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.

And another thing...I got a weird growth on my tongue., It was sore and horrible. No chance of seeing a Dr, so I did some self surgery and removed it to the best of my ability.

I shouldn't have to do that, should I?

IF moaning isn't allowed right now then when the hell is it???

Moan away op.

I'm managing pretty well. Very fortunate and thankful that DC is young enough to not understand, not realise what's going on, and most importantly, not be affected by it in any way.

What I am starting to struggle with, is that people are getting complacent. My mother lives with us and my brother temporarily moved in following a relationship breakdown, so is subsequently with us too. I'm supposed to be shielding but DM and DB who are key workers, are getting a bit complacent and the fact that my life is basically in their hands, isn't sitting well with me. I'm trying to stay away from them as much as possible but they just don't get it...

And while sat here enjoying this post my other half is banging on about how much chocolate the kids are eating. I bloody know

The noise. Everyone constantly making noise in my house. Why can't they just be quiet for half an hour so I can read a book? The constant physical contact. Children climbing on me, sitting on me, stroking me, hugging me. Just give me space. I and know I'm lucky to be with my children and not alone where there's no one to talk to or hug. Which just makes me feel worse for wanting them to be quiet and leave me alone.

I'm sick of having DS around constantly and wanting constant attention. I'm sick of having loads of things to do, but no motivation.

Fed up at not being able to go to work and being away from the guy I fancy

Most of all, I'm really fucked of with myself being seemingly incapable of stopping shoving chocolate into my face.
I've already put on a few pounds and made the decision to rein it in and restart my exercise, only to find my DVD has fucked off somewhere and I've had to reorder it

And breathe...

Do t k ow where you are, but I can see as the weather gets warmer more people will say, fuck that and be out on the streets.
At this woodland trail I drove to today about 20 cars must’ve parked up in the hour or so we were there.
No one was stupid
Everyone was sensible.

We have a choice of country parks or beach
Sometimes I drive past beach on way home from supermarket..almost like I’m checking it’s still there.
After the ordeal of evacuation from the Canary isLands and about 2-3000 people in the airport , and rammed onto a plane for 6 hours...of I didn’t get it there then , then I’d be very unlucky if it jumped From someone hurrying past 6 foot away

Pissed off now, 4 weeks working from home, today has been shit, wifi up and down more than a Weston donkey, couldn't connect to work system (DS also working from home in the same boat), missing my DPs, DD and my DGDs so much it hurts. My grey roots are showing and as I grew my hair for my friends wedding in February, my fringe is down to my chin, I look like Cousin It from the Addams Family. Not clapping as it was a good idea the first time but not every week. Bright side I have chocolate, wine and gin, DS keeping me company and am now addicted to Red Bull soapbox Racing and Taskmaster on Dave (Thanks DS)

If I can cut dh hair, I think it’s ok to have a go at your tongue 👍

I’m working in a care home and we had a positive resident today. I’m not a direct carer but work fully in the same space. I’m feeling rough and worried it’s here but I’m sure that’s paranoia or just a tired cold.
I’m tired of having to do the super stressful working week but supposed to be grateful I’m working while others I know are in the garden or bored but relaxed at home. I know this is not the case for everyone before I’m savaged but a majority of people I know are in this group so yes I’m prettily jealous.
I’m tired of my DD’s struggling as they are missing normal routine and my eldest struggles with MH which we had just got a lot better with a spate of counselling and this came in.
Work is slowly imploding as the situation gets worse and I see so many lovely people giving their all to keep it safe and pleasant for our residents.

@Xenia 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. This times a million. Every time the death figures are mentioned, they always omit one thing: it's people who died with CV, not people who died of CV.

I'm sighing at what I believe is certain: the lockdown is going to do far, far more damage than the virus itself, yet many people are baying for more restrictions. Very bad recession on the way. How readily and willingly we are sleepwalking into an oppressive self-destruction. Yes, I know I'm in the minority on MN for thinking this. (Don't bother with "what's the alternative?".)

It's really depressing the way that just about everything has shut down, with a few exceptions. If it was just one sector, such as air travel, I could handle that. I find the week just after Christmas bad enough to handle: this feels like an extended version of that, with no end in sight.

I want my sport back, which is probably going to be one of the last things allowed back. There's going to be a huge obesity and mental health crisis before this is over. And I won't be at all surprised if there is large scale civil unrest, when the public has finally had enough, which I am pretty sure will happen, if the politicians play it too safe.

And I wish, I wish, I wish that people would stop using the word "indefinitely", which seems to have replaced "unprecedented". Indefinitely: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally fed up now, ds7 is getting louder by the day (asd) ds9 is trying to keep up with him now .

If it wasn't for ds17 being here I think I might go mad some days

Is anyone else having awful trouble sleeping?

My Year 6 is rather bummed. They haven't even had a field trip yet this year, nothing! Everything was planned for after SATs: week long trip, special days, step ups to secondary ... all gone.

And I'd finally got down to a healthy bmi size 10/12 after losing 4 and a half stone and if I'm not careful I'll have to do it all again after this

@FuzzyPuffling No, you really shouldn't have to do that. I am sorry you have had to, though.

InKog, I'm not sure it's complacency. I think it might be more desperation.

And me . Meant to be in Jamaica. Drinking gin doing Kahoot family quiz 😂

Not feeling great today so I didn't go out for a walk. I live on my own and I'm single and I'm lonely. I join in any online things I can.

Usually I think I am lucky to still have a job and be in good health but I'm fed up today.

Hurrah for you lovely people on Mumsnet

@Wanderings, you say it for me.

So fucking done. Really don't care any more let's just all die.

I feel it today. Mild panic rising at the thought our life as we knew it is gone and emptiness remains.

My parents ring and wonder when they will ever see me again.

I’m constantly loading the dishwasher, well that will finish once the dishwasher tablets run out, I can’t find anymore anywhere.

Monotonous days and wondering why....is this a big conspiracy theory thing, or what? Too much time to ponder. Also no time to think and constantly flitting from one thing to another.

I absolutely need to moan. I can’t seem to get 5 minutes to myself before our sons or husband come searching for me. I cleared out and rearranged our closet under the stairs as well as cleared out a our junk corner in our kitchen. Decided to take a 10 min break while everyone was downstairs and wasn’t even 5 minutes before husband came upstairs and decided to lay next to me. I told him I was taking a 10 minute break, it wasn’t an invitation for him to join. I moved downstairs and he stayed up there and took a bloody nap! He had just been out to pick up a prescription and did a grocery shop less than 30 minute ago. He then wakes up and comes downstairs to remind me of his late run. By this point, I just wanted to tell him to f**k off already because it seems not to enter his head that I need a moment to myself too and get sick of having to remind him. I took my anger out by vacuuming the ground floor, entryways, son’s room and two staircases. He knows the lack of alone time impacts my MH. I was meant to have all of Mother’s Day to myself, but that obviously didn’t happen so I’ve not had a day to myself that wasn’t me going to work since January. A walk outside helps a bit, but I shouldn’t have to leave our home just to get a moment to myself especially in the current circumstances. I miss work so much. I envy my husband being able to still work and talking with his colleagues. He’s been furloughed now for three weeks and decided he is going to use the time to do couch to 5K and who will again be having the kids while he does this, me. I feel like I’m back at sahp mode and have no one to talk to. At least at work I could chat with my colleagues and our regular customers about fashion, tv, and home decor. Can’t do that with my husband (no interest whatsoever or any new tv show that I like) or our sons (5 asd, and a 2.5 yo). Plus, their constant moaning is not helping whatsoever, husband’s even more so!

It feels so good to rant a bit. Thanks for this thread 🙂.

There's nothing we can do so not much point railing against it. I too had a few weeks off earlier in the year due to having an operation so I've spent more time than I'd like stuck at home. I've now got the virus and am feeling lousy so I shall be grateful just to feel well again. And I just zoomed with my pal in hospital with cancer.

So sorry for those working in care homes
You do a magnificent job
My son is also a carer.. he goes into peoples home.. maybe up to 20 a day
At least he gets a break in his car
What’s this special date May 11?

@Wanderings Sorry - I can't do emoji things on my ancient Mac, but I want people to listen to this. I feel like the posters who are saying that PEOPLE WILL DIE if I buy a baguette - but PEOPLE WILL DIE if this lockdown continues. Please, somebody, listen to us.
