 year old and a 3 year old who are at different stages and levels of concentration so activists rarely appeal to both of them. One's happy then the other one starts moaning/shouting/screaming.

I feel so drained.

It comes and goes. On some days dc make me want to dig my nails into my palms. Or eat my own hair or something. On others they are happy so I am happy. I am soooooo missing soooooo many places and people, and getting in my car and driving.

I wondered today if Coronavirus Speakeasies had opened. (I wouldn't approve, obviously)

Oh and while I’m at it..fucking ibuprofen does not work
I’ve still got a banging headache

Thought it was just me, have been doing pretty well until now, we went into self isolation a week before lockdown,which feels like 6 months ago now ! my 16 ,18 year old and me,all stuck I
together. Today I have had enough, I'm bored of everything.I also am dreading returning to work so not only have I had enough of lockdown it has highlighted how shite some of the rest of my life is!Am worried about my parents, my Mum can get very anxious and depressed ,and the lockdown extension has really exacerbated this. My 16 year old ds misses his friends, Im being supportiv,e but hes 16 being stuck in a house with your sister and a 40 something woman must be bloody awful.my 18 year old is actually much nicer than usual which is great, but unnerving.
I'm afraid that I will have lost any social veneer, living nonstop with only teenagers I think has made me regress emotionally so now adolescene and perimenopsuse are colliding in one ( increasingly fatter) body.

I wish I wasn’t so anxious everytime dp walks out the door to work terrified he will bring it home.
So tired being 30 weeks pregnant with an almost 3 year old who doesn’t understand why she can’t see her other family. Worrying about what the situation will be when I give birth in June.
Really wishing I could just have some wine and get a decent nights sleep without pelvic pain and heartburn. Wanting to see my mum.

@babasaclover haha exactly!!

Also had a driving test booked last mo th that was cancelled!!! Have had every test cancelled ince december haha also was supposed to move house in june but the papers arnt being processed at the moment which means i cant move til probably august or september!!!!

Urghhhh !!!!!

FUCK THIS VIRUS SHIT.
THIS FUCKING VIRUS CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF!

(if only it had ears and a conscience eh !)

South side owl
I’m so sorry about your wedding.
I looked forward to mine so much..I did say to Dh..all the people whose weddings are up the swanneee it’s just awful
.for those of you with cars, you are allowed to drive somewhere to exercise you know.

@sonjadog

I totally get this. Ive done it a few times

Can I join? I'm stuck in with 3 children. One is autistic. I'm autistic. I hate change. I hate being around people and I can't get away...

They haven't seen their dad for 5 weeks now. They probably won't for another 2. It's unrelenting. I can't work properly.

I am so fucking fed up. I know I'll bounce back, but right now I don't have the energy to do anything.

I'm fed up today too. My boobs hurt as period is due, I'm working from home sat on my sofa because I don't have a desk and it's getting uncomfortable. It's sunny outside but I can't go and have a nice walk because I'm working until 11pm! After tonight I'm off until Monday so I'll hopefully feel better then. In the meantime I have some Easter egg left.

Oh thank you fellow whingers I'm fed up too. I cried this morning because useless team leader is incapable of communicating, telling us what to do or making a decision I AM NOT A FRIGGING MINDREADER so I'm achieving nothing at work

i've not done enough exercise and my hard-earned muscles are disappearing and all my limbs and joints hurt

I live alone and i've not seen my partner for weeks

and I want to go to the shop and just get crisps and have a chat with some old geezer in the queue - yes a real live human being, face to face - and pet the tabby on my street on the way home and think fuck it then go to the pub with my mate

I just want to go back to work and see people, I don't give a shit if I get CV even though I've got an underlying condition and it could kill me. fuck everything.

and I've got PMT (probably obvious from my previous post)

Hi @dowser

We don't know if it's postponed yet, but even if it isnt we've kind of missed the 'fun looking forward to it' bit and will be a last minute rush.

And the the issue is when do you reschedule for? It's such a mindfuck. Especially if you assume some posters on here know insider secrets with their lockdown predictions.

I've got something terribly wrong with my leg. I can barely walk. Everything that was planned for my diagnosis and treatment has been canceled

Same here, @ElizabethMainwaring, only it's my foot. I'm so sorry you are in the same situation. I cry with pain several times a day, and can't sleep because of it at night.

There are many other things too (children who should be doing GCSE and A levels; non-resident partner whom I chose not to live with because it was better for our children, including one with ASD, and whom I now can't see; lost my job; no replacement income; need to be out of the house for mental health reasons).

I cried again when I read today that 91% of people want the lockdown to continue. Who are these people?????? Why did nobody ask me???

I'll join with my own pity party. I have an illness which I really suffer from during the autumn/winter so I've been pretty much stuck in the house since October. Spring/summer is when I start feeling better & able to get out & about & bang, corona 😡. So I feel like it'll be another year before I can get out properly or possibly a few months in the summer if I'm lucky.

@DBML yes maybe the rain isn’t helping.

not only have I had enough of lockdown it has highlighted how shite some of the rest of my life is!

I feel like this too. In my case I don’t have work at the moment, and dread going back to another admin job (once I have found it).

I also feel so useless. Am at home with three teens and some volunteering jobs (through my mutual aid group) have finally started coming through, but I feel pretty pointless. Yet at the same time I know I would be terrified of being on the frontline.

Especially if you assume some posters on here know insider secrets with their lockdown predictions

They don't know anything at all. They are looking in their tea-leaves, @SouthsideOwl Everything they say sounds like a particularly bad horoscope ("I see ... primary schools will re-open in May, but only for Years 1 and 3 ... gatherings of 10 will be allowed, but nothing bigger ... and other such bollocks...")

We need to push to get it lifted on 11 May then as otherwise in my view it breaches human rights and should just be voluntary. We are damaging the lives of 60m to save a relatively few (even if 40,000 die in the first wave) many of whom are likely to die anyway as very old or sick. This is not the greater good. I never wanted even schools to close and have been consistent throughout.

I was ok. But this week has been a bit of a freefall.

The same thing each day. Emptying and refilling the dishwasher - 17 fucking times a day. Walking the dog on the same mind numbing route every day. Even he his bored of pissing on the same freaking trees. Oh and my particular favourite is the daily 4pm dinner decision. Yes I know I have the time to whip up a gourmet feast but with one vegan (who hates nuts, pulses and fucking vegetables), one who would eat steak 7 times a week, one who only eats chicken & mince and a husband who understandably has given up, it's like a daily game of food roulette. I gave up a few days ago and gave them sandwiches. Steak boy was horrified.

I hate the weird vibe. The x marks the spot shopping strangeness. The hand gel dispenser/head counting person at the door of the supermarket. I took the cat to the vet today and could not physically go in with her.

I hate that we have four birthdays in the next four weeks (my DDs 13th included), and we get to celebrate with the groundhog who lives in my kitchen but nobody else.

Mostly, I am so fucking bored that I could scream / or cry. I might just go and do that.

Thanks for the coronamoan. It helps.

I am a WFH introvert.

I’ve hit a wall today too. Can’t face anymore of being stuck in with DH and DD4, trying to simultaneously stop my fledgling business going down the Swannee and get some work in so we can eat, and I don’t go bankrupt while also homeschooling DD, entertain her, cook, tidy up, all the fucking rest of it.

It’s fucking impossible.

I’ve had zero downtime since it all began (I hardly get any anyway), I’m constantly racing to get stuff done yet the place is constantly a dirty shit heap. Everyday tasks like shopping now take four times as long, there’s way more domestic work to do, but far less time to do it. Nothing’s being done well, I’m not spending enough time with DD, I’m distracted when I do, i can’t spend enough time working to actually get work in, can’t get enough sleep to feel ok. Can’t even go out for a fucking coffee.

Fucking fed up with everything.
