To feel like the world will move on and I’ll get left behind?

I have nothing. This virus has literally taken everything away from me. It cost me my job, my relationship fizzled out because of it, both parents been dead for years, rest of family on the other end of the country and all have their own lives and forget I exist, I have no friends. Can’t afford to rent this flat anymore, will probably have to move into a grotty bedsit. I suffered a miscarriage a few weeks ago completely alone which broke me as the pregnancy was what gave me a purpose when there was nothing else. Probably should have gone to hospital but had nobody to take me and felt like a fraud using a bus. It was as if I’d convinced myself that I don’t deserve medical treatment. I posted on FB I was feeling a bit down and got no responses or acknowledgement from family. I am so so depressed. I haven’t been out for a daily exercise even once because everybody is out with partners and families and it upsets me. Yet I’ve somehow come down with something today and am in bed wheezing with a sore throat, fuck knows how.

I’m dreading the lockdown being lifted because it feels like the world is going to move on and go back to normal without me and I’ll be forgotten. People will go back to work and school, have emotional and lovely reunifications with families, have celebrations, also of course mourn together about the horror of the past few months, but nothing will change for me. Maybe I’d be better off dead.

Hello OP, we're so sorry to hear you are feeling this way - it sounds like things are particularly difficult at the moment.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We'll move this to Mental Health now, which we feel is a more appropriate topic.

Wishing you all the best OP and hope you can access the support you need. Flowers
