Describe this year

[youcanthandlethetruth]

Please describe the year you’ve had in under five words

Not as bad as 2018

Realised that I would rather have time than money and peace over constantly needing to do things .

Shite shite and more shite

lonely and broken

Learned to focus on family

Stressful. Lonely. Sad. Hard

ssd has it....shite. And also boring, anxiety inducing, hard work, divisive, exasperating. It has also made me grateful for small things and I’ve appreciated my home and family more.

2020- More broke than I realised.

I had savings, I was prepared...not pandemic prepared though, who would have known this would of happened! We are fairly poor, that’s fine, we have food and heating and things, but for the first time in 10 years we had savings....to us it was a hell of a lot too! But I went through it in just 6 months!!! That’s just paying bills and getting new uniform for the kids, no extras or anything as we went nowhere or did anything due to lockdown ect.

I’m so shocked that even with savings it was not enough and we are still broke!! It’s like what’s the point? You just never have enough money and we are obviously more broke than what we thought! You have to be rich! Not just have savings.

Bizarre

I lost my lovely mum 😔

Beyond comprehension on a regular basis.

Stressful, sad, crazy, made me realise I was stronger and more resilient than I thought I could be, also what a strong family I have

Tiring stressful but not to bad. Left my retail job and now work in a care home and love it.

Grim.

Also: what can go wrong, will go wrong

Hanging on by a thread

Miserable

Oppressive. Grateful. Enlightening. Destabilising. Surreal.

Like a "walking dead" prelude

Boring - missed days out, holidays etc

Stressful - home education, enough said!

Lonely - missed seeing family and friends

Work - worked throughout and it helped keep me going, it was a change from home and a social life.

Thankful - for lots of simple things I'd normally take for granted and none of my family catching covid

Quiet and weird

Not as bad as 2021.

To hell & back

But that said my friends have supported me through events that have been really tough with cover making life and death much more difficult. Day by day we are slowly moving forwards

Not over yet

Dreading next year more.
