Morning all. I've not been on for bloody ages because life has not been much fun, I've had nothing interesting to say and I've been trying to avoid news, social media, as it just gives me stress.
I feel better reading that everyone else has similar feelings of feeling flat and lacking in energy or enthusiasm. I have so much to do, I'm so behind in everything, but I can't summon up the energy for any of it. Every corner of my house is messy, the Christmas lights needs sorting, the cat flap needs fixing, presents need wrapping, it's just endless and I don't know what to do first.
Mil died last month, she and I weren't close, but dh saw her regularly, the kids were upset, but now it's like she never existed, no-one mentions her ever. Not even dh who has gone into "everything's fine, my family are strong, we'll take this in our stride" mode. So that's weird.
I wonder sometimes if this is what depression feels like? My mental health has always been pretty robust but after all this it wouldn't surprise me if we could pretty much all qualify for a diagnosis of mild depression right now.
We'll all soldier on I'm sure, but it's hard.
Thanks for letting me chat (moan)
