How are you all doing ? I work for a supermarket so been through it all from the start of this. It's been very stressful and the attitude of some people has been disgusting.
But just wanted to be positive as we keyworkers have done so well and we should be proud of ourselves in what ever sector you work kn as a keyworker. It's been tough but and upsetting at times. But keep going we are the backbone of this country.

I've just about had enough tbh. Im a clinician in the NHS. My job has become more awful than I could ever have imagined, and is set to continue getting worse, for possibly years to come.Sadly in my specialty the peak is yet to come. Additionally my own children secondary school aged children have had their lives torn apart with no end in sight and watching them become more and more despondent is breaking my heart. The ongoing stress of trying to protect their mental health, support them to do school work, and juggle my horrendous job is taking its toll and I honestly dont know how much longer I can do it. I am looking into options such as selling the house, even bankruptcy so I can give up my job and focus on the kids....but there are no easy options. Just having a little cry into my coffee before heading off to work.

@Hugepeppapigfan
Senior leader in a primary school and I also have a full class teaching responsibility. I’m exhausted. I’m in charge of the key worker provision and staffing as well as sorting home learning for my class (and it is more than some worksheets and some links even though so many on MN seem to think that’s what all teachers are doing 
) and now I’m going to be teaching a bubble full time with only a tiny break each day. I’m so worn down by government guidance and a zillion changes and last minute announcements. Mostly I’m deflated by the media and so many negative posts on Mumsnet. Planning my exit from teaching at some point but haven’t got the time just now.
Hats off to all key workers. It’s easy to moan that I’m exhausted but so many jobs are tough just now. And so many tougher than mine.
