Sorry I know there has been a million other posts like this, but I’m really struggling tonight and just needed somewhere to vent!

I’m actually dreading waking up in the morning to another full day of working from home with just me and my 4 year old. I’m actually trying to stay awake late tonight just so I get a bit me time.

My little boy is getting far too much screen time, and the guilt is overwhelming but even he has lost his motivation to do anything! I feel bad that I can’t play with him for most of the day and his new best friend is the tv or tablet 😭
Home schooling has went straight out the window, he is just refusing and I haven’t got the energy to battle anymore.
I’m sick of fucking cooking, washing up, even eating and the weight I’ve put on. Jesus!!! Yet I’m still eating a friggen cheese cake whilst moaning about how much I’m eating.

Everyone I know seems to be coping so well and tonight I just feel like a bit fat failure.

Sorry for such a negative post, I just needed someone to tell me they feel exactly the same and I’m not losing my mind! The thought of tomorrow just fills me with dread. Eurgh!

You know what moaning on here has helped! It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who feels this way, although it’s sad so many of us do. And if we can moan to each other so what, it’ll probably save a few prison sentences 😂 xx

I'd been coping (just about) okay until the last week but now it feels as if a final straw has broken, maybe because it now looks like this will be going on until the end of the year. Juggling full-time work with homeschooling has been full on. Just constantly feel as if i'm doing neither justice and feel the weight of being "found out".

The last to week my sleep's gone completely to pot too. It doesn't matter what I do: drink alcohol, stay teetotal, go to bed early, stay awake till I feel "ready"... I just end up waking up every hour or so regardless and - despite, officially, getting a full seven hours - the fact it's broken makes me feel completely jetlagged. Work's suffering because of it now. So's homeschooling. I find myself completely zoning out at times.

I think the fact its become obvious the Government really are just winging it hasn't helped - that and they're happy to completely compromise what they're strategy should it become politically expedient to do so at a moments notice. It adds to the feeling of chaos and the sense of confusion - that the people elected to give us leadership and direction appear to have completely failed in that regard.
