Wanting a Hand Hold/Advice

[Januaryjaffa]

I am at the point now where I am really unhappy.

I've been struggling during this lockdown despite doing all I can for my well-being. I work, exercise, have zoom meet ups etc.

I have become involved in a family situation which is stressful and worrying. One of my family members has treated me like shit shouting at me when trying to help in this situation.

I feel compelled to help yet would just like to be left alone to get on with my own life. I can't really provide any more detail without it being outing.

I don't have any support as I have been single for a few years. Two of my exes are getting married soon and even though I am over them I feel very alone.

That sounds really rough, Jaffa. This lockdown in particular sucks. I’m so sorry. Not sure if it’s helpful or not but I think lots of people haven’t been acting their best (me included) - just fatigue and stress, making everyone a bit more insular and less generous. It is a lonely old time.

@Levithecat - thanks for your kind words

Yeah it sounds hard. Can you step back from the family situation a bit to give yourself some thinking space? Be very very kind to yourself, do whatever makes you happy as well, read a book, have a bath, eat something delicious, take care

Thanks for your reply. I still have things to sort out. I'm feeling like I'm falling apart but trying to hold myself together.
