Please give me some hope. When will life look better again?

[Redbrickwall]

Please no nastiness. I truly am so fragile here

I’m lonely, I’m isolated, my husband has lost his job, the children are losing their education. I feel trapped, hopeless and like there is nothing to look forward to

I don’t see all the mass testing as a good thing, I can only see that it will cause more isolations and more lockdowns as more cases are found

Nothing our government says holds any weight as it is changed within days. I feel like we are being gaslighted on a daily basis.

I’m at the point where if this is life fir the foreseeable future, I’m not sure I want to be involved.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom on when life can look more normal? Will they ever let it be more normal or is this the cycle we will be stuck on now?

I have nothing left. I have no hope. I am on antidepressants but today I’ve hit a new low

2 out of 3 ain't bad????

Please try and take one day at a time, literally . Try and look at only what you need to do each day .. Things that really have to be done, then to those you love, to anything beautiful, to good news stories, to any source of help out there, benefits, citizens advice, the samaritians, mind. Things will get better xx

I always hate January and find it pretty depressing. If we can all get through January and most of Feb I think things will look a lot rosier into March. Lets hope for decent weather early on which always makes life better. Take care op things will pick up.

I hear you reaching out in pain And my only words of comfort is when people take their power back.

That’s it.
67 million people can not be completely locked down , unless they comply.

Compliance is the problem ..and yes I do believe testing does not help and causes more harm.

No words of wisdom unfortunately but try and take it one day at a time. If I think about months to come or next year it's too overwhelming. We can do this if we just focus on day to day. My children's education is suffering too but I cannot control what is happening. I can only support them as best I can. It's absolutely rubbish. We are in this together, try and hold on to hope, we will get out of this eventually. Xx

Nobody on mumsnet knows.

Plenty will scaremonger, some will believe them.

I am counting weeks off on my calendar. I think 12 weeks will see improvements

I completely agree with this. I’ve pretty much had a crystal ball so far with predicting how it will all pan out. I reckon March will be a turning point on the vax (as long as the govt get their arse into gear) after a peak in the north with the new strain it’ll be easier going into the spring and summer. Vax again key for winter 2021
