So be so utterly fed up now

[youcanthandlethetruth]

Aside from all of the awful things last year brought (of which I’ve had my share) I am so bored and fed up now.

I’ve walked a thousand times, spent time with the dog, been working, baked, read new books, watched Netflix, started a new instrument but I am now just so, so fed up.

Feeling very down. Anyone else?

I'll ask mn to remove this thread

If you’re feeling depressed
Just go outside
With kids
As close to nature as you can get.
I had mh problems 40 years ago, been medication free for 41 years
All my coping strategies have been swept away..but I’m too bloody minded to give in.

I will not know tow to any more nonsense
That Im adamant on

I'll ask mn to remove this thread

Why?

Sorry wrong thread!!! Xxx

I meant to write it on my own so so sorry xoxoox

Oops
I was just thinking
If we can’t have a rant on mnet
We really are doomed
This is the last bastion 😂

are you ok
Boris Johnson?

No not really

@BearandaSpare it certainly is! it’s glorious...

@Dowser hate to derail but you are talking shit. What an edgy rebel.
Face masks outside maybe not the way to go but opting out completely is just immoral.

@Dowser when you are giving end of life care to a mother of 3 with a coup!e of kids and who has the misfortune to have asthma and catch covid maybe you'll believe a bit harder. Appreciate people are having a hard time but it"s pissible to see both sides.

@NancyDrew1966
I really don’t give a flying fuck what you think

@NancyDrew1966
Save your breath guilt tripping me
It really does not work

Good for you. You obviously don't give one about anyone apart from your sad selfish self.
Why don't you go mask free and at the same time opt out of ICU care then if you need it ? Thing is you won't for all your pointless bravado.

Obviously don't know what the word guilt means. Spreading your irresponsible crap. Rant over.

I do go mask free
I always have done
And believe me
ICU is the last place I’d want to be
You can have my spot

We have a right to breathe oxygen not stale breath

If I put the tv on before 7 Id no nothing all day

Sorry I thought it was clear I didn’t mean put the tv on first thing in the morning, but clearly I should have spelled that out.

@Bluntness100
Lol, no I get your drift..I just limit myself sowe do other things

Try to get out most days.
Bake
Clean 😂
Etc

I think thr one thing I’ve noticed is a lot more mental health threads on here now. More and more people posting they just can’t cope any more. With furlough, home education, not seeing their Friends and family, fear, loneliness, boredom, even just getting sick of going to the bloody park.

It’s becoming a lot more prevalent.

And I think that’s going to get worse before it gets better. That’s what concerns me about threads like this spreading false information.

There is light at the end of this tunnel and hopefully as the vaccines continue to be rolled out and the numbers increased it starts to become very obvious to people we are on our way out of this and back to normality and with that will come optimism.

That’s why I mean try to plan something to do once a day that you’ll look forward to. A good movie, or a zoom quiz with family, a board game night. So you’re not just sitting there in the evening bored crapless.

@Dowser already had covid and certainly not an experience I would want to repeat. Neither would I wish ICU on anybody. We all have 'rights' but also moral responsibilities.

OP how old are your children?

That’s the thing @Bluntness100 - I don’t look forward to any of these things. I don’t want to watch yet another movie. There are no movies left that I want to watch. My husband isn’t up to board games. I spend my days on Teams calls for work, I can’t bear any more screens in the evening as it just reminds me of how messed up this all is. The thought of opening my work laptop on weekends to load up Zoom just makes me want to cry. There is nothing that I am allowed to do that I can genuinely look forward to. I can’t even bring myself to plan anything for a time when this might be over because, I’ll be honest, I’m scared that if I book something else that ends up cancelled (like a couple of small things I had booked last year for February, hoping this would be over) I’ll just break and that’ll be it.

So all that’s left is to concentrate on getting through the days. Just ticking the days off as they drag on and on. It’s not life, it’s an existence and all we can do is just carry on existing until this hopefully ends at some point.

@youcanthandlethetruth
while im sorry to hear you’ve had covid , I still maintain my responsibility is to myself,
My husband and family come next.
I owe nobody anything and they owe me nothing.

I don’t want anyone doing anything they don’t want to do for me..as I won’t be doing anything I don’t want to do for anyone else.
Call me harsh
I’m really not bothered.
We all need to take responsibility for ourselves..end of.
I’m not without compassion but I won’t be told what to do, dictated or lied to.

Sorry you can handle the truth
That wasn’t meant for you
It was meant for Nancy drew
I don’t know what happened and I do apologise 🙏

Chimboo I get that, I use zoom for work so thought it would be weird having a zoom quiz with friends, it wasn’t, we had a few drinks and a lot of laughs.

If there are no movies you want to see, no tv, no games, what about reading? Or trying something new? Like learning a language, learning to knit, a new exercise program, cook new recipes and have different meals. What about some diy you need to get done? Paint a room? Make some curtains, teach yourself dress making. What about the garden, composting, planting some new stuff, tidying, mulching. Something different each night, or weekend day.

My point is we have another few weeks of this. So we can either sit at home friggen miserable, or we can try to focus on doing different things to occupy our minds and make the best of it..

Don’t get me wrong you can decide to sit and “count the days” but all it does is bother you.

Becayse one of the worst things about this is the boredom.
