Anyone else just exhausted and blah

Then add in the rise in COVID cases, all of the Trump won't concede drama, cutting back on social activities because of the increase in COVID, the winter weather coming and not seeing family for holidays.

Yeah, I'm exhausted.

I'm basically just hanging on by a thread until the vaccine. At least that's what I keep telling myself to carry on each day.

Same girl. Hang in there.

Ive been yelling at my kid so much. They’re acting loony too. Everything feels so loaded right now. I have to pull it together.

OP here. Thank you everyone. Yes. It’s the horror of what is happening, the helplessness to do anything (my work is vaguely related telework to Covid), and just the dark days. I try to promote the hopeful future to my teen DDs. Just voicing this helps. Thank you and may we all be careful and safe in the months ahead to see 2021 and vaccine.

I feel the same way here, major blah. toss in an impending divorce, as well.

I did read a recent thread about little pick me ups to get thru the winter.

For me--knowing a vaccine is coming very soon, little luxuries like skin care, seasonal favs like pumpkin choc chip cookies I will bake this week, winter lights (xmas lights), watching the kids be resilient.

Be tough---the vaccine is the light at the end of the tunnel

Yes! So tired and blah. 8+ months of being a work at home mom, stay at home mom and homeschool mom all at the same time while being arms length from my (awesome thankfully) kiddo is a lot. Can’t even get at all psyched for holidays. But I need to for my kiddo. Hang in there all!

I"m exhausted by the people who continue to to GAF about this, and those who preach how careful they are and then privately discuss all the stuff they are doing with others.

Same. I cry most mornings. Also super tired despite exercise and enough sleep etc.
