I can't do another lockdown.

I'm sitting here knowing that we are very likely going to go into another lockdown, listening to my children playing knowing that I can't go through another lockdown. I don't want to leave my children, I love them with all my heart which you probably won't believe because how can I say I love them but also know that I'd rather end my life than go through that again. I'm not even upset, I've just accepted that this is it. I can't reach out for help, I was barely getting help before the last lockdown, and then nothing when it happened and nothing since there is no help. There never has been. I know that if lockdown doesnt happen then alot more people will die, and so it is incredibly selfish of me to be so angry, but I am angry. I am angry and scared and I can't see another way out, I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know I am a coward so I can't face another lockdown. I don't even know what the point of this post is, I am just angry and so scared, and I'm tired and I'm not strong enough to do this again, even for my own children.

It’s totally shit OP. This one will finish off what’s left of my job, which means I will be forced to leave my home - the final nail in the coffin. But unfortunately nothing else (the economy, mental health, people’s jobs, our kids) matters in this whole shitstorm apart from sodding Covid.
