How are you coping?

[OddsNSodsBitsNBobs]

If you have been greatly impacted by the pandemic how are you coping?

I'm struggling and I dont know what to do. There are no appointments available at my GP until next year which isn't all that surprising as it was a 6-8 week wait before all this.

My life is crumbling financially due to work problems and I've got that dead feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm trying to put a smile on my face for the DCs benefit but I'm not really with them as my mind is racing constantly.

My feelings are magnified due to losing my DM at the beginning of lockdown.

Any coping methods for getting myself out of this sense of doom? I know I'm not the only one but I certainly feel I'm on my own.

and my heart goes out to you. It seems that the end is nowhere in sight and all the resilience that we had in the spring has gradually eroded away. I am sorry OP, I have no advice other than you are not alone in this.

Thanks @Dogneedsbrushing, your right I'm not alone but I feel it. I was the only person I know that was furloughed (other than work colleagues) all my family and friends on the face of it have been unaffected financially at least. Their lives were pretty much back to normal once the shops reopened and they could go out for dinner. I've been counting the pennies since March and Christmas is cancelled. Oh gosh, I sound jealous! It's the not knowing what the future holds, when the end is. I cant really plan for the future jobwise as if it does eventually right itself I'm better off sticking with it. It's a rocky road and I'm on the cliffs edge.
