I’m really really fed up with
Watching my DiL getting progressively worse
Worrying about the affects on my son and grandchildren
That their not getting the medical support because of this lockdown.
The discomfort from my head wound and dried blood stuck my hair.
The fact I can’t wash my hair
That I have to wear a hat if I go out( I don’t suit a hat! I look like ‘Freddy parrot face Davis’ if I wear a hat.
I look a right mess
My hay fever has suddenly reappeared
One of my grandchildren has NITS! (How when she doesn’t see anyone)
There’s bugger all on the television (that might, just might cheer me up)
I’ve ruined a really expensive food processor
That I’m getting fatter by the minute
I have absolutely no self control
I should respond to some of your lovely supportive messages but just can’t. I can’t even share my woes with friends.
I feel a real failure because I can’t pull myself together
I’m not sure I trust the government or scientific advice we’re getting
I’m going to explode if any more equipment ‘bleeps’ at me
Oh yes my husband’s pensions is going down the drain
My glass dining table exploded. So now I’ll need a new one.
My husband is handling everything much better than me. That makes me feel as if I’m letting him down
No wonder I’m starting to be concerned about my mental health. I’m sure I’m just very sad at a very sad situation.
I’m sure my anxiety is normal in the current situation.
I’m sure the lockdown is making things seem worse.
Honestly don’t give me any sympathy or advice ( I normally welcome it.) I just need to know some of you feel the same about stuff. I just want to know it’s normal to moan about big and little stuff. Tell me your moans to make me feel normal
Ps if I really think about it I could definitely find more to moan about.

I have none of the sadness in your life that you are dealing with but I still feel fed up and disgusted with myself because:-

I can't stop eating crap.
I am getting fatter all the time.
I can't get on top of the housework despite having all day to do it.
I hate cooking and still have to do it everyday.
All I really want to do is sleep or read and be left alone.

I think you have been brilliant and am not surprised that you are having a bit of a melt down. For most people this would have come a lot sooner.
