[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have gotten like this a couple times in the past couple years, and it was very much due to putting really high expectations on one activity because I felt like it was The Only Time I could look forward to something. This was especially hard coming out of Covid when we were ready to "get back to normal," but a series of trips, plans with friends, etc got canceled because the kids kept getting sick once schools went back in person (missed my college reunion due to actually getting covid from a kid as well). I just felt like I had nothing to look forward to and would never leave my house again.

It got better this past year as the illnesses have been spaced a little further apart, and we've been able to do a couple of weekend trips, dates, performances, and other things. I've been spending more on "experiences" and probably need to rein it in at some point, but it's helped me find my emotional footing again and setbacks don't seem as disastrous. So I hope you can just plan more to look forward to and not put so much weight on a single experience. [/quote]
