I’m not doing this shit anymore

[struggling8888]

I’ve had enough!!!!!!! I’m sick to death of walking around my boring area, sick of the muddy fucking park and having to feed my baby in the cold because we’re not allowed indoors.

I hate the fact we’ve gone into mass fucking hysteria over a virus where 1/3 of people who get it don’t even realize and the vast majority of others get mild flu symptoms AT MOST.

I thought the vaccine was going to be our way out of this shit but no - suddenly there are new variants, it’s not good enough for the whole of the UK to be vaccinated - the WHOLE WORLD has to be vaccinated before we’re truly safe, and we’re now aiming for zero fucking Covid which was NEVER the original aim.

I just want family and friends to come round my house, indoors. I want to go to shops and sit in a cafe and not have to stand in a bloody queue to get in. I want someone to take my baby off me for one bloody afternoon so I can have a bit of peace and quiet.

I thought I’d feel better now the warmer weather’s here but I don’t at all. DP and I had a row earlier because he said it’s hard for him too and it’s not all about me. I never said it was, but surely I’m allowed to have a rant about how shit this is to my own partner?!!

I want the madness to end, now.

What exactly is tripe?

“Tripe is the edible lining of a ruminant's stomach”.

En-fucking-joy.

Your post. Faux concern at its finest, you’ve been one of the unpleasant contributors and now you say the thread is toxic.

@struggling8888

Perhaps everyone needs to step back from this thread - it's getting pretty toxic

I regret coming on here for help. Next time I will internalize because I don’t have any other place to turn (not fully anyway - I don’t want to worry my mum or bore my friends).

Why? Maybe your mum or friends are feeling the same way. Once you get talking, things always seem a bit better....well for a while anyway.

I am always moaning to my mum about how I need a break from all this. Sometimes I don't know whether I am coming or going and definitely put my kids needs before mine. Every day is the same and it is hard to get up sometimes.

But after talking to other mum friends, I do feel a little better to know we are all going through the same thing, albeit in different doses.

I would speak to your friends and family if I were you. Or even your GP if you believe you have PND.

Good luck

I'm not criticising you, but the way the thread has gone.

If you were a friend I'd want you to ring and have a rant rather than deal with this thread.

I really do hope you feel better soon.

Your post. Faux concern at its finest, you’ve been one of the unpleasant contributors and now you say the thread is toxic.

If you read my posts I have understood both sides, you have clearly taken unbridgeable at the fact I didn't agree with your earlier post.

Do you mean umbrage?

I am always moaning to my mum about how I need a break from all this.

My mum has a lot of problems herself and I don’t want to worry her with mine.

I genuinely don’t care about what you think of me, you had no valid point when it came to what I said sooo really couldn’t care less. It’s the ‘are you ok OP’ head tilt shot that’s turning my stomach

Yes but my phone didn't like it.

No head tilt here. Genuinely hope a number of people on this thread seek help.

Mock that all you like if it makes you feel good.

Take a few deep breathes
You are not alone. Breathe in and out.
We are all in the same boat. Mind yourself and your baby. This will all soon pass. Take care

I’m definitely not the one making a mockery of it.

Thanks again for your kind posts Fembot.

Thanks Nanny

You are welcome
Life is never easy
Enjoy your little baby
Mums are very resilient and will always be there. Mind yourself

struggling -perhaps start a new thread, in a less contentious topic area where you can offload and get support? The coronavirus topic is quite combative.

@BonnesVacances I hope things improve for your dd.

Thisevening,, LBC radio was on....

A chap from India phoned in, and said ''In India, all is normal, no lockdowns, and even in the Slums people are not ill or dying.

I wonder if the virus ''ripped'' and the people now are have an immunity?
He said everything is open, and it is great.

Here, we are slaves to f&cking covid.

One part of me wants to say ''Let her rip'' and much like a sparkler, it will burn itself out.

The Indian chap said after the first lockdown was released, it ripped, and now you never hear of it.

Immunity??

Re India...
Seems there are still cases, but zero lockdown.

Good article about it here :

I agree, I won't be conforming to this shit for much longer.

Unfortunately all these threads are similar. The Op is struggling and of course should be supported. Anyone being critical is told to read the room, OP is struggling etc etc.
This should work both ways though. When people come onto the thread to say they or there child is very poorly due to Long COVID or they lost a relative etc they don't really want people piling in saying things like this.

I hate the fact we’ve gone into mass fucking hysteria over a virus where 1/3 of people who get it don’t even realize and the vast majority of others get mild flu symptoms AT MOST.
Especially the shouting and swearing. Yes it will be argued that this is because they are at the end of their rope so anger is justified or perhaps
the OP and other sharing similar views should read the room better aswell.
@Mischance sorry for your loss and lovely post.
Sorry for anyone struggling with MH, job losses, illness, bereavement etc.
I am finding MH provision for kids to be woefully inadequate way before the Pandemic. My dd has had more time without a therapist than with. The pandemic has made things worse of course but I remain positive that the vaccine is the way out. We need to sit tight a little longer.

I thought India were not exactly being honest about figures though. A lot of denial about COVID and people not wanting to admit to having it etc
This is coming from the news way back so may nieve accurate. Will read up.

I hear you loud and clear, OP. I’m in the US and haven’t seen my parents since February 2020. My area currently has a case rate of 40 per 100k . Why oh why, after my parents have had the second dose, can’t they do a PCR test 72 hours before departure and visit me here? It’s beyond dispiriting.
