[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a massive meltdown yesterday. Kids have their first shot, second shot in two weeks, so that's good.

Now 3 weeks of kids at home (due to the weeklong snow school closures), plus working from home for more than 1.5 years now has really got me. I take the kids out all the time (playgrounds, hikes, skating) but I need more adult interaction. We saw my parents over the break but that didn't feel like "enough" especially because they didn't really want to do anything the whole time they were here.  I feel like my friends have mostly disappeared, and the ones that remain - I'm not comfortable eating inside a restaurant and they're not the types to want to go for a hike or something outdoors. So?

My husband told me yesterday to plan a day out or a weekend away, but I'm not sure what I'd even do right now or who with. [/quote]

I feel this. So tired of teleworking with my spouse and being around him constantly, I feel like friendships have all dried up as my single friends are back to YOLOing and going to bars and dining indoors and working out on gyms (many have had COVID breakthrough infections) and we don’t see each other because my little one is not eligible for vaccination and they don’t want to come see me outside around a nap schedule,
And we have little in common new - with my Covid precautions being a new point of difference between us. And with my mom
Friends it is impossible to get together with multiple kids and work schedules/nap schedules/weather/lack of bathrooms and changing tables at outdoor locales   When everyone is well and no one has a cold or is quarantining. I look like I’ve aged a decade, feel like I have no friends anymore, bicker constantly with my spouse and kids, and want nothing more than a week at the beach alone. I’m so deeply fatigued and depressed from years of risk analysis to every aspect of my life, trying desperately to keep everyone healthy and productive and do my job from my living room,
And having little support. I feel like a shell of my old
Self and that I’ll never get back to who I used to be.[/quote]

With all due respect, why don’t you just stop? You are making yourself miserable and it’s a self created problem. I have no idea how healthy people have gotten in the grip of this level of psychosis but the only way to end it is to literally just stop doing it. Detox from this covid cult lol [/quote]
