This isn’t a goady past btw but I’ve had enough and I’m at breaking point

Just seeing the update that another lockdown is possibly coming on the news and I keep thinking when it will it end.

I’ve had my vaccines, I spent a year isolating as I’m cev and now I’m back at work full time they want to lock down again. I spent my 30th and 31st birthdays isolating and now as im a March baby possibly might be my 32nd one in lockdown too.

I’ve had enough. Im sick of having no life. All I do is work, walk the dog and stay at home currently. I haven’t seen my family either for 2 years as they live in Europe and it’s currently full of covid.

Sorry for the rant I’ve just hit a block today and it’s broken me. If anyone else wants a rant feel free.

Completely agree OP!
WFH has destroyed my eyesight and I'm horrendously anxious and depressed, my relationship is going to shit.
I've had my 3 vaccines, enough is enough. Even my CEV 84 year old nan is out cracking on with life.

It is awful. Sorry you are having such a rough time. It is miserable and not helped by the fact our health service has been so run down over the last 10 years. Or that there are so many people who wont follow any new rules because the government is supposed to lead by example and have showed that they just dont care. It will be over at some point. We just have to hang in til then. I hope you can at least speak to your family - that is really helping me.

I’m ok just having an odd moment. We speak on WhatsApp and Skype but it’s not the same. I’m hanging jn there as I wouldn’t want the nhs to get worse but just feels like it will last the next 5 years

@CharlotteRose90 - I know how that feels! I live on my own and have found I am really depressed in the last few months. So little opportunity to go out and about and do things. And such a deluge of bad news. I wish I had wise words but it is hard to know what to do. I am trying to keep busy and find that helps, and good self care. I also remind myself that there have been pandemics before which did end. Sending you a hug.

@paranoidnamechanger

I agree but from what I’ve read there may be a circuit breaker where just indoor mixing is banned so if things in Europe improve you’ll probably be able to see them soon. They won’t want to pay out furlough.
"Just" indoor mixing?! That's one of the worst things!

OP I hear you. Also headed for a lockdown birthday.

I'm so sorry you haven't seen your family. I wish I could say something more cheerful. I hope you do get to see them.

gofg · 20/12/2021 19:49

I have no dependents and therefore I’m not responsible for anyone else.

What a selfish attitude. I have no dependents, but I still feel a responsibility towards others in society. Let's hope a time doesn't come when you might need to rely on others (not professionals) as you might find there are few willing to help.

ChristmasTreeBee · 20/12/2021 20:50

It’s shit isn’t it?

I’m so bloody fed up with it all - we were booked to go to Lapland last year (before the wanky covid turned up) & postponed to this year and it’s looks like we won’t be going this week either…absolutely devastated as this year I believe is the last year the kids will believe in FC

I’m sick of it, I’ve triple jabbed, dh is now that was a right old nightmare both kids have just had covid, I’m also classed as CEV I was really funny about following the rules now I just don’t give a fuck

My grannie (more like my mum) died alone because of this fucking virus, only 30 at her funeral, couldn't visit in hospital but those cunts in government could have fucking Christmas parties while I couldn’t see my family and I lost my grannies last Christmas 🤬

Yeah I’m sick of it, I’ve lost 2 years of my life and I’m sick of it - the lies from the tories, the rubbish we are being fed, the media hype, everything

Mischance · 20/12/2021 21:03

I have no dependents, but of course feel responsible for those around me and their well-being in this pandemic.

I have more reason than many to be hacked off with all this as my OH died just a few weeks before the first lockdown, so not only did I find myself living alone for the first time in my life, but I could not receive comfort from my loved-ones - it was hell. But I have no grumble with the decision to lock down - except that it was too late.

Of course I was hacked off with it all and still am, but I recognise the need for the measures that have been taken and stick by the rules.

As to the drug company profits .... we live in a capitalist world and those who produce (and do the research) charge for their products and services ... drugs cost money. Doctors make profits out of illness - it pays their salaries. We do not live in a utopia where nothing comes at a cost. I am just thankful that the vaccines and treatments are there.

CorsicaDreaming · 20/12/2021 21:08

@Mischance

Rant away - everyone is sick of it. I am even more sick that scientists are working their tripe out on the vaccines - chasing their tails to catch up with new mutations - and there are people refusing to have it. The vaccine, the only way out of it all, will only work if everyone who can have it, has it.

People are ranting about individual freedoms - I am ranting about collective responsibility and how this is the most important thing in a global pandemic.

Maggie Thatcher said there was no such thing as society and her emphasis on the individual and every person for themselves set a trend and has eroded the sense of community that glues us all together. We are reaping the harvest of all this with folk thinking that only they matter and feeling no sense of responsibility to their fellow human beings, both here and abroad.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels like this - it feels quite a lonely perspective to have at the moment.

But you've said on other threads that you see your Mum on Christmas day and tour dad on Boxing Day and in July this year you were looking after them. Confused

Don't worry, I'm sure most posters realised that.

BaileysBaileys · 20/12/2021 22:12

I’m utterly fed up too, I’m triple vaxxed but was reluctant to have the booster tbh. I’ve had Covid too so felt I shouldn’t have to take a booster after having had Covid only in September. But I did what was asked of me again, done all the masks, social distancing etc etc but now I feel I had enough of this crap.
We haven’t seen our family for nearly 3 years, other family members 4 years. Our children miss their grandparents @CorrBlimeyGG Restrictions and PCR testing have made traveling expensive, stressful and there hasn’t really been a right time yet to go!!

Acinaces · 20/12/2021 22:20

Being CEV doesn't mean you can't leave the house or engage with people. There are precautions one can take to prevent infection.

SecretKeeper1 · 20/12/2021 22:23

The problem is the hospitals, they really should have kept the Nightingales open or repurposed places for Covid patients, a bit like the sanitoriums in TB days. They need more beds and more medical staff, if we’re to carry on as normal. Until then, if we don’t have restrictions while the virus is hospitalising 1000 people a day, we pretty much have to choose between trying to minimise the spread of illness to save lives, or let people die (of covid, cancer, heart attacks, car crashes etc) until there are more beds and nurses. That’s it.

Thewiseoneincognito · 20/12/2021 22:28

OP there’s more than enough of these threads already. Why did you choose to start your own when you could have just ranted/ commented on one of those?

The OP is entitled to create a post. You didn't have to move your mouse over the thread, click a button and then post your comment.

Pointless.

Twillow · 20/12/2021 22:36

What an incredibly selfish statement. You really don't care about other people in the world just because they're not related to you?

coochyboochy · 20/12/2021 22:37

Someone will be along soon to accuse you of having tantrum or that you can only express any negative sentiments about the situation if you are on death's door.

Oh come on, are you serious? Why can’t OP start a new thread if she wants to rant. I think it’s time you take a break from MN
Thewiseoneincognito · 20/12/2021 22:41

@Acinaces I appreciate that but the coronavirus board is littered with very similar threads with extremely similar responses, lots of mini echo chambers lamenting exactly the same things often by the same posters.

Thewiseoneincognito · 20/12/2021 22:43

@BaileysBaileys yes miss 🙄

MrsSkylerWhite · 20/12/2021 22:46
Flowers So sorry, CharlotteRose90. It’s bloody awful. Cant do anything except think about you and the many others in the same situation and wish you the very best.
